Why do we have a WAC crew in here?
It should be a MAC crew doing this game. I’m just paranoid from last week’s fiasco with Big 10 officials.
The Big 10 hates us
Whereas the West Coast is impartial. I hope.
Anyways, she has to work extra hard to not be discriminated against because she is of the opposite sex. She’s carrying that flag and has a lot of pressure on her to make the right calls in every game.
