Hi Scotty,

From what I remember last yr. Mike Pereira added just a few more Alternates to the Super Bowl. He said that he wanted to be covered in most positions & not to have any difficulties in any position. I think Mike Pereira did this, because of the injuries & illnesses in the 2007 season.

By the way I heard that VP of officiating Mike Pereira is retiring this year, but sticking around for one more to help out in the transition of the new VP.

Looking at the Super Bowl assignments, it is interesting to note that although Ed Hochuli’s CREW was apparently the highest rated, none of the individual officials, including Ed, was in the top three.

Hey guys just a quick question I was thinking of. How do they choose the alternate officials? And how do they decide how many to have? Just curious if anyone knew.

Super Bowl XLIII Referee

The only ones I see in the running for Referee of Super Bowl XLIII would be:

Ron Winter

Ed Hochuli

I see it too soon for Terry McAulay & way too soon for Bill Leavy.

Terry McAulay Super Bowl XXXIX
Bill Leavy Super Bowl XL

Mr. Ed Hochuli should get the nod.

[...] Boris will serve as the field judge for the annual gathering of NFL talent. Don’t think Joy will be able to make the trek across the country, though: The Blue Devils travel to Chapel Hill to play North Carolina the next night. [...]
