Question about the replay video angles...
Posted on 11/8/09 at 6:44 pm

Does the replay booth have an angle that the CBS viewing audience does not see, or are they limited to what the CBS camera crew provides?
If it is the latter, I find it extremely disappointing that a conference with as much wealth as the SEC cannot afford a system that has a sufficient number of camera angles to provide as much evidence as possible to the replay booth official.
At a minimum, there should be cameras down each sideline, on the goal line, and on the back of the endzone.
I am guessing that a better angle would have proven that Peterson did catch the ball.
Oh well.

They can see CBS's cameras. I forgot where I heard it, but it was on one of the bigger games earlier this year.

Pretty sure it's the latter.

what is more depressing is that CBS originally gave the sideline behind the play angle that clearly showed the foot in. Then they only showed the one angle from the field after that. I kept waiting for them to go back to it, but they never did.

This is what they are seeing in the review booth.

You are right. They showed the sideline view from behind the play only one time, and it clearly showed both feet in the field of play. I'm still waiting to see that view again and have been searching to find it.

Chicken did you notice that initially they showed the interception from the endzone? this was the best angle and clearly showed he had 3 feet inbounds. Yet they only showed it once or twice on tv. On your question the replay booth has access to every camera that the networks do.

I wonder if this is a stadium limitation...ie, where would they put all of these extra cameras...still, there needs to be a better solution. With all of the money that the SEC has, we should have better replay capabilities.

Ha. I'm glad some guy on his ocmputer has better replays then the stadium refs.

How much would it cost, honestly to outfit footballs with sensors, never was a fan of the idea, but this is ridiculous.
Put a sensor in the ball, have some markers along the boundaries and goal line and somehow make it possible to tell when the ball crosses the first down marker...

I expect that to be one of the major differences in the next 10 - 15 years.
You would think they would do that for the end zone at the least.

I mean the technology HAS to be to the level of possible by now doesn't it.
Whichever football producing company can make that happen and can offer the other sensors, I think is the next multi-million dollar industry, so computer geeks, get planning, you could take over the most watches sport in the country.

Funny, but they actually had a version of this on sports science the other day. A little over complicated version, but it told the velocity, rotation, angle . . . Basically, it told the entire history of the ball.

So 2 more than he actually needed? Damn.

Then the minute they can make a ball that isn't weighed down by the chip can be used just like a normal one (which I would assume would be sooner rather than later) it should be implemented. The goal line was the first time I started warming to the idea, but I just assume have it be used for downs, distance, out of bounds and goal lines at this point. Leave the refs to call holding and such, granted that's still a problem, but it would take care of some of it.
