Sad but true. Any analogies of jobs in the "real world" to officiating really don't hold water.

In the corporate world, performance is the only thing that matters. If I don't perform, I am axed. However, before that happens, there is not a notice sent to 1 million shareholders.

I can't imagine that employee morale stays up if 500,000 shareholders are told that Mr. John Doe from the Springfield, MO facility will be fired unless he meets the next quarterly goal.

JMHO.

Is this the same crew that also worked the Illinois/Michigan game?

No. I watched that game and it is not the same crew.

Comparing the box score from PSU/Perdue and Ill/O. St, only the umpire in the Ill/O. St game was not in the PSU/Perdue game.

Great to heard that. Good official, good man. I did not think that any of the questionable calls in the OSU/ILL game involved him.
