I think that's easy when it's freezing out and the mucous isn't hanging.

Dude: he's Canadian. He's not going to see a contrast class.

Aren't the electric game clock and the play clock electronic communication devices?

Yes. Are they "coaches' field equipment?"

This ain't nuthin'. I don't suppose anyone reading here would be old enough to have officiated when all coaching from the sideline was ostensibly illegal.

If anyone on this board was around back then, he would remember red flags instead of yellow ones, and flags in the end zone instead of pylons, and...oh yeah, the goal posts on the goal line instead of the end line. Yes, a little history freak here.

...and no stripes on the socks and the wings "punching in" the TD and 4-man or 3-man crews and down boxes that were really boxes with a number on each of the 4 sides. I remember the goal posts on the GL for NFL but not FED ball. Maybe I am not old enough.

I contend that red flags would be better on dry fields late in the fall for afternoon games.
