Working a varsity game tonight. About 45 degrees at kickoff and it didnt get any warmer. Well, it did start to rain like hell in the second quarter, which made it even more enjoyable. And it was homecoming -- all the convertibles with the homecoming court went to waste.
Actually, I didnt have a bad time tonight.
First drive of the game. Ball is on Bs 5 yard line. As QB rolls right and throws over the line to a receiver about 2 yards deep in the end zone. He catches the ball and everyone on my crew is screened. The receivers back is to the L, a group of players blocking on the line screened off the LJ, the U was (essentially) looking in the other direction and the BJ got a great view of the receivers back. I had the best view of the play, which WAS a catch.
I yell over to the L, Hes in! Its a catch! and he signals a touchdown.
After the point, the home coach is STILL running his mouth, saying that the ball hit the ground. He gets my attention and then yells at me that theyve reviewed the video upstairs and its clear we blew the call.
OK, now predict how this little scenario played out.
Went to a Hooters and then went to a party where we got free beer.
