Apology ahead for Machock

[Michael and Phyllis Pickens]

I don't remember seeing this link on our web page.

Why is it that the ref's never appolgize?  This was a tournament game in
which the ref made himself bigger than the game in my opinion.  Bob can't
critize him or he gets in trouble.  Apparently if the radio guy does so he
gets in big trouble.  Whats next . . . the fans?  Maybe the Mascot or the
Cheerleaders.  I love listening to Machock give an unbiased opinion of the
game, refs and the players.  He says just as many bad things about our guys
this year as he did the opposing team.  I support Chucks freedom of speech
and I think the refs should be held accountable.  Coaches are held
accountable.  If Bob has three more years of 15 - 17 wins I'm sure we would
all be yelling for a change.  We are currently yelling at the players for
doing  a bad job this year.  I am sure Bob holds them accountable.  Mr. Goin
holds Machock and Huggins accountable.  I know being a ref is a thankless
job but shouldn't the refs be as invisible in the game as much as possible.
I can't remember the last time I said I can't wait to go see Ed Hightower
tonight at the Shoe.  Sorry just needed to vent a little.

M!
