Courtesy the creatively-paired Jim Mora, it’s your annual wake-up call from more-competent-than-you-think college officials: Dennis Dodd, bored like the rest of us, did this thing last week where he took the test offered to officials by USA Football . It’s 100 extremely detailed questions about spotting, penalties and clock rules, and it’s a bitch. Dodd made a pretty ... [link]

Take The NCAA Official Exam, Prepare to Fail
Published 7/8/2008 by Adam Jacobi at FanHouse
... and watch the crowd for proof. So CBS's Dennis Dodd, on a whim, got a hold of the NCAA's official, um, Official Exam. It's 100 questions, none of them obvious, and most of them downright ruthless. Dodd scored a 46. But Dodd's just a journalist, which is somewhere lower than "blogger" and higher than "poodle" in terms of intellect. Certainly Blogfrica's preeminent authority on all things pigskin, Sunday Morning Quarterback, would do far better, yes? No, not really. 55. Naturally, I couldn't resist the temptation. How hard ...

CURIOUS INDEX, 7/8/2008

... We’ll take the test this morning, and in short, we are frightened if SMQ only got a fifty-five. On the heels of discovering we couldn’t run under six seconds in the forty, June and July are truly becoming the months of enforced humility. (Dodd? 46; ...

Before we get to the suspension talk, two quick matters of business: 1) Take the NCAA Official's Exam! It's quick and easy! (NOTE: both lies.) Dennis Dodd did (46%), then SMQ did (55%), then I did (55% again). It's long, so carve out a good hunk of time, but you can always save your progress if you feel like doing more with your lunch hour than figuring out when the clock starts on a forward fumble out of bounds on 3rd down when there's a chop block behind the play. Yeah. Seriously, though, as footballdorkery ...

THE ROUNDABOUT: Summer Doledrums Edition

... I saw this last week and couldn't find a place to link it except in the newsfeed (which, apparently, few people seem to know about -- it is on the right sidebar below the fanshots).  Sunday Morning Quarterback comments on the rules test college football officials have to pass every year.  Virtually every college football pundit I have seen talk about this scored poorly, and even the ever-knowledgeable SMQ managed only a 55.  I myself have deigned not to assail my self-esteem by attempting it. ...
