It looked like an 80s game on Tigervison. Camera was horrible. No play clock on the screen. Wrong down on screen multiple times.

The quality of a lot of those Tigervision games was very poor. It was the 1980's and it looked like the 1950's. I remember paying for LSU - Ole Miss basketball, Chris Jackson vs. Glass and we could barely see it. Football was hit and miss. I did enjoy listening to Jimmy Taylor and Paul Hournung.

Fun fact, last tigervision game was against Furman in 2013.

2004 and 2006 games against Ole Miss were on Tigervision.

The last time LSU had a loss on Tigervision was 1998 against Ole Miss.

LSU is 64-21 all time on Tigervision.

The high winning percentage on Tigervision is because we were usually playing the crappy teams in games the major networks didn't want. ...... Edit - And I might say that that may have been an impressive winning percentage for the Curley Hallman era, but not for now.

No kidding, Tesla. Your contributions to the field of advanced sports statistics are notable.

They waited until last 2 minutes to put play clock on screen. As a retired coach, that drove me crazy.

I submitted a complaint to ESPN/SEC Network for both the camera work AND the terrible coverage by the on air guys in the booth who seemed to be more interested in hot chicken, opera, academy awards, organic gardening, and anything else except the game at hand. It will be interesting to see if I get a response.

I second that. Organic gardening and their questions about the Academy Awards. Guess because that gal went to LSU for drama school

The one good thing about Tigervision is that it was so easy to hack and watch the games for free. The bad thing was that the games were crap and hardy worth the effort.

The one thing I DID enjoy about the old school Tigervision was the entire broadcast was LSU personnel. Also they regularly had mini-features before the game and at halftime where Doug Moreau would interview an opposing coach and/or someone from the LSU side. It was an all LSU broadcast.

Just be thankful you could watch it. Suddenlink dropped the ball yet again in my neck of the woods and I lost all services Saturday morning. It's like the 5th time in 4 weeks that has happened. The only game I could watch was Bama Vs ATM over the air. Freaking sucked this weekend (for me anyways) to watch football.

Why can't some of you just enjoy that you get to watch every game and quit bitching about every fricking thing from the graphics to the announcers. Prior to Tigervision LSU games were televise about twice a year on the ABC game of the week. There were no conference networks or multiple ESPN channels.

When Tigervision was available you had to pay $25.00 or go to a loud smoky bar that offered it.

I have come to learn that the play clock in the stadium was broken until the 2nd half.

The play clock you see on your screen is directly from a feed from the stadium play clock. So if stadium play clock doesn't work, then the one on your screen won't work either.

As far as the rest of the shite on that broadcast, including Tom Hart talking about everything but the football game, blame that on SEC Network.
