What will the Big 10 do without him, his over animated self...and his hair?

It's my opinion that the best officials are the ones that I couldn't name. So long Eddie, and take Teddy with you.

Go Gophers!!

A good referee is like a good drummer. They shouldn't be noticed.

 

[SelectionSunday]

Maybe the Big Ten will bring back Jim Bain and Tommy Rucker.

 

[Minnesconsin fan]

I hope this means more young refs that work to get into proper position and not just more Jim Burr and Ted Valentine

Praise the lord. And yes, please take TV Teddy with you.

 

[Bad Gopher]

Is his hair retiring, too? His hair is considerably younger and can't even be close to retirement age.

Please, can this be a package deal with Hightower and Sanzere?

I am begging - please?

I second that. I'll take Valentine's hot-dogging (not that I prefer camera-loving refs) over Sanzere any day of the week.

Too bad Parski wasn't reffing all our games the last six years - We'd be six time National Champions.

Agreed.

Huh? Makes no sense as usual.

 

[Halsey Hall]

You guys naming all these old refs has reopened a lot of wounds for me. RIP Ed

Kitts is done too. No about Jim Burr...

I just wanted to see what it feels like to make a Parski post.

BTW have you moved to Lubbock yet?

Agreed. That is one of the best threads I've ever seen. Bravo to the good folks at KU!

Tom Kelly never said that.

"My goodness" was one of Tom Kelly's most common comments.
