I don't know if this was discussed during the game but did anyone else notice the lack of replays. The only replays I ever saw were of touchdowns and maybe a few others. That broadcast in general didn't seem up to par with what they normally do.

Just the opposite. They showed replays, sometimes when the live play was happening. They also cut to clips from other games and when they returned, a live play was running.

I was really pissed when we got a 30-yard run called back and not only did they not show the referees call, but then they didn't even show a replay of the penalty. As an LSU fan, I'm like "WTF just happenned"

What was up with the camera that filmed the left half of the field?

Many times when LSU was in the red zone it would be zoomed way out and wouldn't zoom in until the play already started.

They showed one replay after the play but before the refs call and you could see the penalty. It was a pretty light one handed nudge from Barksdale.

thought Lundquist was the anti LSU guy, but those two yahoos followed pretty close.

Yea the blimp camera was showing a lot of the plays and wouldn't zoom in until the play was over. Players looked like ants and u couldn't tell what was happening

This is Borat. I a reporter from Kazakhstan. I meet this woman Erin Andrews. She is very nice. I'd like to do the sexy with her very much! I think I will find her and throw the wedding sack over her head and take her back to Kazakhstan with me. I want to do the sexy again!

This, that was a huge call and we never saw the replay!

You got the CBS B team in the broadcast booth and in the production trailers. The A team was in Alabama. Lot fewer cameras and replay capabilities with the B team.

If it's the same play you're talking about, they did show a replay at one point and in it you could see Michael Ford getting his facemask grabbed -- no call of course.

Tigervision and the SEC sports network had better coverages for the ULM and McNeese games than CBS did for the Arky game yesterday.

just shows how horrible war memorial stadium is when you have to zoom in to show the numbers and zoom out after the play. cbs announcers were really bad, they werent anti-lsu but niether of them had any insight on the play calling or formations

The constant cut-aways to plays from other games when they should have been showing our games replay was really irritating.

Gave a whole new meaning to whip-around coverage.

This. The CBS Sports budget can barely afford to produce 2 games in one weekend.

CBS hates going to Little Rock as well and it showed. I don't know why the SEC lets any school play in that dump.

You're exactly right. My dad and I kept asking for a replay. Plus they cut in after a kickoff. I couldn't believe how horrible it was. A lot of dead time that I couldn't understand.
