vincec Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 He did the no punt game. Was a great ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah John Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 With most refs, you don't realize they're not working anymore until they die. I have no idea when Cashion retired, but the memory of his calls is so fresh. The exception to this of course is Ed Hochuli who thought his words of wisdom were the reason we all watched the game. Happy happy happy that he's retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
