ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - The kick is up — and into the video screen.
Tennessee Titans rookie punter A.J. Trapasso's boot in the third quarter of the opening game at the new Cowboys Stadium hit one of the 60-yard long high-definition video screens that hang about 90 feet above the field.
Trapasso pointed up at the board when the ball dropped straight down. Officials were slow to realize what happened until Titans coach Jeff Fisher threw his red challenge flag to get their attention.
Trapasso and veteran Titans punter Craig Hentrich both hit the screen during pregame warmups, but Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says there are no plans to raise to the massive screens any higher.

Wow. That's actually insanely irritating. If the Aggies get screwed by this when they play Arkansas, I won't be too happy.

I went on a tour and they claimed to have tested it with the Cowboys punter and he could only reach 85 feet. They then put the screen at a 100 feet above the playing surface. I blame the Cowboys for having a shitty punter.

Did Jerry Jones make the decision to draft him?

It wont matter, because Arkansas is going to skulldrag your Aggies!

During the radio broadcast last night they said it would cost 6 million dollars to raise it to the right height.

And I am still convinced this is all Jerry Jones' fault.
