It was 89*F, humidity 95%, no wind to start our game.

I lost 12 lbs during the game, of course I'm an Umpire so we usually have plenty in reserve. It seems the all Umpires retain fluid, that's why we ...

Any way, to begin the 4th QTR, the home team was leading 8-7, the score held up until 4 minutes left in the game. Then all hell broke loose.

It started with a late hit OOB, retaliation by an elbow to the side of the head, one player DQ'd.

With 0:35 left on the clock the home team was positioned with a 1st and goal at B's 7. One of the Asst coaches (home team) asked the LJ "since he threw out the Tailback, and you know that will cost us this game, Do you have enough bxxxs to throw me out". "No coach, but this flag is one step closer." 15 yards-UC

Head coach steps up and continues the conversation: 15 yards-UC. Since this was before the RFP, we moved the LOS 30 yards upfield and set the cahins, 1st & 10 from B's 37.

Then the other coach wants an explaination, he had no TOs left. Of course he did not win the discussion. He was charged with a delay of game. Move the ball to B's 32, 1st & 5. Well, you know what happens next; he goes into a tirade about us costing him the game because of the stupid rules, and this crew is the most #&@)_&_& crew he has ever seen. Curses out the REF: 15 yards-UC. Move the ball to B's 17, 1st & 10. B jumps OS, move the ball to the 12, 1st & 5.

The home team scored again to win the game. 22 points scored between both teams in the final 4 minutes of the game. It was reassuring to know that we had an escort from the stadium.

Ain't Friday nights great?
