Thanks MJT...that was just what I was looking for.

As for some of the questions...in Indiana, the association doesn't book the games for you. The crew chief has that task. I'm sort of nervous about the crew. Since I've had to move up to R, a newre fella is working LJ (this is his second game), and I think the U is not happy that I'm wearing the white hat tonight. I am confident that it will go okay.

I do have a signal mechanic question. I know that when giving th esignals, you face the press box, but when a play results in a first down, do you turn and indicate first down by extending your arm in front of you, or do you continue to face the press box and indicate first down to which ever side it happens to be (in the first case you'd only ever use your right arm, in the second, it would vary which arm you used based on the direction of the drive).

I'm almost embarased to ask this, but I'd like a general rule of thumb for telling an USC from a personal foul. I've looked back through the rule book, but I've not been able to condense wwhat I'm reading into something that I can keep handy for then the time comes.

Thanks again for all the help. I'll be sure to post how it went.
