The "Deadline"

[TXMike]

As I pointed out earlier, I did not think the Nov 1 "deadline" was really  that.  This was confirmed in a message from the UIL to coaches today.  They have told coaches officials may continue to register AFTER Nov 1

[DallasLJ]

up until when?  Nov 5?  November 12th if requested for a playoff game?

[TXMike]

Apparently they don't say but it reportedly the tone of the memo is that they fully expect to have issues and remind coaches that using non-UIL officials makes them subject to sanction (unspecified exactly what).  Also gives them a point of contact should they have trouble finding "UIL  registered Officials." 

[TexDoc]

UIL speak with fork tongue many times before.  Why this be different now Kemo Sabe?

[TXMike]

Great point!  Although this would be something very difficult for them to deal with if Nov 4 comes along and a guy who has a game on Friday the 5th finally gives in to the pressure from his crew and chapter and registers.  The chapter would surely "let" him work the game as would the schools.  Wopuld be hard for UIL to do anything about that.

[rickref]

Just a thought but was 1204 not changed as well to include sub varsity work??

[Etref]

I believe you are correct..................................didn't want to work that damn 3 game set anyway......

[TXMike]

Clearly UIL put lots of thought into what they are doing.  This is the latest they have had to issue in light of the mass confusion they are causing.

All Volleyball Officials:

To all the volleyball officials who previously received the email regarding the October 13th registration date email, please read carefully.  Although UIL’s regional and state volleyball tournaments do not occur until after November 1, 2010, selection of tournament officials from the top 25% lists submitted by the chapters, is being conducted now in order to ensure that there is adequate time to secure travel arrangements necessary for those selected to officiate. Local officiating chapters are welcome to nominate officials in their chapters for selection, per UIL and chapter guidelines.

The amendment to section 1204 of the UIL contest rules, which requires that officials assigned to playoffs be registered with the UIL, is scheduled to go into effect November 1, 2010.  Because the nomination and selection of volleyball tournament officials is taking place prior to November 1, 2010, registration with UIL is NOT required in order to be nominated or selected as a tournament official.

Those selected to act as tournament officials should be made aware, however, that on or after November 1, 2010, only those officials who are registered with the UIL in compliance with section 1204 will be permitted to officiate UIL tournament contests that occur on or after that date.

Sincerely,

Man he is like a cat in a litter box!

[blindref757]

PS--The "wink-wink" method will be used, so despite the fact that my legal department forced me to send out this memo, you can bet your BUTT that you won't be selected if you are not registered on the day that I make the picks final.

Sincerely,
TT

[TexDoc]

How much time do you think the UIL office is spending on officiating issues now as opposed to before all of this started?  I wonder if they ever imagined it would take so much effort, money and time.

[TXMike]

Certainly they have a lot less time to vist  some beautiful ranch out in West Texas.

Yeah, and right here in the gaping maw of deer season, too!

Oh, what a wicked web we weave, when we plot...to deceive.

Doesn't anyone wonder why the other Texas universities have not put in for a piece of the UIL?  Why only UT-Austin?  Because the building is IN Austin?  I'm sure UT gets a cut of the UIL's "profits".  You would have thought when the courts decided that the UIL was a "state" agency, they would question the UT-Austin relationship, but no one has brought that issue up.

Remember all the trouble they had when they were adding teams to the football state championships?  Lots of uproar but they got what they wanted.  It's almost like coaches, superintendents and just the general public is afraid of the UIL, thus giving them the "untouchable" attitude they demonstrate.

And from talking to coaches, the THSCA is staying out of it.  They only get involved when it's pertaining to "football" and with little coming from them on this, I'd say they don't really care either way. 

[jeffreff]

I agree, Gal.
I wonder if THSCA will become interested if UIL sends 1 reg official and 4 converted officials from other sports to work a week 10 or playoff game and the game gets botched? How many games are there during week 10?

Yeah, I would rather be taken advantage of by Aggies than T-sippers!

GWK: Are you saying that you are an Aggie from the proud class of '78? Well so is my wife! And my son, I might add, is there right now as a member of the 2012 class!. I graduated from a Louisiana Cow College(McNeese State) in '74 and catch hell from from my Aggie family members on a continuous basis! All of the maroon in my closet is wife and son issued standard equipment and in order to keep the peace, I had better not be caught out of proper attire!


So why can't we just get the THSCA to "dis" the UIL, and join TASO, as well as other interested entities(namely legislators) in requesting the abolition of the UIL in Austin, and moving the whole ball of wax over to Aggieland? A&M would be more than proud to house the new organization!

Now that's not exactly to say that they can't leave the  Good UIL Dr. with something that he can oversee, perhaps like band competition, speech, debate, and one-act plays. And maybe Good Time Charlie can then keep his  Dancing Monkey employed by having him head up UIL theatrics! How appropriate!

Kimmel, it never ceases to amaze me of how jealous you are of Dr. B and Tony. I know that they are so much younger and powerful than you ever were and with you being at the end of your football career, I guess it makes it easier for you to accept retirement by doing all your name calling. Its OK, life will go on without your sorry old cranky BUTT. Get your rocker out, PawPaw!!!!!

If it ultimately comes to it, I'll be most happy to do just that rather than to ally myself alongside the likes of folks like you! Jealous of the   Good UIL Dr. and his Strutting Simian? Not quite! Just calling them out on their being so underqualified to take over football, as neither one would know the shape of a football if given a multiple-choice question on a test. And it is all too apparent that they are justly doing their jobs by attracting the uneducated and unsophisticated folks much like yourself!

So if the new UIL order of high school football officiating leadership is inclusive of the aforementioned folks, as well as officiating trollops like yourself, then I'll gladly take to my rocking chair and just be happy to call it a day! But I would never pretend to prostitute myself for just a smattering of playoff games just to promote the UIL's sordid agenda! And like the vast majority of TASO loyalists, I'm just going to wait to see if the Federal Court Restraining Order is forthcoming and reinstated!

Arbitrator -
You know your Aggie nomenclature.  The answer is yes, class of '78.  Wife is class of 80.  Brothers were Aggie Band drum majors of '82.  #2 son is most recent class of '10, daughter will graduate next spring, class of '11.   But my oldest son is a t.u. graduate and has recently left Google to start a new company in silicon valley.  Texas at Austin was excellent for him, so I suppose that you could say that I go both ways!

Apparently the Tyler Soccer Chapter has gone over.   And they even provide a nice study guide for the UIL certification exam:

Well ain't that special! But I would think that they should select someone in their membership who could possibly spell correctly, or use proper English. They must be getting English/Spelling lessons from the   "El Presidente" of the Houston UIL Basketball Chapter~ the   Good UIL Dr.'s protege!
