TWO OF THE THREE STOOGES FROM OKLAHOMA
PICTURED ABOVE
Pictured above are two members of the former OKLAHOMA THREE STOOGES. Can you guess who they are?
WHAT IS AN EXCESSIVE NUMBER OF REQUESTS FOR AN OVERRULE?
This doesn't come up often but it did happen this weekend to yours truly. The girl had 26 requests for an overrule in the first set so I warned her about excessive requests. Her coach came quickly to the court and asked why I told her that--of course when he found out she had 26 requests in the first set he quickly moved to another court. BTW, none of her requests for an overrule were granted.
LOW ALCOHOL TOLERANCE FOR OUR FEMALE OFFICIALS
Seems that one of our female officials here in Texas has a low tolerance for alcohol. Over the weekend as she was out imbibing with other officials, one of her male official friends called with a question about a tournament. She quickly asked him, "Did you call me so I can talk dirty to you?"
After he recovered his senses, he quickly asked "Who is this?" Obviously, he was wondering who he had gotten on the phone.
This one will be hard to guess since this official is normally above reproach and very seldom lets alcohol touch her lips.
Can you guess who she is?
CASE OF THE PILFERED SINGLES STICKS
Seems that in a recent ITA match Official A finished his doubles match and then put up the singles sticks. Official A then took a little break before the singles began and noticed that his court did not having singles sticks on it so he returned to his doubles court and PILFERED the singles sticks to take to his own court.
Official B and the referee stood in abject amazement as they watched Official A pilfering the singles sticks!

Love the photo? Where in the world did that come? Surely its staged.
It was definitely not staged. It was the TWO STOOGES in action at the OU versus Pepperdine men's match today in Norman, Oklahoma.
I think they look pretty impressive as they go about their worldly duties.
Just goes to show you that the blog has eyes everywhere and informants who are always more than willing to share good tidbits with us.
Was this count of 26 requests an estimate or an actual tally of each request?? Begs the question of how much attention was actually being focused on the match!!
If the requests were for actual close calls, then any number of requests would be fine with me. BUT, if requests continously were made on obvious out calls then a stern warning would be forthcoming and player beware.
Looks like they are practicing for mechanical bull riding.

Obviously the photo represents a totally empty court with a new net strap being installed prior to play for the next match.
Was the pilferer of singles sticks the missing stooge? If not, then he should be a leading contender for a replacement position so the three stooges can be reunited once again.
The missing stooge has resigned his position as one of the Three Stooges from Oklahoma. The stick pilferer was not from Oklahoma therefore he is not eligible to be a stooge.
I am sure they are taking applications though and a few names come to mind very quickly to fill the position.
I would be more pissed that they are straining that poor net, I am sure there was no coach around at the time.
Damn - what is the tensile strength of a net cord? Must be more than 250lbs.

RELAX! That is the OFFICIAL exercise program for ALL OFFICIALS!

Re: Pilfered.
Who was the Referee at this match. Why weren't all courts inspected prior to the match to make certain all courts had singles sticks at the court ready to go when needed? That is basic Refereeing 101.
RM was the Referee and all sticks were in their semi-proper positions on court.
