Nah, I went to Army v. Navy in Philly. If I had stayed as Line Judge (instead of moving to Referee 3 years ago) I would have been in the final that was played immediately prior to yours in Giants Stadium. My prior crew had the N1G2 at 1:30
We were shut out this season due to logistics. The state assigns the semis and the finals as you know and our local chapter assigns the quarterfinals. We did not get a quarter because our exec board put my crew in for a semi. Then, after the quarters were over the state came back and told our exec board they needed to trim the semi entrants by one crew. Since I had the youngest out of the 7 crews that we were allotted for the semis we were low man on the totem pole according to my president. He said the same exact thing happened to his own crew 5 years ago so I believe what he's telling me.
My confidence was in the toilet prior to getting an explanation. Now that I got one we feel "ok, bleeps happens" and just continue to work hard as we usually do.
