Sorry but these guys don't look to professional. Wind pants, Belts, White Sneakers? Can somebody put up a link?
Remember we have a person here that defends the belt wearing all the time. So should we be surprised? :D

Peace

I'm halfway expecting some of their officials to be wearing collared shirts.

In my opinion, it sounds like those in Louisiana are content with being paid chump change. 21 years without a pay raise is a joke.

In a LIMITED defense it appeared to be a Middle School Girls game, the one officials shoes were black but not the soles (SHARPIE anyone?) Clips on the boys side the officials looked pretty professionally dressed to me.
And what HS has SUITES for their games? And they are *****ing about a pay raise!! :eek:

Hard to believe I lived there 14 years ago and got what these guys are getting now. That's almost a generation ago.

And as long as the LHSAA continues to find enough officials willing to travel 300 miles to cover a game for $36 each, the officials will never get a pay raise. Why should the LHSAA raise game fees?

Sorta like, as long as officials are willing to go ball side in a 2 person game, the officials will never get a 3rd. Why should the ADs add a 3rd?

I don't think the two are even marginally related.

The Blue Dress
SUV's
Vanilla Ice Milli Vanilli and MC Hammer were punch lines
Grunge

The suites are in the Superdome, which was where the interview was taped with Ken Trahan, who is the general manager of the Saints Hall of Fame Museum. Trahan was identified as a "sports historian."

Not even by any interpretation of the conversation......

One has absolutely nuthin' to do with the other.

Nope. Anyone that would intentionally work under his best ability just to prove a point (hire a third and you'll get that coverage) is not someone I want to take the floor with.

That's simply nonsensical imo.

The soles and the rubber part on the bottom on the side (I guess those are the soles too) were both white.

And trouble headed up the line. "We have always worn white tee shirts under our dark uniforms. Nobody ever said we couldn't."
