Road Trip
December 2, 2011
We love maps, probably because we spend a lot of time with them during our travels across our great state.
To continue on with the transition theme from fall to winter, here’s a look at the road trip our Home Team Marketing representatives took this week.
If you attended a football, boys soccer or volleyball Regional, Semifinal or Final, mostly below the 45th parallel, you no doubt saw our banners or signs.
With those seasons over, and someone’s got to pick them up. So HTM took a U-Haul truck coast to coast to grab all of our gear to be re-deployed for the next round of tournaments.
Be the Referee: Soccer Disallowed Goal

Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.
Below is this week's segment – Soccer Disallowed Goal - Listen
A soccer team is racing towards the opponent’s goal, and after a couple of nice passes, they find the back of the net for a one-nothing lead.
As soon as the goal celebration starts, the coach of the team that scored excitedly motions for one of his players to come off the field. The assistant referee sees and hears this and counts the number of players on the field – and he realizes that the scoring team had 12 players on the field at the time of the goal. What’s the call?
The referee should disallow the goal because there were too many players on the field, and re-start the game with a goal kick by the team that was scored on. The extra player on the field receives a yellow card, and the score is back to 0-0 … or nil-nil.
