Badbird, you WILL be excited for all of the State Championship games over the next two weeks. I expect and demand nothing less!

CCC called a timeout with 15 seconds left. That is why Chaminade Madonna scored the final touchdown. The Education of Dan in Daytona continues, we await the next game.

One team will definitely perform very well in this game. I am very confident of that.

It is a good thing that breaking hearts is not a crime. Otherwise, I might have had to retain the services of a very good to great legal representative. Clarence Darrow, Johnnie Cochran, and F. Lee Bailey are no longer with us, but I would need a legal mind of that caliber for sure.

You know something Dan, for all of the education and lessons that I have provided you over the years, you should be thanking me! It has been a honor and privilege for you to be able to speak with me during this time, and I suppose that that big ego of yours and blue and gold Buccaneer pride won't let you admit what we both know is true. No woman has ever committed a foul with me, but I have been known to have been penalized for non-contact with many ladies after they have had the greatest night of their lives, and they realize that once you go black and white, you never go solid shirt again!

That is not a double foul, that would be considered multiple dead-bowl fouls. A double foul is a live-ball foul on each time during a down.

I am not old enough to be your dad, but if I was, rest assured, you would be developing a much better attitude than what you have displayed on the message board. I will forgive you for now, but you need to be more careful in the future.

No matter how many classes of football that there are, we are still talking about High School Football. If anything, it should be interesting for the young men (and women) who are the players. I expected a lot more out of you badbird, and I am very disappointed.

I didn't know the story, but I remember the game very well.

You are forgiven this time, but don't let it happen again Ray. I am also going to forgive you for not answering my questions this time. Rest assured though, next time that I ask you a question regarding officiating, or anything else, I will not only expect an answer, I will demand one! Do you understand, and have I made myself clear?

Hey Darter, if the football gods align, we may yet see another classic Blue Darter/Explorer state match. Best of luck against PBC next week, and hope to see you the week after if you make the trip down south. Hopefully, the scoreboard won't malfunction in the fourth quarter if Columbus plays Apopka like the last time in 2019 in Daytona Beach.

I have a long way to go for that Dan. As a senior citizen, I expect you to be more "mature", set an example for the young whippersnappers, and not use foul language.

It that is the case, the flags are about 3 weeks too late.

Red flags? I didn't know that there were replay challenges in Florida High School Football.

The football was in player possession in the opponent's end zone. That is a touchdown. I believe that Clarence Darrow, F. Lee Bailey, and Perry Mason would agree.

Perspective, the mechanic used by the line judge on that play was the absolutely the correct one. Speed and making an immediate decision and signal are not important or imperative when an official has a critical call to make such as that play. It is more important or imperative that the official has the right outcome, which in that case was clearly a touchdown.

Perspective, I really wouldn't be able to answer that without seeing the play myself. Thank you.

Now that that has been established, what problems/issues did you have with the officiating in the game Ray?

When you, or anyone, bashes, critiques, or criticizes the officials or officiating of a High School Football Game on this message board, I am going to expect and demand answers to my questions, and that is how it is going to be. Do you understand, and have I made myself clear?

Why not? Are you scared of my questions?

Any taxpayer in Osceola can claim some "ownership" of public property in that county. I should start charging you for the lessons that I have taught you on this message board, but I am too nice a man. The privilege is all yours. You're welcome once again Ray. By the way, the Kowboys always have a great spread of food at halftime even if that has be shared with the booster club.

I think I know who you are talking about with the man refusing to use email. If you are not getting some of the answers or solutions that you are looking for, your school should consider your options. Geographically, you have an advantage in that aspect.

Since Kissimmee Osceola is a public school, it is not YOUR GYM, the gym belongs to the taxpayers. I never get tired of teaching you lessons Ray, this time in Civics. You're welcome as usual.

How are you approaching the leadership of your Officials Association?

My suggestion to Beek is to request a face-to-face meeting with the assigner and supervisor of the Officials Association that his school uses. If he is "blown off" as he claims, by the way the ghosts of Clarence Darrow and F. Lee Bailey know that "blown off" is a fairly loose term and everyone has a different interpretation of what that would mean, he should get together with his Athletic Director and consider their options regarding officials for their home games. Possibly contacting another Officials Association when the current contract expires.
