I am proud to announce that the lead official (the referee in NFL parlance) in Sunday’s Super Bowl is a graduate of my law school. Clete Blakeman graduated from the University of Nebraska College of Law in 1991, after playing for the Nebraska football team as an undergraduate. In addition to being an NFL referee, Clete is an attorney for an Omaha firm. (That's right: the same Clete Blakeman who somehow managed to toss a coin in the Packers-Cardinals game without it flipping.)

Clete took Corporations from me so, if any corporate law issues come up during the course of the game, I’m confident he will handle them well.

If he screws up an important call, I will, of course, delete this post immediately after the game.
