I apologize in advance for the following obnoxious and condescending post:

Up to 10 varsity games? In the same area? Wow.

(Just checked - there are 27 varsity PLAYOFF games being played in the area serviced by my Official's Association this weekend --- this is down dramatically from the 70 or so officiated by our association on a normal week (and attended by 10-15K))

The comment about "Why don't they talk more about football outside of Texas" reminded my of my aunt complaining that no one talked about Oklahoma Women's basketball 25 years ago. When I reminded her that they don't play REAL basketball, and made up their own rules that were different from the rules that most people know, she still didn't understand why that would matter.

Use Real Rules, and you can call it Real Football.

(Rant off, and yet another apology - it came out even more obnoxious and condescending than I thought it would).
