Good game, where are the good refs

Oh ... forgot one more - twice they gave the ball to the return team at the wrong spot when it was touched by K at 2 different places. Both times they gave it at the first touch, but in both cases the ball was not possessed and moved 2-3 yards toward K's EZ before being touched again - the spot in both cases should have been the 2nd touching spot (which also included possession by K in both cases).

Hey, first touching is FIRST touching! Ha.

I'll let the shirt thing go. Could have been a replacement. Although, the crew should have been prepared for this. Last year, my crew carried a pair of knickers just in case even though we wore pants all year long. If something happened late enough to not get everyone informed, and the replacement only had knickers, we were prepared.

Your're saying the ball was (for example) illegally touched at the B-5 and then bounced back to the B-10 where it was illegally touched again. After the ball became dead they put it back at the B-5?

This is what happens when you let coaches draft the crews. It's quite likely that the coach for this game had last pick on this week and had to take the crew that hadn't been picked. Perhaps this was the least experienced crew available to pick.

Yes, exactly. TWICE.

Placards at the HS level? Really?

Yes sir, this is Texas after all... (Honestly, I see these about a third of the time around here.)

Yup approved this year in Texas. A lot of crews around here seem to have gone to them. I really don't see the point.

Next they'll be wearing wide stripes.

I'm sure it's being discussed. Looks like we are going to the 40 second clock next year.
