3 pages

I can't believe that the color of flag ends and bean bags can generate 3 pages of discussion. I also can't believe that someone would not get a playoff assignment because of the same. But evidently some believe that it is important for all to have bean bags of the same color. If you have flags and bean bags and you know when and how to use them, you can work on my crew anytime regardless of color within limits. If you have hot pink then we might have to have a litlle talk about our next assignment.

There should be ONE uniform for a crew and the crew should have a uniform look to it. Any yellow showing looks sloppy! Neatness sells your crew and your calls, etc. That is MHO. Have a great day!

I agree that we need to look neat, but if you have a little yellow ball that doesn't mean you don't look neat. I do agree that we should all have the same bean bag. But if your flag is in your back pocket tucked deeply or the little ball is sticking out then I have no problem wtih that, looks neat to me.

Bernie Kukar is from the iron range in northern MN...so we have to cut him some slack. I think he's done alright for himself so far

Maybe we should worry more about our keys, mechanics/signals, and deadball officiating than on the color of our beanbags. Let's not lose focus of the important things

Going along with the if bean bags quantify three pages of discussion, I have a question... Do boxers or briefs make any difference to some of you on your crews?

And let's not get into the 'Going Commando' pros and cons either please...

I hope you are not trying to spark a serious conversation on undergarments.

It's exactly as useful as the conversation on "taping the flag," IMHO.

All I know is that if the boys need adjusting, its awful hard to be sly about it standing by yourself at the 50 yardline and 1000 people there looking at the field. It's not like you can yell, "Hey look- there's Elvis!".

Briefs and compression shorts keep everything tidy.

this is where we have stooped to

as starter of the thread I did want to point out that we have seen our evaluations "dinged" because we did not have our flags taped and i just wanted to see what every one felt
however that was recently change by the powers that be we do not have to tape now (still we cannot have alot of yellow showing which is fine by me i tuck deep!!!)

as far as the new topic about briefs. an older white hat told me about a story where his umpire on his old crew used to go commando until he split his pants spotting the ball and then every one spotted his.........

i laughed for 15 min

I get it - bulger.

Seriously, though folks -

Getting 'dinged' on an eval because flags aren't taped is picayune, small time crap.

SEC Officials

SEC Officials wear their flags hanging out of their pockets so the coaches can see them. It is supposed to send a message?

aboselli,
I agree--- BUT the guys doing the evaluation control all the best games and wether you get into the chapter that assigns the local college games

so that leads me to the question do i follow them or do i just keep bieng the best rules/mechanics/game guy i can be

(PS last year a guy on my crew got dinged for not throwing his flag High Enough on a foul where he needed a spot)
