Mixing in a minor complaint - Video board stats

Agreed they showed us kickoff stats for 1 whole quarter

I’ve tried to give the video board operator the benefit of the doubt in the past, but that’s pretty much indefensible.

I feel like the lack of penalty/review replays was intentional since they put glowing projectiles in all the seats before the game. Didn’t want to risk an incident like the infamous PI call at Texas last year

it looked like it was being g streamed form a desktop only taking up 50% of the screen

This is mind blowing to me. It has been like this for at least 5 years. How tf have we not figured this out?

Also I just laugh at the attempt to do in-game updates. They are consistently like a quarter behind. And the games they choose, i need to be inside that discussion. They showed Kentucky-Eastern Michigan highlights instead of a 2nd update on the ND-A&M game. I can only imagine there are like 3 absolute degenerates in Tiger Stadium begging for an update on the Kentucky-EMU game.

I’d like each board to have a built in decibel meter —- I saw it at the Tenn/UGA game. People yell louder trying to get that number higher

Whoever is responsible for showing replays needs to be cut off the whiskey at least two hrs before kickoff- I’ve been to both games and there has not been ONCE where there was a look at any play where we wanted to see the replay-was it targeting?, did he step out of bounds, did he get a good spot, where was the hold, or block in the back, etc etc…

It’s like they avoid any possible controversy by intentionally avoiding anything we might BOO or something???

Protip: the LSU Sports app has live stats.

Every time you would look up at the board between series, all they would show is punting or kickoff return stats. Frick, just scroll all the stats.

They didn't show replays vs. La. Tech. They avoided controversial replays vs. Florida. For example, there was no replay of the targeting call on Weeks. The only replay they showed (IIRC) was one where the Florida WR might have been out of bounds on a catch, but it was pretty clear he wasn't. I think that's why they showed that replay.

But you are 100% right. The dumbass referees in the Georgia v. Texas game are to blame. They allowed the crowd throwing stuff on the field in protest to influence them to overturn a call that wasn't reviewable. Thus, incentivizing every other fanbase to throw things on the field in protest of a bad call. There is no doubt in my mind that's why you don't see video review replays in the stadium anymore...or at least those deemed potentially controversial

It always pisses me off when the tech issues are screwed up. Especially game/play clock malfunctions. It LITERALLY only has to work for 4 hours, 7-8 days of the entire year. How are you not troubleshooting the hell out of the tech to ensure it works the minimal amount of time it's required to work?

But they never really show replays in the stadium no matter which game it is. Its been like this for years. And when they do show a replay it's from a field level camera in the endzone, so you're watching the play either coming towards you or going away from you.
