I, probably like most people, haven't logged into the Official's Center in a while. However, I did last night and saw the newest item read: "IHSA Officials Merchandise". Now, my first thought was: cool, they are going to offer uniforms, etc. However, it appears the items they are selling are for your pre-game dress. Anyone planning on getting any of these items? I think they look pretty sharp.

Hmmm...it must be pretty exciting - everyone's trying to access that page and it's overloading the system. I can't seem to get to it right now. I guess I'll have to wait a while to see how much I can improve my look.

I think it's a conspiracy - the powers that be never want their employees looking too good. Or, at least better than them.

Kind of hard to wear a tie with those golf shirts.

Well, I got into it with that link- no problemo.


Just a suggestion:
1)Go to local WalMart.
2)Buy a dark colored pullover and golf shirt, and a white Magic Marker.
3)Use white Magic Marker to write "IHSA" on shirt and pullover.
4)Take $20 saved/item and buy brownpop.

If you need any further instructions on what to do next, you haveta still be a rookie official.

There are people that wear a tie to games?

I admit that I dress a little more casually for a HS game, but I wear a tie to all my NCAA games.

Who wears a tie to their games in Illinois? I haven't ever worn a tie to a game (don't have to wear one to work, refuse to add one after that).

Besides, coaches think we'll choke on something anyway, no extra ammunition.

No wonder I couldn't get in at first - I don't know Spanish.

Of course, I can save even more by using some of the same crayons I use to write on my computer screen.

Chuck, I have worn a tie to some of my college games as well, but it's amazing how many people still go so casual as to warrant e-mails from supervisors specifying no jeans, t-shirts, warmup suits, etc. Maybe the next e-mail will have to deal with flip-flops?...

OK. I can accept and belive that. I was thinking about HS.
