re: How is there variance in 9 seconds?

A quarter is 15:00, if the clock immediately goes from 15:00 to 14:59 then in actuality the quarter is only 14:59. Where did the last second go?
Jesus frick, damn the math education in this country.
Try rereading the post slower and maybe you’ll understand.

And yes it does wait a second to turn.
You won’t be able to pull up a SINGLE video from a start of a quarter in either pro or CFB where the clock shifts in a second or more from the snap, the gap being only human reaction time.
There are numerous vids from this event showing the clock ticked at around a half second after the snap, after the ref clock reset (human reaction time, remember?)

It does not matter-just like when the Saints were screwed on the famous no call against the Rams, and just like in this game, you still have to stop the other team from scoring!! But yes, it was a total screw job for sure.

Yes it will. Tbh I'm questioning your education.
Do me a favor. Go put 10 seconds on your microwave and tell me if it instantly turns to 9 or it takes a second. Works exactly the same way as a game clock.

Why are you asking about microwaves when I already asked you about real game footage?
Here, I’ll help you.
The clock ticks at less than a second from the snap. And the time range in the difference is reasonably in human error. But it’s certainly not a second or more.

I don’t have to question your education tho. You’ve made it clear.

Who said anything about more than a second??
So I think we can agree 0:00=0:00.
You seem to be arguing 0:01 means anything between 1.00 - 1.99.
It actually is anything between 0.01 - 1.00.
Its called an absolute clock if you'd like to Google that.

Well yes. And I’ve explained why, given game film as why, and all you’ve had to say in response is “check your microwave.”

My man I can't even follow you. Get off reddit for a minute and use your brain.

I don’t doubt it.
Why don’t you respond to the game film. Or offer your own evidence. Rather than your feelings?
No wait, you are basing it on your microwave. Got it.

So what’s the name of the clock basketball uses?
Actually, never mind, really don’t care about anyone that aggressively belligerent over ignorance.

I am trying to follow you, but I haven't been able to.
Let me ask a question to see if we are on the same page or are reading a different book.
Condition: After the play preceding the first Hail Mary, the ref told the timekeeper to set the clock to 9 seconds.
From your POV, from the time the timekeeper triggered the start of the countdown timer until it displays 0:00 should it be exactly 9 seconds or some other period?

Explain yourself. I still haven't seen a good argument for your position other than "hurr durr u dum"

ok, does this compute for you
0 to 1 =1
1 to 2 =2
2 to 3 =3
3 to 4 =4
4 to 5 = 5
5 to 6 = 6
6 to 7 = 7
7 to 8 = 8
8 to 9 = 9
9 to 10 = 10
10 to 11 = 11
11 to 12 = 12
12 to 13 = 13
13 to 14 = 14
14 to 15 = 15
15 full seconds 15.99 is not 15 full seconds, it is 15 seconds + 0.99 seconds
you used a quarter 15:00 same thing applies with minutes and seconds
15:00 minutes minus 0.0000000000000000000000001 will read 14:59 faster than you can process.

One thing I haven't seen discussed is why Michigan didn't have to attempt the PAT or two point conversion. I don't remember if it was college or pros, but I do remember several years back a team scored on a long pass at time expired to go up by one. They botched the snap, defense recovered it and ended up getting tackled before he could score going the other way, but I always thought if there was even a chance of the other team making a play that you had to play that snap. Sure you could line up and take a knee, but a bad snap or the QB bobbling the ball can still happen.

So basically without showing the tenths of a second, the last second of any game is actually 1.99999 seconds in real time? Clock goes to 1.9 but shows 1 and then hits 0 at 0? So when it hits 1 second there are still 1.9999 seconds left?
Posted on 9/8/26 at 4:56 pm to RedHawk
could be anywhere in-between 1.00000000000 and 1.99999999999

Why has this mysterious clock situation NEVER been uncovered until now? I remember games where a team is trying to spike the ball and the ball hits the ground barely when the clock is 0. But now there's .9 seconds left when that happens?
WTF.
