Worked with Methuselah
So I had a frosh game last night, and Methuselah demanded to be the R (and wore his white hat, too, which we don't do around here in sub-varsity games). Fine, I'll work wherever. I ended up as U, which I will do only when the players' average weight is less than 175!.
Guy moved pretty well for being 900 years old. He did want to make a sideline INT a spot foul after a long run, but we fixed that. Me: "Methuselah! METHUSELAH! That's succeeding spot enforcement for a non-player foul!" Him: "Oh that's right, it's a dead-ball foul." — That, I didn't fix. |

My self-image as a pedant is not in jeopardy, so I will just remark that I had to say something to him to explain why I was not going 20 yards upfield to enforce the penalty from the spot of the wing's flag. He kept pointing over there, you see...

Never understood that philosophy.

Not wearing the white hat if you're the referee in sub-varsity games. Quite frankly, I don't understand it either.

In SD recently a white hat passed away (off the field BTW) and the crew got special permission to have the replacement and the rest of the crew wear black hats in the remaining games as a tribute. Kinda nice. |

Who do you think you're talking to?
Oh wait, we don't know who this maven character is.
