I have had this happen to me also. This is really one of the bad things about officiating.

No chance there, Carnac, no chance. Hilary has got the same chance of getting to be President as France has of invading Germany. No way, no how. Nada. Nyet. Nuh-huh!

Can you see her with her finger on the button deciding whether to nuke a few red states or not, and her all-wimmin advisory committee is saying "Just go with the flow, hon."?

Think we made Juulie's head explode yet?

Tomegun, you having been from the DC metro area, You must know first hand the politics of officiating especially in Northern VA. It's not what you know , it's who you know... 1st year official had a semi final regional game last night, while 12 of us vets were watching him do the game.. I mean we had D1/2/3 officials sitting from the same association. It got ugly with the pot shot that were being thrown... Sad!!

Is it possible that the people that were sitting were not as qualified?

One of the biggest pieces of advice that I received and continue to remind myself of constantly is "that if you can work you will". Otherwise you will drive yourself nuts wondering WTF!

You looking forward to spending the rest of your life in a cell with Barak Obama?

When Hillary's president, I hope I can go ther too.

I got a problem with this one. A D1/D2 official worrying about a regional semi-final HS game. WTF!!!! If you are a DI official, you should be chasing college assignments. I'm sure you should be able to find some college work somewhere on the east coast and not have to sweat a HS game.

No doubt I would be disappointed that a 1st year official is working such a playoff game. The question that comes up is did this person come in with high credentials from let's say another state. In other words he/she has already worked state playoff games but from a different region. This is okay to me but college officials who barely worked any HS games during the regular season working the state HS playoff games is wrong, imo.
