I have officiated football for 32 years and I will say yes there are good crews and average to below average crews. Officials do not intentionally "screw" over a team. Fans are biased when looking at calls. Do we miss some? Yes. Calls are missed at every level of football. Does one call or even a handful of "questionable" calls cause a team to lose? Not very often. There is a major major shortage of officials in Nebraska right now. Most guys I have talked to as to why they gave it up say the same thing...it's not worth it anymore to be subject to the garbage we put up with. Some have thicker skins than others maybe they should have not been officials because of that. But I can tell you the sportsmanship of fans, players, parents and coaches has gone downhill over the years. It's awful. If you think you can do a better job grab a whistle, fill out an application, and join us brother. We would love to have you.
