Besides, in our pre-game meeting with each team's captain(s) we let them know what color they will be called. If they want to be called something else due to school pride regarding their colors... who cares? Just do it.

My job as an official is not predicated on what they like. And I stated clearly why earlier why I do not say two or three syllable words. I also said never had anyone care what we called them that deep. And if they cannot understand my reasoning, oh well, their life will go on.

Peace
