in Chit-Chat
That's really it. I just got tickets to a Alabama game in October. I lived in Chicago my whole life and I have never been to a football game. Ever. So since moving south these people keep randomly screaming "Roll Tide" where ever I go. I must see what all the excitement is all about.

So what do I need to know about football?

    If you have a rules question, fire away.
    I have officiated 1,243 games in 35 years.
    I've retired from the field now, but I'm still active in the official's association administratively.

    That may be true...but so far I seem to be taller than everyone...lol...and Im just short of 6 foot. That being said I meet a bunch of Bears players in Chicago a few years back and all I really had to say was "wow...you are a peanut."

    Many.
    And probably just as many not so huge, but still different.
    My knowledge of NFL rules is limited.
    NCAA rules are much more familiar.
    There are also differences between high school and NCAA.
    Texas and Massachusetts use the NCAA rulebook as the core, but have several exceptions. All other states use National Federation rules for high school football.
