    Gordon vs Benjamin

    Both teams are/were very good. Where ever Rigdon plays next season would be my pick to win the championship in that division. So assuming he's back at Benjamin (no reason to believe otherwise) I will be picking Benjamin and Gordon to repeat. As for this year, everyone gets to have their...

    Missed calls in Baseball

    I love reading these types of comments. It's easy to point out those who have never umpired a baseball game or ever officiated a sport. If/when the MLB does go to an electronic strike zone I will guarantee you there will be just as many individuals complaining now about the human strike zone...

    Can Someone Explain what Happen Friday Night

    Going to slightly disagree with you here but also acknowledge what I'm about to say may not be the most popular response and you very well may disagree, which is fine. But as officiating numbers continue to decline we do not need to sacrifice the product that is put on the field for the sake of...

    Ref rips helmet off of player

    Opinions and comments should be openly welcome. Why would you suggest they get removed? You're making your opinion based on what you see in a 10 second video and doing so without being interested in learning any other facts. Facts related to the game in question and facts related to proper...

    Ref rips helmet off of player

    You're simply showing you've never officiated the game. Yes, the player is looking at the play, and so is the Umpire. Appropriately so for both. To say the official is "incredibly lazy and entitled" is simply an irrational statement. But if a proper investigation is going to be conducted then...

    Can Someone Explain what Happen Friday Night

    I guarantee you they have the money. They just aren't used to paying for the 5th. Several years ago there was a concerted effort to NOT cover the game unless 5 officials were being used. Many officials will reject the game if it's not a crew of 5 knowing they will get re-assigned somewhere...

    Can Someone Explain what Happen Friday Night

    I see 5 officials in just about every 6-man game played in the South Plains and Panhandle. Not sure why you would say 5 officials is super rare.

    Ref rips helmet off of player

    If it's a simple cut & dry case I would assume the consequences would be a rest of the year suspension and then a multi-year probation period. That's simply my uneducated guess. However, I also have my own opinion and assumption that there's more to the story that simply what a 10 second video...

    Ball Touching, Impetus and Possession

    But don’t confuse this example of Team B intentionally batting the ball compared to it hitting off the top of the helmet. There’s a big difference between the two. So, again, scenario 2 is a safety.

    Ball Touching, Impetus and Possession

    Correct on scenario 1. Scenario 2 correct answer is a safety. The kick does not end until possession by Team B, or A, is obtained. Therefore, it's the kick and and impetus of the kick that put the ball in the end zone, not Team B's helmet. So Team A recovering it in the end zone creates a...

    Ball Touching, Impetus and Possession

    You got one right and one wrong. Surprisingly it's scenario 1 you missed. Team A does get to keep the ball for recovering after Team B touched it beyond the NZ. In your answer you said A does not get a new set of downs unless B possesses and then loses possession of the ball. A muff is not...

    Ball Touching, Impetus and Possession

    This one will be fun and I'm curious to see all the responses come in. Here's the play: Team A lines up to punt (yes, I know punting the ball is rare in 6-man but for comical sake lets assume it's 4th & 40) by snapping the ball from their own 5 yard line. Punter is standing deep in his own...

    Benjamin: Will Anyone Challenge?

    I really do not. I do know it’s been the pattern of the Rigdon’s to move in the past. Just not aware of this situation.

    Benjamin: Will Anyone Challenge?

    Why? Rigdon is a Jr but does that mean he will leave?

    Benjamin: Will Anyone Challenge?

    Now that we are three games into the season we should be seeing teams separating themselves. For those who follow the game inside and out, is there any DII team, or heck even DI, that's going to present a challenge for Benjamin? To me, it doesn't seem there is but I also am not familiar enough...
