Stripes

I just love football.
I always have.
It's something that I grew up with...my dad watching BYU football.
I went to the games when I was in high school.
I LOVE going to BYU football games.
My favorite is when you get the fly-by from the Air Force...
and also the HAKA...(if that's how you spell it?)
The thing that I don't really enjoy, is when you have the really obnoxious fans
that sit and yell at the officials.
I don't think it's obnoxious that they yell at the officials,
I think it's obnoxious that they yell, from row 29 in section XX, which is the top of the stadium.
Really, who can hear that?
And actually, I do think it's obnoxious, that they yell at the officials.
"Call it both ways, ref"
"Hey, stripes, can't you see that?!?"
"Are you kidding me?!"
Those are the best.
My husband is a football official.
He studies the rules, knows them in and out.
We watch football games and he tells me the penalites before they announce what they are.
He's good at what he does.
He was 2nd in the state in his position.
Because of that, he got to officiate at the High School state finals.
He was on the Timpview vs. Springville game.
I was able to go and watch....and hang out with the other officials.
Which you don't see many wives doing...
But it was fun, and I enjoyed it.
I support my husband and his officiating dreams...
because it is something he enjoys doing.
And also, he brings home some good moola!

Good job honey!

Yes, it was at the University of Utah.
And that will be the ONLY time you will ever catch me there...
EVER!

I agree with you! You should have heard some of the fans sitting by us at the BYU game on Sat. Obnoxious!!! BUT...what exactly is "intent to deceive"?? I was puzzled with them on that call and a few others. Wished that Brian had been there to officiate, he would have got it right! :)

Great pictures of Brian in stripes!
Heartbreaking for Springville but I won't blame it on the refs!

KC - welcome to the U!! Go Utes!!

I didn't realize that Brian was a ref - that is pretty cool! Now it makes me want to be nicer to them....not that I yell at them, but my husband does! He's probably one of those obnoxious (but cute) ones! I'm sure Brian loves that job!
