For you young officials - Bring your bag with you to games you watch if you can, as ya never know!

Not gonna take a bag, that's like begging. The visiting scorekeeper asked after we were done, "What do you do, take your uniform everywhere you go?"
I pointed, "No, I live about a mile that way, a fact that did not really need to be broadcast to everyone who didn't already know it beforehand."

Nah, not at all. You're not asking but you're ready if asked.

Our supervisor requests that we always have a bag in the car. I've picked up two last minute assignments this year, that I would not have gotten, had I not been equipped when he called.

Agreed. I'm not taking it in with me, but it's in the car.

Sheesh - of course when I said "bring his stuff to a playoff game" - I meant in the car!

Most everyone knew what you meant.

Showed up to watch my daughter cheerlead for local junior high. 2nd official had not shown. AD comes up to me and asks if I could ref. I said I need 10 min. as my stuff was in the car (from previous day). He said that was fine and started writing up contract. 2nd official showed up with 1:00 minute on pregame clock. I was ready but ended up not being needed.

Looks like a sub was needed in Blacksburg VA Saturday when VTech played Wake Forest. Roger Ayers and Bryan Kersey hadda two man it the 2nd half after Jamie Luckee couldn't continue with some sort of leg problem. From what I saw they did a very good job in a close game.
