In other news, my friend... let's call him Joe, because I don't want to get anyone in trouble... is a football referee. Joe went to a certain university we'll just call Big State for purposes of this unnecessarily long story.

I was browsing Joe's Facebook page, because I haven't seen posts from him in months and was wondering why. (He used to be one of those who posted an uplifting message every morning at 5:30 a.m.  I may have taken him off my feed because of it.)

Well, there was a wall post from someone who said, "Hey Joe! I saw you on TV, working the Big State bowl game!! Awesome!"

He says, "That was me! It was great!"

Now, I'm not positive Joe was officiating, although it certainly sounded like it. I mean, maaaaybe there was a TV shot of him working concessions or something, but I'm fairly sure he was officiating.

Can you officiate a game for your alma mater?? It seems sort of shady. Maybe the better question is should you officiate a game for your alma mater?
