Methinks we'll see more of Mr. Green this season. Does that mean that Johnny Grier is out? Perhaps Scott will go back to his deep position.

ICAC, the Amsterdam Admirals defeated the Berlin Thunder 27-21, staging off a 2-minute 90-yard Berlin drive with a catchable pass to the EZ on the last play of the game.

Just a small correction: HL's last name is Mackie.

I heard Grier shut it down.

REPLY: To my friend from Norway...great job and congratulations!

Somebody should tell the folks at http://www.nfleurope.com/scores/stat..._ams_ber_stats ;)

Isn't he the grand poobah for a Pacific NCAA conference? I bet he is still doing that job.

Einar Bolstad? That name sounds familiar!!! :D

Congrats!!

Please T, do tell...

I wonder if he is spending too much time endorsing the Wrist Counter now? Couldn't fit the NFL into his busy schedule.

I'm kinda wondering why someone would spend 20 bucks on that thing.

I'm wondering what the previous down thing is. If its 3rd down then the previous down is 2nd.....eh who knows.

Handy for those who only have three fingers on each hand and have nowhere to put the rubber band when it is fourth down. :)

Oh...wouldn't be a problem in Canada.

REPLY: Grier is the Supervisor of Officials (a.k.a. "Grand Poobah") for the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC)

Einar posts here and on McGriff occasionally.

Previous down could have been 3rd down and they are then awarded a 1st down.

I got that, but why do you need to know that?

I think it is just a check for ourselves. Being aware of what the last down was may help keep an official's head in the game or help a confused coach who forgot a team got a 1st down.

Maybe they previous down was 3rd and a penalty was enforced and a 1st down was awarded. Then a coach discusses with the R about the rule and it is determined that the penalty is not an automatic 1st down. The previous down will now need to be known.

Won't that just be the best 20 bucks you ever spent?!?

Wouldn't that require the coach to know the rules????????
