Dan, when you call someone a "young man" you probably should narrow it down a little bit. Didn't you play against the 1935 teams that Longtime Observer mentioned in another thread?

This is a great article and find, Longtime Observer. Now, are you sure that you are not remembering this game from personal experience? (Wasn't this your Junior Year In High School?)

I blame you for not answering my question. (Of course, your answer probably wouldn't make any sense anyway.)

You are a member of the baby-boom generation, correct DarterBlue2? (I guess that I should not expect an answer since you are too good to talk to me, or answer my questions anymore.)

You're welcome. Goodnight.

No. B, the team on defense, cannot advance a recovered fumble on a try. As soon as team B secures possession on a try, the play ends. You're welcome.

Ray, on a free-kick (kickoff) that goes out-of-bounds untouched by the receiving team, the offended team has four options, 1. Take the ball 25 yards in advance of the kicking team's free-kick line 2. Take the ball 5 yards in advance of where the ball went out out-of-bounds 3. Take the ball on the yard line that the ball went out-of-bounds 4. Have K re-kick with a 5 yard penalty. On a foul by the offensive team on a running play, the basic spot for penalty enforcement is either the spot of the foul if the foul is beyond the line-of-scrimmage, or the line-of-scrimmage if the foul is behind or at the line-of-scrimmage.

That is what I thought!

Thank you for the compliments, cribboy305! Of course, I will call you out, or any other message board poster, who criticizes highs school football officiating, and you WILL answer my questions!

Dan, since you paid for the last Red Robin meal, maybe it will be my turn to pay at this great restaurant that you should eat at more often. In fact, you can bring your friend DarterBlue2, since he seems to be too scared to talk with me anymore.

Who are you to tell me anything?

DarterBlue2, if you have a problem with me and what I have to say, how about answering my questions, talking to me like a man instead of avoiding me, and making faces at my comments?

You don't tell me what to do. I asked a question, and I expect and demand an answer. Otherwise, there should be no comments about officiating on this message board.

What are you talking about?

Josh, I know that logic and reason is very much lost on most posters to this message board. This was a great explanation though, and while you justifiably can get frustrated with the whiners, complainers, and naysayers who are never happy with anything, you can always remember that you have a great and appreciative friend/poster in Jambun82. You're welcome, and thank you for all that you do!

What do kids deserve better?

I have been to Apopka High School once. It is a very nice school, not like West Orange, but then again that is the gold standard for schools in Orange County. I look forward to going back one day. Thank you for the very nice compliments DarterBlue2, and will you admit that Algebra is completely worthless?

Thank you for the clarification.

Algebra is completely worthless, correct?

Algebra is completely worthless, correct?

Oh all right. Nowhere near Clarksville or South Boston on the Virginia/North Carolina border.

I told this message board what would happen, and I was right as I usually am. This officiating crew was held accountable by being suspended, and the Cocoa AD and Head Coach were given the apology that they deserved. The Tigers were not allotted the victory that they earned and deserved, but this was the best outcome under the rules and the circumstances. I wish that the underlying problems and issues that a situation like this exposes into the open could be discussed, but it cannot be on this message board. Hopefully, this never happens again.

This a very interesting article.

I wouldn't find comfort in a Dictatorship spearheaded by anybody.

Well, you better find some kind of comfort because there is no chance of that rule and standard ever being changed.
