Do high school crews generally stick together or is it different people each week?
Stick together. Jr high games are a mixed bag but unless you are a floater and fill in when needed, you will be with your crew if you are on one each week in HS

Exactly what I did! :lol:
You can accept or decline games ( although I wouldn’t decline too many unless really necessary) when they are assigned so you have some control of your schedule. I would encourage you to try it . You will probably really enjoy it . Good luck and congrats on retirement :cheers:

For the refs in here, what was your biggest blown call and what did it result in for the aggrieved team?
You are always going to miss some but so far I haven’t had any calls that directly affected the outcome of a game . Some fans and even coaches don’t know what each official is responsible for on each play . Every position has different reads/keys on each play . I was an Umpire the first 4 years ( you about get ran over 3 or 4 times a night :lol: ) and am running the Line Judge position this year . You gotta be focused for sure bc things happen so fast during a play . Since I am on the sidelines this year it is a lot faster and you have coaches constantly in your ear . Our Assigner always says “Don’t call everything you see, but damn sure see what you call”! I would call a game every night if I could . It’s one of the few things I have really enjoyed in my life

I am a retired teacher / Coach In Mississippi . This is my 5th year officiating HS FB. I call jr high during the week, HS games on Friday and Pee Wee on Saturdays :lol: Man I LOVE it! I do it to stay around the game and competition . You usually can make $160 for 7th, 8th, and jv combined. We get $125 for HS games and $180 cash on Saturday pee wee games . Pee Wee is god awful. Damn near fights about every weekend :lol:
We get HUDL film reviews from every HS game we work so it can be a little pressure packed at times but it makes you better . We have to pass two tests also at 80% to be eligible for playoffs

Do you believe that RB's 13 and 17 will both be on our 2027 roster?
I do. A lot of kids will stay if they are getting playing time/ have a shot at starting. Not many will ride the bench 2 or 3 years anymore . They are getting to play at one of the top brands in CFB and getting paid to do it. There will always be some who leave for more cash and some are asked to leave. Deboer has actually done a pretty good job of player retention .

We have a LOT of underclassmen playing significant minutes , especially on the offensive side. There will be some head scratching moments . Might as well get ready for it :lol:
It gets frustrating but I love the fact that this staff doesn’t mind playing the most talented players regardless of age… sets up well for a good core of players for the future

I could be wrong as two left shoes but I will be shocked if FSU or many teams line up and knock us off the ball in the run game … KY has decent backs ( not as big as the FSU guy) but man the front seven look very physical through the first two games
