Our biggest problem, though, is always during the football camps. The local university has our association officiate their scrimmages at the end of the camp. At the end of a week working with college coaches and graduate assistants, they are all swearing like sailors. It takes a few rags at the beginning of the scrimmage to calm them down, but they get back on track. (The college coaches, however, love to hound us for that.)

We tossed one at the scrimmage on Saturday. I believe his quote was, "Come on, Ref, what's your F'ing problem. God F'ing Dammit" Bye bye ... 15 enforced on the try, which they subsequently missed.
