BDS renovations and HDTV monitors in Replay Booth

Per Wikipedia, BDS got an expensive renovation which was completed for the 2010 season --
On February 6, 2009, the university's Board of Trustees voted unanimously and without discussion to give the final approval construction to commence on the south end zone expansion. With the approval of the Board of Trustees, construction began in the Spring 2009 and continued throughout the 2009 football season.[15][16] The expansion was finished in time for the first game of the team's 2010 season.
The Tuscaloosa News reported on April 17, 2009 that due to the economic climate and resultant lowered construction costs, the stadium expansion cost $15 million less than expected, coming in around $65.6 million.[17]
The expanded south end zone now includes a two level South Zone club with a total of 1,700 seats and 36 skyboxes to bring the total number of skyboxes in Bryant–Denny Stadium to 159, as well as an 8,500 seat upper deck. The entire stadium's audio/visual system was upgraded including two new video boards in both corners of the south end zone.[18]
Did the A/V system upgrade include adding HDTV's in the replay booth? I ask because wasn't the lack of HDTV's the excuse for not overturning the Peterson "no interception" call in 2009?

I thought it was because the SEC office is located in Bham, or the head of officials is a bama grad, or because CBS hates LSU?
Didn't Burleson babysit Bear Bryant when he was a child? I've heard that one too

If, I repeat IF, they want to screw us I'm sure they can find a way even with improved monitors in the booth.

I dont the think the reason a player who got 3 feet in bounds was said to not have gotten 1 in is that funny, but the call itself is laughable

Actually the CBS announcers pointed out that it was a terrible call by the officials. It was so obvious they had to say something.

Even the best HDTVs can't compensate for CBS's shitty HD feed. They easily have the worst of all the major networks.

How many cameras you think they bring to this game? I bet it is more than normal.
