Sometimes I have the pleasure of working on the weekend. This particular job is not one that I receive compensation for, it is one where I get to assist in marking first downs or moving chains, it may involve running the clips. Whatever they ask me to do as a member of the chain gang for either Cedar High School or Southern Utah University football games, I am happy to do it. It allows me to enjoy a football game from the best seats in the house. Sometimes the seat is so good that the action comes right at me and I have to jump out of the way. Well, take a look at the following picture, in the background you see two guys with red shirts on under blue and white vests. One of those guys is me and the other is Dean, a fellow chain crew member. Photo credit to Taylor, great shot and not just because I'm in it. This is what I mean by beat seat in the house. On occasion I will have a coach step out in front of me, or I might have to look over the shoulder of the official. For the most part I have a front row seat and direct line of sight. It is a lot of fun. I also work on the opposing teams sideline and that can sometimes be wildly entertaining. It is a lot of fun and one of those rare things I get to do for myself. I enjoy being able to participate and to associate with a great group of men. We have a lot of fun.
Well, the picture won't post. Oh well. Just picture couple of football players. One is getting hit hard by the other. In the background is the sideline of the opposing team. There I am, right there with an unobstructed view of the action surrounded by players and coaches of the opposing team and a ball girl for SUU. It is great.
