Worked a scrimmage tonight -- actually a clinic. First on field time as an official for a tackle game. Did line judge for a while, then went over and got in the group working R.
So, a few plays into it, we had a fumble in the backfield. We were wearing shorts (and I don't have the right ones) and my bean bag is in my pocket, so I go looking for it. A half hour (it seemed; actually 3 seconds) later I find it and frisbee it from where I'm standing (starting point for an R) to where I had the ball come out. I guess I had gotten a little too excited and the bean bag (vinyl) goes beyond the LOS.
Moral:
1. Practice your tosses.
2. The vinyl ones might not be best for field turf.
3. Don't throw your bag more than a few yards.
I'm open to other morals as well.
