Chicago NCAA Meeting

[UmpTTS43]

Wondering who is planning on attending the NCAA meeting in Chicago this year. I know of some, but would like to meet those that i have not yet met. Feel free to PM.

I will go to the meeting in Philadelphia. I would like to meet the UE guys that will go to this one.

[AZump78]

ATL for me...

[spiritump]

be at philly

[hckyosgood30]

I'll be at San Fran

[Fittske24]

ATL for me also...

[gnhbua93]

Too bad for me that C.Brown and Fittske24 are going to the Atlanta one. Would be a pleasure to meet those 2 class a umpires.

[AZump78]

Thanks for the kind words. Just a small fish in a big pond my friend!

Now Fitts on the other hand....

[JaxRolo]

Is this a mandatory meeting for NCAA umpires?

[AZump78]

Only if you want to be eligible for NCAA post-season...or if your assignor makes you go.

[mstaylor]

Some conferences want you to go, it's a great way to network, plus you get some great deals on gear from the major suppliers.

[gnhbua93]

Too bad that Ump-Attire is not going to Philadelphia. We are this year's forgot meeting.

I think about 12 of us are coming to Chicago from Springfield.

I always enjoy seeing that contingent.

Burn! That's going to sting awhile.

I will be in Chicago on January 5. Probably coming down that morning and leaving that evening. I have a basketball game the night before.

[johnnyg08]

I would've preferred to do it that way. Our group is leaving Friday, hopefully coming back on Saturday. We'll see.

[zm1283]

Last year I drove up there on Friday night by myself and drove back Saturday afternoon/evening. Some of the guys from here flew from Chicago through Atlanta to get back to Springfield and I beat them back by several hours. I laughed at that one.

[Stretch]

I will be at the Chicago meeting.

What was the umpire clip from Dave Yeast's opening during his CBUA talk? 

 

It appeared to be from a TV show that was on TBS.

 

Thanks
