    Jarryd Hayne

    Apparently he is going to try and make it in the NFL. I think he will struggle to make it. For an NFL player, his size will limit the positions he can play. 6'2" is a little tall for a running back. 220 pounds is a good weight, but that is light for someone of his height. Tight end would be...

    1099s

    Do any of you get 1099s at the end of the year for tax purposes? That is a new thing for Indiana in 2014. What is the tax rate? I tried looking it up but got bored after about 5 seconds reading that stuff. Is there an influence of your other income on the tax rate? Frankly, if 15+% of my...

    Scheduling Software

    In Indiana, we used Arbiter. It is the NCAA's platform. It is good, but expensive. What is everyone else using? My thoughts on the basic needs for the sytem: Refs- Get assignments via e-mail Must confirm assignment Can put in availability Have to put in RC/YC reports and score...

    Saddle Roll for our Illinois Friend

    Smeagol- No way will we discuss this on the "world" forum. Dixie was already trying to start trouble. You will see a saddle roll and the USA Game Management Guidelines acknowledge it is a legal move. Simon Smith especially has had a lot of discussion with Richard Every regarding this...

    Coach Evaluation Cards

    We are going to start passing out cards for coaches to "assess" referees after a match. We used to use an on-line tool, but no one actually did it. Can you please share the ones from your society so I can pick and choose what I like and make (or steal) one for our society

    Aussie Invasion

    Pretty cool article. Not a bad time for these two guys. You get to play for a national championship in front of 80,000 people and about 30 million will watch you on TV. The kicker has a real shot at an NFL contract. The top paid kicker in the NFL makes $5,000,000 and the average salary is...

    Nutrition

    Snow crab legs. Are you kidding me? Those were Alaskan King Crab legs. The turkey fryer I have is big enough that I need to use it outside. See the set-up. That is a safety issue as well. The pot I use is 30 quarts (28.4L). I use a small turkey so it fits. I usually get about a 14 pound bird...

    No World Cup- I Will Have to Watch This

    Our very own DDJamo will be the match official for the "biggest game of the college season." See the article here: http://www.rugbymag.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2477:panther-host-falcons-for-massive-match&catid=48:mens-di-college&Itemid=208 The good news is that the home...

    Got Old Kit? Help for a Fallen Player

    A few years ago a player in Indiana was paralyzed in a match making a routine tackle. His club has done a great job supporting him and holds an annual fundraiser on his behalf. They try to get various items to auction. Stoo48 brought me a Warwickshire jersey that will be sold this year. If you...

    One of our own- A big Shot TV ref

    DDJAMO is way too humble to tell everyone, but after this weekend he will be a TV ref. So, no more straight feeds or proper binds for him. And, it is a match with international flavor as a touring side from Canada is playing my former club, the Toledo Celtics on Saturday. See the schedule here...

    Some positives

    My spiritual guru tells me that he is trying to be more positive. I like that idea. There were many good things from the opening weekend of Rugby here in Indiana. So, instead of bashing IRB panel refs, complaining about players/ coaches/spectators and other negatives, I am going to list some...

    Chopper, You Make the Call

    The striking ref here, a former Hookah, is in great position to make this call. But, the camera angle is a bit off. Is the pass going to be forward? The 10 meter line may offer a clue.
