51 people in our first class tonight. I'm guessing there won't be a shortage of football officials in Illinois much longer if that keeps up.

Should be interesting. I'm looking forward to it.

I added lacrosse as a second sport almost 10 years ago. It was great. Like football, it's completely different from basketball. It's outdoors, it's very demanding physically, but the judgment part is a lot easier than basketball.

I gave it up b/c it was too much time away from my family right after basketball season; but I still miss it. It was great.
