FUBR!

First of all there was the Badger game Sunday morning.  For all that missed it I believe this was the worst reffing I have ever seen - way worse then the Fail Mary last year in the Packer game which was a call open to interpretation of the rules.

But the Badger game was just down right incompetence.  This comes from SBNation   

Setup: Stave completes a 6-yard out to Abbrederis to the ASU 13 yard line. Abby steps out of bounds and stops the clock at 00:18. The ball is spotted on the right hash mark.
00:18 - Wisconsin snaps the ball, Stave runs to the middle of the field.
00:17 - Stave clearly takes a knee
See the knee:


See the clock:


Note that Stave taking the knee is largely obscured from the defense by left guard Ryan Groy.


00:16 Stave places the ball on the ground at the 15 yard line as he gets up off his knee.


00:15 The officials blow the whistle. Clearly audible in the video.

00:13 As an official walks in to set the ball, three ASU players jump on it.


 00:10 Two of the ASU players get up, the third remains on top of the ball while the official gently, casually taps him on the back. Stave protests to the other official.





00:05 Eight seconds later, the remaining ASU player gets to his feet.




00:04 Official places the ball.


00:03 Official holds up a hand to the center indicating that Wisconsin cannot snap the ball.


00:01 Official puts his arm down and starts to back away. (You can see the ref behind the ASU D-line.)






00:00 Time expires with Wisconsin still trying to snap the ball.


To recap: Wisconsin downed the ball with 17 seconds remaining, the refs blew the play dead at 15 seconds, after the play was blown dead several ASU players jump on the ball and sit on it for eight seconds. There can be no question that this is a delay of game on the defense. The refs do not place the ball on the ground until 11 seconds after it was blown dead and don't put the ball in play until 14 seconds after. After that the officials huddled very briefly in the middle of the field and then, without any explanation or speaking with anyone else, ran off the field. That was one of the most bizarre and unprofessional things I've ever seen...

Today I have to travel to New Glarus to deliver a 7x21 framed canvas print.  Looks great.  Can't wait for the customer to see it.  I think I'll open my webstore October 4th. We're going to Door County the week before to get some free motel days.  Remember the vacation from hell last year?

1. constant rain/wind
2. we find out Milo might have cancer and mighth have to put him down when we get back
3. Rod starts to catch a cold on the way up.
3. DJ breaks her ankle day 2
4. Rod is getting really sick with cold
5. No emergency room within 30 miles
6. after 1 day in hospital DJ is now on crutches - Rod should be in bed
7. we decide to leave early
8. drive home truck kicks up rock and breaks front window of car.


HOWEVER - I probably took some of my best selling photos on that trip  - am I like fine wine?  or the grapes?  I need to suffer to take my best photos??  NOOOOOOOO!!!  I don't want that  LOL

This is where DJ broke her ankle. 

This is one of my hotter images. 




a cool stand of birch I stopped at on the way to the non-emergency room


A wonderful stone wall where I stopped again on the way to the non-emergency room

 I do my best work when deathly ill.

The GOOD news was that as we neared home the vet calls and results were back.  Milo does NOT have cancer.  He has been suffering for the last year with a horrible infection in his sinus's. 

WHEW!!

FALL COLOR REPORT

Looking for a site for fall color?   Check out the link above!   Funny.  When I was at my class reunion a friend how lives near Denver was talking about how everyone in Colorado brag about fall colors. He said Colorado is nothing compared to Wisconsin!   Then he starts talking about why with the type of soil and so forth.  Weird, 40 years ago I did not know he knew that stuff.
