Omaha Beef News Release
Omaha, NE - The Omaha Beef, professional indoor football team, proudly announce that game clock and scoreboard operator Norm Major will be back for his ninth season in 2008.
Major is the only clock and scoreboard operator in the team's history. According to Major, he has only missed one game in his career, a pre-season game against the Show-Me Believers in 2004. During the games, you can find him on the 25-yard line, in the front row working away.
In addition to his Beef duties, he runs the clock for the University of Nebraska-Omaha football and basketball games. Major is the second clock operator in the history of Al F. Caniglia Field and Lee and Helene Sapp Fieldhouse, having replaced Don Copenhaver upon his death.
Gary Anderson, UNO Sports Information Director, says Major is a crucial piece to the Mavericks' puzzle.
"Norm is an integral part of our crew," Anderson said. "You can always depend on him being there. When you're responsible for game management, people like Norm are indispensible."
Major is a key contributor to the Beef's game day and enjoys what he does for the team.
"I hope to do this for a number of years provided the Beef still want me around," Major said.
The Omaha Beef will begin their ninth season in professional indoor football in March 2008. All home games will be played at the Omaha Civic Auditorium. The Beef are a member of the United Indoor Football Association, the premier indoor football league in America.
