Green,
Other than one or two lines on how much an official might make at a big game in Texas, what does this article have to do with what a referee makes (which is the topic of your thread)?
On a side note, I am getting tired of only reading about Texas football. It seems that no matter what site I go to there is some comment about TX football. While football may be big in TX, there is good football played all over the country. How about some perspective of how football if viewed in other states. I know that in the Eastern part of Iowa and Western Illinois (Quad City region), we will have thousand in attendance at one football game. The main reason that we don't get 10,000+ is because on any given Friday, we will have upto 10 varsity games being played at the same time. We are fortunate enough that every school in the area has a good team.
