I did a double header of youth games today and one guy in the crowd did everything he could to centre himself out. He then yelled out "[if I] had ever done this before." So I did a quick count between downs: it's possible that I'm up near 1,000 football games in my career.

Both of those are good words to use describing the first game.

This is my 8th season as an official, my 3rd as the referee on Firday night. This is the first season I have not gotten nervous before a game. Now I still get as excitted as I ever have...it's just that I think my abilities and confidence have finally gotten to the place where I know I can go out and work a good game. I'm no longer bothered by the nagging feeling of "what will I screw up tonight" but rather "what new thing will I get to see tonight". But then again, I'm the white hat and anyone will teel you that we have the easiest job ont he field, so I suppose I may not be the best person comment on this.

This is my seventh year, and fourth as a fulltime wing official on Fridays. I always get very excited and love every bit of Friday -- at work anticipating the game, driving there, picking me up a source of caffeine, dressing out, having pregame, walking the field, working the game, talking about it afterward, getting something to eat, watching area highlights. And at some point I get to sleep, but it takes a long time to get wired back down.
