Do you guys still get nervous on Fridays?
This is my 7th season and first as a regular varsity official. I have had 5 or 6 varsity games each of the last few years.
Do you guys still get nervous and pumped for Fridays? I do! It is Thursday night and I cannot wait to get to my Friday game. I love being on the field on Friday nights Thoughts?? Last edited by footballref; Fri Aug 27, 2010 at 05:57am. |

That is what I am saying.
I have talked to some college officials that went through our association and they all say that there is nothing like Friday nights. They all say that they miss Fridays. |

I get excited, but not nervous. Actually I get so focused that the game starts without me realizing for several plays.
Peace

Maybe nervous energy waiting for the kickoff after walking around the field for 35 minutes...but not a bad nervous going to toss my cookies feeling at all.

When I quit getting excited over a ballgame on Friday night, I will quit officiating! I love it! Sitting here right now waiting on 5:00 to get here! I agree with the other guys - it's a "good nervous." I'm not worried about blowing a call, or not being prepared, but I'm definitely pumped!

I look forward to it each week, even to JV's on Thursday. But to say nervous or butterflies, not really. I might be especially happy that I have a good match-up or dread having a certain sideline that is more taxing than another.
There are some times in the middle of the season that I begin to feel a little like a rock musician on the road- "its Wednesday I must be in Asheville". I do try to take a moment to hear the band drum cadence or look for the sun setting behind the trees or mountains before the game. |

Reminds me of the old joke about how sex is like pizza.
