An official time out to allow for a water break is not only for the benefit of the players.

An official's timeout for water is for the sake of the players?

Worst cold weather was a beautiful night in October. About 60 and we were in short sleeves. A front blows in midway through the 2nd quarter - winds of 40 mph, temp drops to about 40 and then we get hit by a downpour that actually hurt! Luckily, we all brought long sleeve shirts (crew rule) so we could change at halftime.

But hot weather is always worse than cold.

My first year it rained and rained. I was working a Frosh game they had moved to the practice field to save the V field, so we had a field with almost no grass. By halftime between the hashes from 20 to 20 was water. We needed a lifeguard after some fumbles and there were several. My knickers were blacker than the black stripes on my shirt.

Who's working tomorrow's game and what will they be wearing in the 4 degree weather at Lambeau?

I walked about a half-mile in Madison tonight (-9 degrees F, -21 wind chill) and I couldn't imagine being out for 90 minutes without any warmth. So hopefully they wear the kitchen sink under those black pants.
