Televised Game/Blatant Hype For Our Guys
 

high school game tonight on ESPNU (check your local listings): Poway vs Torrey Pines.
the officials for the game will be:


some of the very best of the San Diego section will be working the game. Good luck guys.

I got blasted by members of my assoc about 2 years ago for making exactly this post about a Texas crew on national TV. Might want to check and see if they mind having their names out there...

never thought of that, but since you've "quoted" me, I think my edit won't make a dif, but I'll try anyway.

He's swift. I'm sure he'll come by and remove the quoted text. :)

I'm sure he will too. :)

I'll have to take back a couple of the bad things I thought about you now. Just a couple:)

There was a lot of controversy about last week's game - Parkway North vs. Parkway West. After ESPN announced that the game would be televised, the local association changed the crew. A lot of hard feelings about that decision obviously.

Not to knock on the east side of the state, but I'm surprised there wasn't a KC game instead of a St. Louis game. Blue Springs South vs. Rockhurst comes to mind. St Louis is a bigger market, true, but we know that traditionally the west side of the state has more state champions! :D

That doesn't surprise me about changing crews. Ethical? No way. If they're good enough to work the game at first, why not after they found out the game was on TV? Not cool.

Too bad Torrey Pines is not the Torrey Pines of old.

No changing of crews on this game.

Major bad on that local. :mad:

Yes, this local does a lot of major bads. Worst I've been a part of in 3 states.

Changing the crew because it was going to be televised ??
WOW !

Is "telegenic" part of the evaluation form? ;)

Blaine Gabbert is neither a Jaguar or a Hawklett.

It's amazing that one guy is the reason the game is televised as opposed to a great matchup with the winner the potential state champ.

The ESPNU game this year from Kansas was because of three players. The QB from Dodge City has committed to Arkansas. The senior linebacker and his brother the junior running back from East are still school hunting though both will be I-A players. Neither team is great. Both are good though Dodge City probably won't make the playoffs as their stud QB didn't even play in the ESPNU game as he was hurt in the first game of the season. East was thought to be pretty good but now have lost twice and if they lose a third they won't make the playoffs either.
