FWIW, the OVC crew that came to Richmond worked one heck of a ballgame.  I work chains at UR, and they were simply awesome.

The B on that crew was on my crew in D-II. Proud of him!

Would that be an "in house" assignment (MVC)  like all the other levels do?

Appreciate all the hard work but I think Chattanooga is playing Indiana State, no? Also, is Jax St part of the SWAC or OVC?

I don't believe FCS subscribes to that practice.

I believe this UNI game is a Southern Conference crew. I know their conference has a game this, and since they aren't listed on the other games, it must be the UNI game.

Glad to hear they represented the OVC well.  Not surprised, good group of officials.
