  1. My experience with LaSalle is they will have whatever the need.
  2. This was change a few years back, for this specific reason. The thought process was A is already playing short and now you’re going to penalize them for it as well. Must have five 50-79 and no more than four in the backfield.
  3. It’s been many years ago, in the tournament we had a pretty good team against a first year program. The score was a lot to none. I believe it was Florida State who ran this play the Saturday before and it made all the highlight reels, ESPN plays of the day etc. So first year program scores a TD late and they run this play on the PAT to perfection! It had to be the only thing they worked on all week. As soon as the holder pitched the ball to the ball carrier, I blew the whistle. New program coach looses his s****. I explained to him why it was dead and went on to tell him, “do you remember before the game when I asked you if you had any unusual plays we should be aware of? That would have been a good time to tell me about this.”
  4. So he’s got that going for him.
  5. Int’s I start heading that way immediately. Blocked FG……are inadvertent whistles really that bad? 😅
  6. We tend to take PAT/FG’s for granted. A lot of stuff has to happen correctly in a very short period of time. There’s just a lot of moving parts. Then add in the fact the kicker is trying to get a little extra leg into it.
  7. It would seem you answered your own question.
  8. It should be noted historically since they joined the HHC, Seymour has not played well against NA. I think before anyone starts anointing them, might wanna wait till after that game.
  9. Are East and Seymour currently tied?
  10. I haven’t really worked many lower level games since 2018. I have worked quite a few this year for a myriad of reasons. It’s been pretty chill honestly, until last night. I’ve never seen 52 points scored in a 7th grade game that I’m aware of. No problems. 8th grade game was a train wreck. A few too many 16 year old 8th graders, a couple of idiot coaches, a 28-0 game, and we’re off to the races. The 28 team, kid on the chains told me “yea he’s really good, he practiced with us (varsity) all summer, he was our best RB.” Throw in two of the four officials hired showed up, and 3 hours later… I’m in Friday mode….good luck to all the stripes tonight, stay safe and be the best team on the field.
  11. Mooresville at Plainfield 1989. I can tell you EVERYTHING about it. Conversely I couldn’t tell you what I was doing five minutes ago.
  12. I would much rather have a play with no whistle than an inadvertent whistle. When you have one there’s not a hole deep enough to crawl in. Plus it’s going to hit you in the pocketbook after the game.
  13. I find this very hard to believe. I think it is much more likely he was ejected and no report was filed.
  14. See leather. The ball becoming dead causes the ball to become dead, not the whistle.
  15. Looking forward to it coach, but it’ll be a couple years before I make my way back to FC. It might be next year, but I think it’s 24. I’ll be wearing a striped shirt with a white hat. I’m never hard to find either.
  16. Bob I understand what you’re saying but honestly have you been around MS football lately?
  17. I disagree no book will prevent foolishness on Thursday night.
  18. Stevie Nicks is such a badass she wrote an entire album about how her ex sucked, then made her ex play the music and sing about it.
  19. The bottom line is neither R’s or D’s want them here, one’s honest about it and one’s not. The real issue as I see it is contrary to popular belief, these aren’t just poor Mexicans fleeing their homeland for a better life, these people are from all over the world.
  20. Kendall always treated me well and we continue to be friendly today. Not all of the conference coaches were as welcoming, but Kendall and I did have a bit of a relationship prior. I always said Kendall had the best coaching gig in the conference, Stevie took care of the pitchers and did all the off season stuff, Walker took care of the field, and Kendall showed up in March and looked like a hero. I told him after McIntosh graduated we’ll find out next year how good of a coach you are, and he re-retired. Good for him, he’s living his dream. Speaking of athletes Lisa McIntosh was a FREAK! She may not have been the best HS player I ever saw, but she’s certainly in the conversation. Good kid, good family, people you just root for.
  21. Kendall had a hell of a run in SB, local boy, and honestly when he came back from retirement he was the only person that could have held that team together. A final four team with some tremendous talent.
  22. Every PAT WH whistle. Every FG BJ whistle is over the radio, usually twice.
  23. Somebody’s buying a round of double shots!
  24. Nevermind.
