Clock keeper

[iceman]

Was it just me or was the Union clock keeper really milking the clock the last 3 mins of that game. I know with home field advantage you get a few things to go your way but 2 or 3 times the clock didnt start and one time there was a fumble by Union who recovered their fumble and unless the ref says to stop the clock it's not supposed to stop. I bet it was stopped 30 secs or so trying to get the ball back and spot the ball before it was started. Now Im not one to usually gripe over a win but that person needs to be dismissed from that job if they cant do it with alittle integrity.

You Muskogee fans.......should be happy with the W, no matter how many times the clock stopped.

Actually Iceman you are partially right. They should be fired. They were so bad it actually cost both teams. Several Union fans were turning around screaming at them. Examples....with about five minutes to go and Muskogee driving the field judge signals the play clock to start, nothing happens, Muskogee walks to the line, finally the play clock starts and Lewis just stands and waits for it to get to a few seconds. (Which is correct on his part) Total lost time for Union on the score clock...approx. 20 seconds. Two plays later field judge signals play clock to start, never does. Remember score clock is running. Muskogee waits, total lost time for Union...approx 30 seconds.

Where Muskogee got screwed was Union dropped back and completed a pass on their TD drive and only 1 second went off the score clock. At least 15 seconds should have expired. I actually think the fumble recovery was done correctly.

This person, or persons, where undoubtedly to busy watching the game. Fire them.
