UIL Wedbsite says Follett vs Motley County in Childress. Is it confirmed to be in Pampa?

The game NEEDED to be postponed. No reason to put kids safety at risk so some adults can relive their childhood through their kids or other peoples kids. This game should be outstanding. 6man football is awesome and when 2 good teams play each other, it makes it even better. We had 80 traffic...

I did one of their games earlier, they had brought in 2 new coaches to help them this season. If coach Eli is coach Spitzer's long time assistant, my understanding is he is retiring as well. I know coach Spitzer is taking over as Superintendent.

Would love to know that myself. Spitzer is retiring this year from Newcastle.

I'm sorry. Meant Old Fat and bald is right.

Bearcat is right. My town had 80 plus wrecks last night. Not Life and death. No parent wants to see their child hurt or possibly killed. Football can wait a couple of days.

Wow. please parden the above typo's. Remember, I'm blind and can't see the letters very well. lol

One problem with a lot of the calls are, they are by deffinition, "A judgement call". Each person's judgement is different. Hore collar for example. One persons definition of immediate is different from another person's. 4 people can see the same care wreck and you will usually get 5 different...

Bordon County and Throckmorton should be a great game. I truly wish, not in just 6man but also all divisions, they could start seeding. It's a shame when 9 of the top 10 teams are in the same side of the bracket. Bordon County will be more battle tested than Throckmorton going into the...

Sorry for being so caught up in this, but it's disgusting. Paterno got fired for his lack of stepping up to the plate. So be it. It's done, it's over. WHY is McQueary still there? A man, a TRUE MAN would have gotten physically involved the moment he saw and registered in his mind what was...

My question is why hasn't McQueary been fired and under investigation. He said he saw the act happen. If it's all true that means He WATCHED as a 10 year old was raped and did nothing. He is a gutless punk not only letting that happen but also watching it. He could have called the police that...

Interesting that you say there is no pass interference behind the line of scrimmage. Maybe you should inform the officials who called the Midwestern State University vs Tarleton State game. That very call was made. DPI behind the LOS. It could not have been defensive holding because it was a...

The Horsecollar rule is one of the most missapplied rules there is. No two officials call it exactly the same. Each officials deffinition of being immediately pulled down is different. They either need to make it illegal to grab the collar or completely do away with one of the most useless rules...

Unfortunantly it is a sign of the times. More and more kids are showing little or no respect to authority. Whether it be coaches, parents, teachers, officials or officers. It's not what it used to be. Part of the problem is kids and adults are on first name basis. Adults spend more time trying...

As long as humans are involved, inconsistency WILL happen. Refs do not make the rules, but are told to enforce them. The horsecollar rule was one that is still being worked out among crews. We as officials do our best to not have an impact on the outcome of the game, unfortunantly it does happen...
