Can We Start A Diary To Keep Track Of The Referees?

I wish we had a diary that we could keep going back to throughout the season (using the search feature maybe) to keep track of horrible, seemingly anti-Blazers referee action in a Blazer game.  (Remember how horrible the refereeing was on the 3-16-07 Laker game)  

**If we post a comment in this diary specific to a particular game with horrible ref calls/non-calls and with the guilty refs name in the comment, then when we go into an important matchup we can be forewarned with vital information.**

It would take everyone's help.  I'm not good at remembering names be they players or refs, so I couldn't get the info from memory.  Also, it is harder to follow which ref was the "lousy caller" or the "pretend you didn't see it" type of guy when you are at a game.  and there will be times when I miss a game.  (sadly no cable to tape it.)  So it would take a collective effort.

I find it is listening to the radio that gives the best ref info because the reffing dirt is always dished better there.  

Is anyone else interested in amassing this information?

That's a cool idea
I think it'd need to be done in a journal environment that was a place that was easily sortable.  This site is TERRIBLE about finding past post information easily.

I'd recommend livejournal,deadjournal, or something along the same lines.  You could do an initial post and then let people comment as a user name or as anon.

You can then post the link at the beginning of every game day and have people add to it.

Maybe some would volunteer to specifically keep it up?

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
