Rut is just twisting things again.

How am I twisting things? It is not unusual for my crew to measure that many times. That is not an exaggeration. Of course there are games where there are not many measurements either. But even with a lot of turf fields, many of them are not turf or well marked. And that is what causes the issues or the complaints if you do not measure or when you think the outcome is obvious we are surprised how close, that is why we measure. Turf fields are only the rage in the last 4 or 5 years at best. There have been schools that had turf longer, but we do not all work at that one or two schools that got them early.

I love how once again if someone does not do something that others do, somehow people cannot deal with that fact. Once again, my crew is just fine with our philosophy and for a long time I was the youngest on the crew and was not telling guys that had been through their fires what I wanted to do.

I get it now. It was one of those phrases I was, apparently, putting through a Jar Jar Binks filter.

Well, you took a few people saying they thought something was unusual and expanded that into saying it bothered people. I don't think it bothered anyone... it just seems very unusual.

Well it seems to bother them. Why is anyone commenting on why we measure and putting it to their crew if they feel something is not wrong. Rich made a comment, "The wings are letting you down...." Really they are letting us down because we have no problem doing our job?
