They are in my games.....any night of the week. Lowly HS games, of course.

I jumped my own gun...the chains are probably being set down or moved. If it's goal line territory with 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th, and goal...there's only the box (officially called: down marker box) at that point...unless the offense has a chance to gain 1st down close to the end zone. Even our lower level coaches will be screaming for a call if it's evident the team wasn't set.
