Sarah Thomas
began her officiating career in 1996, when she attended a meeting of the Gulf Coast Football Officials Association, though she worked her first varsity high school game in 1999. During the 2009 season, Thomas was one of five female officials in major college football and the only one at the Football Bowl Subdivision level. She was assigned to crew and given a full schedule of 11 games. At the end of the season, she was selected to work the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl between Marshall and Ohio, making her the first woman to officiate a bowl game. On November 12, 2011, Thomas became the first woman to officiate in a Big Ten stadium, working as a line judge when Northwestern hosted Rice. In 2013, Thomas became one of 21 finalists in contention for a permanent NFL officiating position. Thomas has worked New Orleans Saints scrimmages, and was part of the NFL officiating development program, spending three days at the Indianapolis Colts minicamp.
On April 8, 2015, the NFL officially announced that Thomas will become the first full-time female official in NFL history. (Shannon Eastin, hired as a temporary non-union official during the 2012 NFL referee lockout, was the first woman to officiate an NFL game).

Comments: the strawberries taste like whiskey but not the other way around - PofC depends on your memories of Jack & Coke in college.
