Wow!! Why would you have the home team side be responsible for both sets of footballs? Seems that I would tend to forget about the visiting team and their no-huddle offense. That would provide a great advantage. But this goes to what I have been talking about for years.....why is it necessary to have two sets of footballs. How about home team supplies the footballs....there is one that stays in the field and the ball boys stationed at both ends of the field can feed us additional ones when needed. Im sure the U's would enjoy that since that would never half to yell about getting a guy with a big number to bring a ball. And while Im on a rant...that would eliminate those baloon footballs that they try to sneak in and kick. Lastly, Red Cashion, the retired NFL R always said that we work for the coaches and the game. How is dictating what a crew will and won't do--doing anything but creating a tense atmosphere before the national anthem.
