The Big 12 Conference has assigned a female official to work one of its games for the first time in league history.

Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said Monday that Catherine "Cat" Conti will be on the crew for Kansas' season opener Sept. 6 at home against Southeast Missouri State.

While calling this a good opportunity for Conti and the league, Bowlsby says Big 12 officiating supervisor Walt Anderson assigned Conti "because she is just a darned good official."

Bowlsby also said Conti, a Southland Conference official, has paid her dues.

Kansas coach Charlie Weis jokingly said he'll try not to use as many curse words during the game.

First off, enough of the bullshit about women being all prim and proper. Modern females drink and talk like sailors and for those claiming to be offended by it they sure aren't calling out their fellow gender. It's because they want to play both sides of the coin when it's convenient for them to gain control over a situation.

Secondly. If it doesn't matter whether a ref is a male or female, why is a female already altering the game (language) prior to the first snap?

Thirdly. I personally don't think gender matters as rules are rules, and all a ref needs is eyeballs and the ability to decipher said rules.

Lastly. Be able to keep up with the play and don't get yourself runned over.

Let's pause to appreciate the pathfinders, the women of earlier generations who could go glass for glass and crass for crass with the worst the coarser gender dished out. My virtual toast goes to Molly Ivins. Even if her New Deal political bent caught in your craw, she was one tough Texas broad. Damn fine woman!

Johndyer fantasizes about her strapping on a big floppy and pounding him in the bunger.

Wait, countdown until some Husker points out she is a Texas-ex, and has posters and pictures of her at DKR with Mack Brown.
