THE WIZARDRY OF OS
Maybe I am being a snob, but I am wish we could do away with all the conference championship games in college football. The SEC seems to be the only conference that can do it right. Have you checked out the riveting matchups from the other conferences?
The worst is in the ACC where there will probably be 50,000 in attendance to see a 6-6 Georgia Tech team in a "championship" game against Florida State. Ugh!
The PAC-12 will entertain us with a rematch between UCLA and Stanford just 6 days after the two teams played the first time in a fairly uncompetitive game.
Thanks to sanctions, the Big 10 game will be without Ohio State who is undefeated.
I will spare you listing the other anti climatic conference championship games. The point is that, outside of the SEC, this weekend will feature many games without a purpose. If I could have my way, I would like this week to start the "playoff season." We could play 4 games this weekend (or next weekend if you want to give an extra week of preparation between the Elite Eight. Then in January, finish off with the semifinals and finals as the commissioners have agreed.
Just a thought as I do not look forward to the bowl and playoff seasons. It looks like January will leave out my favorite teams, and include my all-time least favorites in prominent roles. Those teams are Notre Dame, Alabama, Atlanta, and San Francisco. All LSU fans and Saints fans that grew up in the 80s and 90s know what I am talking about.
HEY REF By
Dennis Dearie
Veteran Louisiana High School Referee
For my nearly fifty seven years on this earth I’ve always heard and been told the “Power of the Written Word”. So, it is with that thought that I try to explain if possible what I feel is the biggest story in High School Football this year. We’ve only got two more weeks before champions are crowned in Louisiana’s Superdome.
Yes, you read it right, LOUISIANA’S SUPERDOME! I refuse to call it by any other name. So before I get to what I’m calling the “biggest” of the year, let me congratulate the final fours. Winners of this week’s games get a ticket to play in the Saint’s House for all the marbles. In 1A if Kentwood gets by 13-0 Ouachita Christian they should rule the single A ranks. But that’s a VERY difficult row to hoe.
My 2A pick would be Baton Rouge’s U-High if not for John Curtis. That’s like betting against Bama this week. 3A is a toss-up between Parkview and Notre Dame. I just can’t bet against any team named Notre Dame especially after what the college variety did to USC last Saturday night.
In 4A looks like Neville from Monroe and Karr will collide next week for all the marbles and is too close to call. My 5A pick is any of the other three teams (Mandeville, Rummel or Barbe) trying to get the bus trip to New Orleans EXCEPT for the Rebels of West Monroe. My Alma Mater first needs to learn how to lose like a champion before they can represent being a Champion!
Now, without further delay what I’m calling the #1 Story in High School Football for the 2012 - 13 school year. Even though this story is truly a black-eye for all concerned it ranks as the story we all should pay attention to so that we never have it happen again. I’m referring to the absurd behavior by Bossier City’s Parkway High’s Principal Nichole Bourgeois and her having Live Oak’s Head Coach “Tut” Musemeche handcuffed by a Bossier City police officer on the field, in front of his team no less, for not getting his team off the field so the home team’s band could play at 6:30pm.
Even though she bears the vast brunt of the blame for this atrocity, I blame the game officials with the same amount of the blame! “Am I crazy”? “How can you write this”? “NO” to question 1 and “I call ‘em as I see ‘em” to answer the second part of this statement. As I look in my 2012 Federation (High School) Rule Book it states in Rule 1, Art. 7 “The GAME OFFICIALS shall assume AUTHORITY 30 minutes prior to the scheduled game time or as soon as possible”.
If I was in this crew I can tell you for certain that if there was any problem, I’d instructed the home team’s band to “clear the field at 6:30 so the teams may warm-up”! If they refused, I’d instruct the head coach he’ll begin the game with a 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty! I can tell you the band would be seated before 5 O’Clock!
This whole mess makes me sick because this principal stepped way out of line. I would’ve of cleared up real fast any authority she thought she had. She had ZERO, NONE, NODA, NOT AN OUNCE, NOT ONE BIT of AUTHORITY. The local school district should suspend the principal and even give some thought to removing her from it completely.
Now the local Officials Association that was scheduled to work this game should also be fined by the court for skirting its duty. You have one ego that thinks she rules the roost and another that was afraid to impose its authority as written into the rule book that governs all high school games throughout the 50 states. As ugly a situation this was there’s no place for it anywhere in any level of play.
The Live Oak players had to be walking as if in the Twilight Zone after seeing their coach hand-cuffed!! I can’t even begin to think what was going on in their heads to see a local city police officer of that night’s opponent arrest your head coach. Then to top everything off they’re then asked to go out on the field and beat the school that just had their coach in shackles.
Football is just as much a game where you try to get inside your opponent’s head as well as his endzone. I’m watching this story very close and hope the Livingston Parish School System files suit against the Officials’ Association and the Shreveport School District for gross incompetence.
As a Football Official your duties start long before it’s time to tee it up. They didn’t do their job to the best of their ability and should be forced to pay damages of the most extreme as a way of telling all schools that the people are there to see a football game not a band solo!!! If that principal wants the band to play, tell ‘em they can play from the track area or the bleachers.
It’s easy to say you’re an Official but it takes BALLS to make yourself one! It’s very clear this was a female crew ‘cause none of ‘em showed they had a pair between their legs!!!
Till next week… …
