glad he's well. But have you seen ACC officials.Seems he's still giving the conference "da bidness".

he was a God-awful official.
The fact that he is permitted to train new officials is not a good thing for college football.

our staff would have allowed him to call so many CU USC games. The definition of bad referee is the clown who had our GT and Pitt games last year.

@ GT in 05 was when we had a TD called back for only have 10 offensive players on the field. What a dumb rule.

Because he had a distinctive voice, him getting confused on the rules often and pointing the wrong way on penalties, and of course the bidness

He was the lead official in some of our most memorable wins. Most notably 63-17 to the trailer park trash up the road.

I am sorry he was hurt and glad of his recovery. I am also glad he is no longer on the field. He was one of the most narcissistic, look at me, Clemson drive killing officials that ever lived. Those of you that were entertained by him must have a weird sense of humor.

Narcissistic?

Not sure what evidence you are basing your diagnosis on. Did he wear his sleeves super short to show off his guns and flex while signaling the infraction?

If so, he may qualify. Ron loved him some Ron.

What chicken coop did you just crawl out of? If you can not see Cherry's bias against us you must be a doofus.

I was a teenager in the 70's and a KISS fan, the Holier Than Thou Not Gettin' Laid Music Nerds were relentless.So I'll roll down the window when Nickelback comes on.
Ron Cherry for all his faults, his crew called it the same way for both sides. Ron loved him some camera time.

Agreed. It was inevitable he was going to get criticism given the circumstances. He certainly wasn’t perfect. No ref is. No human is. But he seemed competent and fair. That’s the most one can ask for.

Did I read this correctly? No black refs in the ACC prior to 1993?

i asked him whatever happened to cherry. i told him that i was a clemson fan but i never had a problem with him. i, unlike most fans, dont believe in blaming officials for losses. he shared the story about cherry getting hurt and i was shocked. wagers is a great guy! if you have a chance to talk to him i recommend taking the time.

It is nice to see all of the reasonable posts on here about him. I agree with Gotgrz' comparison to Nickleback (ha ha!). It was cool to pile on, plus, he was probably the only official whose name most folks knew.
A good friend of mine officiates and attened a clinic with him - said he was a great guy and a great ref. How can you not like someone who says "Giving him the bidness?" That is classic.
