At least Hess didn't answer his cell phone in the middle of calling a game like the guy below!
"Fuck you, buddy."
Dude brought it up. But I acknowlege I'm a proud, cocky bastard. Self-made at that.
Wait, someone said Karl made a tweet. What was it? Sorry, was too busy working and missed it. I didn't inherit anything so, unlike Mit, I can't just sit around and send out tweets and then not answer questions about it.
Sorry Mit. But come on, when you throw a guy's career in peril, at least be man enough to answer questions about it. #BushLeague
I only heard about it. Point being different accounts. Chris is a friend of mind and I trust him. Whatever he says is fine by me. But even he concedes there was a lot of stuff coming from around him that was kickout worthy.
See how I answer questions? Mit?
FIFYSome guy thinks I go to 10-12 games a year. That's funny. I've been to 12 in the last 20 days. In 5 states. I go to 10-12 games a year for the sole purpose of watching Karl Hess work the game. It's a thing of beauty.
there are two sides to every story and and the truth is always in the middle

I'm friends with Hess, so I believe him when in the same ESPN story about Mit-gate he is said to have "told ACC officials that the former players weren't ejected for anything they said" but for excessive demonstration on several calls.
"Excessive demonstration"? What the hell is that?
I am seriously looking for guidance here. Where are some guidelines that describe what sort of actions or words can get you tossed? If I buy a ticket, someone is going to have to give me a darn good explanation as to why I am being kicked out - else I am staying put. I always wondered what excuse they used to kick out the Presbyterian fan when Roy pointed at him. If that had been me there would have been a scene for sure.
Well really they can toss you for any reason, a ticket is a revocable license to be on the property.
I wouldn't be surprised if that were true - in a technical sense. It probably says that in the fine print on the back of the ticket or something. But it seems ridiculouse from a practical standpoint. People say and do wild and crazy things while cheering for their team - sometimes pretty offensive stuff. That is normal and expected - which is why it is rare and ridiculous when an official over-reacts and tosses someone.
I remember when HGIHW announced he was quitting the boards ten years ago.
Sorry, I just disagree with a lot of these comments. Hess, like Kersey, calmly makes calls and moves on. Unlike Valentine and Paparo and Mike Wood, he doesn't flail his arms around and pick fights with Coaches. Even Sunday, when Manning wanted to argue about who the call was on, Hess just walked away.
We're all entitled to our opinion I guess but I ask you this: do you watch Karl Hess ref 10-12 games a year in person? Do you even attend 10-12 college games a year? If not, I'm not really sure your opinion is all that educated. Sorry.
What do you think the reaction and punishment would have been if a Louisville player said that instead of a ref?
Also LMAO that DR thinks he's special because he watches 10-12 games a year.

Get the fuck over yourself. Jesus.
What a self-congratulating twat.

Who brought it up?
Oh, and not a single person is "self-made" in America. Society helped you get to where you are no matter who the fuck you are. So again, get the fuck over yourself.
