And among other things that the conveners alerted/warned us about was that, and this was verbatim: "Officials please be aware that many people/fans are videotaping/recording your games with their cell phones and are anxious to have video of you acting unprofessionally. I [one of the conveners said] at times will get a video from a parent / fan of a game and they want to discuss with me your actions. Please be professional and be careful about what you do in the parking lot--and I'll leave it at that."

Absolutely not. We wait till we hit the road outside the parking lot to open up the cooler.

Back when I started officiating in the late 1980s, the length of a road trip was measured in the number of six packs you'd get for the ride home.

Thankfully, those days are long over.

Still people that feel that way. I am not one of them, but I know people that insist on doing just that.

Cooler? When I was where you are now, we used the snow bank as our cooler. I remember doing some digging when I couldn't remember exactly where we buried the treasure.
