    Hilltoppers 49 Morris 7 3:41 Q4 nm

    Morris announcers crying about the all-Catholic school Final Four in 5A. Boo-hoo.

    My mistake. It looked like they marked off a personal foul penalty after the play was over.

    The penalty on that punt return was stupid. Lucky they are up by four scores. This is a dumb JCA team. They may be winning handily, but I can't believe how undisciplined they are.

    JCA stupid penalties are going to cost them this game, and I'm saying this with JCA up 14-0. If they don't clean it up they are done.

    Morris 39 - SHG 36. FINAL

    Horrible officiating in this game. Obvious pass interference by Morris on an SHG receiver. No call. These guys are supposed to be the best of the best. Can't miss the obvious ones.

    Ref Staffing Issues

    So you favor officials yelling at fans and telling them to shut up. That's just as insane. You have no idea who you are confronting. That person might meet you in the parking lot and shut you up. For good.

    Ref Staffing Issues

    OK. So is telling someone you don't know to shut up. In today's day and age that can get your dumb *** killed. So go try it sometime.

    Ref Staffing Issues

    Are you talking about telling the parents to shut up or the coaches? The problem with telling parents to shut up is you might get that one guy who doesn't take to kindly to that and confronts you about that either on the field or afterward in the parking lot. Some of these crazies have been...

    Reed Custer 27 Byron 32 final

    As someone who has no skin in this game, I have to say the officiating at the end of the game cost Reed Custer big time. A holding call that should have been made by the linesman because it was right in front of him was made by the back judge on the other side of the field. Obviously, the...

    Referee shortage nationwide and some of the reasons why

    As someone who just recently began his officiating career, I understand this totally. It happens more at the youth games than in high school, but I've heard my fair share of abuse from coaches and players on the high school sideline as well. I make mistakes. I miss calls. I admit it. We all do...

    Prayers

    I'm tired of prayers and venting on a football board. How about doing something about this instead of just wringing your freaking hands about it. Put a call into the governor's office and tell your friends and family to do the same and tell him enough is enough with the restrictions on high...

    Fitzgerald and the NFL

    I hope you're wrong. I hope he does leave NU, but for this reason. Fitz should want the challenge of winning at the highest level of football. If someone offers him a chance, I hope he takes it and is successful. As a coach, he should welcome the opportunity to perform at another level. He...

    Insurance Question

    I believe they could. A school would certainly use guidelines established by organizations like CDC, etc. They also can lean on the best practices being used and/or suggested by NFHS and the schools that are playing basketball and football now or basketball in the near future. Remember, there is...
