Where Murph is coming from, there are a good number of good 3rd or even 4th year guys not on crews. And some decent 5th year guys too. It's almost unheard of for a 2nd year guy to be on a crew in Texas. Work varsity games? Yes, if you're really good and really connected... but as a fill in, not as part of a crew.

Makes me want to move to Kansas!

Well if you come to Kansas to get on a crew immediately there are many areas you would want to avoid. However 10 years experience and knowing the right person will get you on a crew anywhere. Many parts of the state will put a first-year guy on a crew without blinking an eye because there is a big lack of officials in those areas.
