I'm also kind of going through those first game excitement issues. I have 2 pretty big matchups (at least they look big to me on paper, good teams, rivals and all) this weekend on Friday and Saturday, both in a very good 4A conference. Friday night I'm with a couple of very experienced, very respected, and just downright very good officials. Saturday night I'm with one of my regular partners and another official that I've heard good things about. Last night I had a terrible Varsity blowout and it was hard to stay in that game. I found myself thinking ahead at times. I still managed to call way too many fouls in the game I was working though.
