BTW, the lady officials are always clean shaven, at least the facial hair...

We have 52 officials in our board. I believe 1 had a beard, he has had 3 varsity assignments this year, he is a 16th year official. We had one other ( retired 3 years ago ) and his assignments we good, but that is rare.

Dude, you were Adkins before Adkins was cool. Way to go! No way I could go 30 years without bread.

You're confused, Beard was the soft rock group in the 70's

Was it a baguette or a biscuit?

I go clean-shaven...even if it means I sometimes get mistaken for a player instead of an official (and it's happened before).

I feel ya there... I go clean shaven before every game, and last night at my NCAAW-DII game I got asked if I was still in HS! It was a serious question too!
