Also, taping or Tivo-ing college ball, and then replaying, is a great learning tool for officials and coaches.

Yes, spend the money and get them. Giving someone a rules book is fine and good but until they see the situation it is generally not all that clear. (Whew!) Also spend the money on casebooks. Again something that gives substance to the dry words.


I am not to hot on the idea of a rookie taping a college game. As we have seen on this board, there is a different mindset in college. Also NEVER tape the sound of the program because of the bad calls by the announcers.
