This, of course, produced a lot of dissension with schools and fans thinking that they were screwed. So eventually, specific scheduling requirements were started.

            The permutations have me spinning. It is clearer to me for some reason when heavily medicated. But the column is a great help. Thanks WaP!!

              As far as Bryan Hicks goes, I think we've found this generations answer to Noeth.

                I never thought anyone could reach the Noeth level. Hicks has gotten there fast.

                  I don't think that he is there yet. Hicks is bad, but not as consistantly bad as Noeth. Noeth was visible for the entire game. Hicks seems to pick his spots.
                  I really don't like either one of them.

                    When we were fixtures in section 6-Jenny used to start the chant-Noeth Knoweth Nothing!! he was despised. I could tolerate most of the guys-they usually tried to do a good job. Noeth and Pierre Belanger were my most hated.

                      Hicks' spots seem to be "any game involving RPI." What was most shocking about his assignment on Friday is that they teamed him up with a guy who is usually a linesman in Shufelt. Leaving Hicks out there as the lead guy is a really head-scratching choice.

                        Perhaps, since the head referees have not been to the appreciative caliber that Mr. Stewart was hoping, the linesmen were given a chance under the immediate supervision of a head referee. Maybe this was just an unfortunate circumstance of the ref that was supervising.

                        I'm not sure if he's decided to retire, but I think for at least one game, Mr. Stewart should don the stripes and preach by example.

                          You don't just "don the stripes." Referees have to train and be in good physical condition.
                          Keep an open mind. Just don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out.

                            You are correct. I don't know when the last time was that Mr. Stewart reffed a game, nor his current physical condition.

                              In the past years when there was one ref and two linesmen-they usually worked as a team that travelled to each game. If the ref took ill or had some other problem, one of the linesmen would be moved up to the position as ref. Perhaps whoever was to ref with Hicks was not 100% and they moved a linesman up to the second ref position? Just a guess on my part.

                                But there were still two linesmen, weren't there?
