SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Fight Hunger Bowl will make history with two female officials this year.

The game between BYU and Washington on Dec. 27 in San Francisco will be called by a crew from Conference USA that includes Sarah Thomas as line judge and Maia Chaka as head linesman.

NCAA national coordinator of officials Rogers Redding says it is the first time two female officials have worked the same FBS game.

Thomas became the first female official in major college football in 2007 and the first to work a bowl game in 2009 at the Little Caesars Bowl.

First thought...also interested in the question of black yoga pants.

Second thought...Looking forward to rainy games in November.

Third thought...back to the yoga pants question, again.

Who cares as long as they perform their job well.

I mean, c'mon, they couldn't be any worse than most of the current zebras in college football...

The mistake is assigning 2 to the same game. One will get passive aggressive with the other, we'll start having conflicting calls, they'll refuse to huddle up and make a decision, it's going to be terrible.

There are plenty of females that emotional wrecks that cry at the drop of a hat. I'm sure these female officials can hold their own against coaches.

All women are emotional wrecks. Some just hide it better than others.

I fully expect you to either explode and curse me out or cry now.
