With all due respect, so I guess I had to do a State Final in my state in order to know what the officials go thru when they are there?

That is the dumbest logic I have ever heard. Some of us know people that work D1. I personally work for an assignor that is rather well known and works D1. Not only has he told me personally some things, he has shared many things about who works where and how you can get there. And that is just one official. Forget the others that I have talked to (not just me btw) that work D1 and talk about what they do and how the system works. So if you think that is being a smart-***, because we are sharing what is not only true but not a secret, sorry to disappoint. If you have another perspective, share it. But nothing that anyone talked about was not true. You do not get to the Pac-10 conference by just working the Pac-10. You might have to do a West Coast Conference or many other mid-major conference to even get consideration. Works that way where I live. You just do not walk into the Big Ten without doing the Missouri Valley or the Mid-Con, for example first.

Peace
Hey, Jeff,
Do me a favor. Don't big time me about your state championships...I wasn't exactly picking you out, anyway. My point was we had a legitimate fan who had a legitimate question and I don't think we should belittle him just because he's not a referee. I also have several friends that work or have worked DI, so that crap doesn't get you anywhere with me. I did not say anything bad about the PAC-10 guys, ou will notice. I'm just saying that just because the guy is a fan and not a ref, let's not ridicule him, okay?
