Guess it's about time to kick the season off. After three years of basketball this will be my first in football, and I have no clue of what I am doing. Yes, I have studied the rule book, officials manual, case book, and the cartoon book. I am working with an experienced crew and that should help a bunch. My white hat has told me that I will start at umpire and will work there in the scrimmage's and JV games, and probably will work linesman during the Junior High contests because he has another new guy on that crew "who is even greener than I am". His words, as I do not see how he can be any greener than me. Any practical words of advice as to keys and what to watch as the umpire?
