This is related to the topic we discussed last week. I have some numbers to share with everyone. Looking at all 2,193 in-state games played through Saturday, on average, the winning team is 25.7 points better than the losing team. I have compiled point margins for all 2193 games and came up with a simple chart. Some of you may disagree with the grades I've given each group. This is my opinion but I'm anxious for feedback. As you can see below, 37% of our games are pretty good or better with 20% being really good. However, 47% are pretty awful. In fact, 871 games (40% of all games played) were decided by 31 points or more. Can we do anything to shore this up?

I see you making faces again instead of talking to me like a man big shot. I am used to ladies making smiling faces after spending a night with me, but I want you to stop making these faces when trying to react to my well-received, accurate, on-target comments!
I have asked you to provide examples several times when you have complained about officiating in games that you have viewed/attended, and you do not have the courage to answer my questions. From now on, you keep your opinions on the officiating to yourself, and do not comment on officiating again. Do you understand and have I made myself clear?
