FTR, many of us feel the same way about Illinois.

FTR, and your point is what? At least Illinois has a great city. You have places called "Mistake by the lake." And considering all the people I know that have been there, they agree.

Peace

Enough, already. All of you. The mechanics a state works in HS football have nothing to do with being in and living in the state itself.

Yes and I was having fun. I will always talk about Ohio, after all I was born just north of there. And the fact that they have mechanics that are absolutely silly is even one more reason not to be there.

Keep this up and MTD will post another tOSU video.

Carrying a rule book to the field wouldn't bother me, but putting the onus on the officials to prove a ruling is completely ridiculous. It must be really bad in OH for the guy in charge to make this the way things are done.

You realize Michigan just beat them without them cheating. Bring that on!!!

And bringing a rulebook out is stupid on so many levels. There is a reason that no major sport advocates this practice (heck I cannot think of any sport for that matter but I do not work sports like Lacrosse and Rugby) and why any state would even ask anyone to do that is absurd. And the fact that any onus would be on anyone is even sillier if that is going to be the requirement. All you are doing is opening up for constant debate. It is not always quick to look up something in the rulebook or casebook and a reference often is found in some obscure place. Since they want to be silly, they should require "Rules by Topic" book. At least the rules and the case plays are in the same place.

Peace

I can only imagine the havoc in Ohio junior high games, where you have coaches that barely know half the rules and learned the other two thirds on TV (math failed on purpose)... combined occasionally with newbie linesmen or referees just learning the craft. This could get ugly AND protracted.

I'm not Rich but I'll say this, one of our goals as moderators and admins is to reduce the amount of off topic posts in threads. There's no need for threads to go off into the weeds like they are wont to do on this forum.
