I have no dog in the fight - as soon as ULL was done I became a casual fan - but the umpiring this year is the worst I can recall seeing since I started watching the WCWS. If these are the BEST NCAA umpires...WOW!

safe in an undisclosed location
no kidding. I watch MLB games and constantly think "how do they consistently call a ball 1 inch out of the zone a ball". Then I watch the WCWS and just expect a poorly defined zone. ESPN throws up the K zone occasionally and it shows egregious mistakes in the umps judgment. The announcers of course say nothing about it.

WTF would you put Paul "Smokey" Edds, PAC 12 ump, in the UO/Bama game. He was the same one who took the HR from Udria because Hawkins stepped in fair territory. There were SEC match ups that he could have worked. Looked like he was going out of his way to not show bias towards the PAC. I am a biased fan but Ifeel he did a crappy job!!!

This is the part that's bugging me - not only are they not saying anything, they're agreeing with the blown calls even after replay. The Perez play is great example, they didn't say boo even while watching the slo mo from 3 angles.

bahhhh. Perez just got called safe at second despite being tagged out by about a foot. If I were Clint Meyers I would be doing a full on Billy Martin routine.

No, Lou Piniella and pull the bag up and throw it at the ump! lol

Thought they were going to have to blur out Meyers mouth on the barage of bs's and f' ins. Even more entertaining than Hutchins telling her that she has no business umpiring at that level.
