I was getting my equipment ready earlier today and while cleaning my hats, I got to thinking about what Mike said earlier in the year about ASA putting the flag on the side.

Mike, I know you have a good understanding of flag protocol, but how are you going to deal with the 2003 requirement? Did you talk Merle into changing the guideline?(grin)

This is something too politically correct to have changed. Although they are not required until 2003, we were required to wear them for the Interservice (Military) NCs in Pensacola, FL.

So, I now have 5 hats with the flags which will be exclusively used for Championship Play and another half dozen which I will use locally.

I still don't like it, but don't expect people to understand why.
