Jack,
I take my job very seriously. I don't think you have to be a member here for a certain amount of time before you can make comments here. Do you? I don't think you would say that if my name was Hightower or Valentine would you? I've been officiating for 7 years. That does matter. I think I'm a good official with a good grasp of the entire game. That is important too! I do varsity so I think I can bring some credibility to these discussions. One thing I do pride myself on is my ability to understand the game and being a good ref. I'm from the school of thought that a good way to "rack and stack" officials is to get on the floor and get at it. No drinks at the bar or coming over for dinner, just call the game! I do know, however how the world works so the politics will remain. I think if you knew me you probably wouldn't have any problems working a game with me and I wouldn't even try to judge you or your skills from what I know about you over the internet.
