re: LSU vs. Mississippi State - ABC/ESPN @ 11:00 AM - October 17th

I don't understand the need to pick any TV windows before the season starts.
That was supposed to be the primary benefit to going with a single network rather than the B1G route or ESPN & CBS. It’s supposed to allow for better trip planning for fans. From a media rights deal perspective it’s definitely overrated considering the cost as well as the lack of flexibility for scheduling that we’re seeing.

Of course the ref’s view was better. Show it. Otherwise my point was the video I posted was a better view than being center for this particular kick. You said angles don’t work that way. Grok agrees with me.
quote:
For a kick originating on the right hash that is drifting toward (or aimed at) the left upright, the single most informative camera position is the one that puts these points as close to collinear as possible:
1. Camera
2. Kicker (or the ball’s release point)
3. Ball’s flight path
4. Left upright
When those line up, left/right becomes a pure binary judgment with almost no parallax. Any significant offset (sideline angle, pure end-zone camera that is centered on the middle of the goalposts, or a high-and-wide broadcast shot) introduces a small but meaningful amount of depth/angle error that makes “just inside vs. just outside / over the post” harder to read.
That’s why, when a truly definitive under-the-post or perfectly aligned behind-the-kicker view isn’t available (as was the case on the ESPN broadcast), the next-best things are:
• Any fan or sideline angle that gets reasonably close to that line of sight (the Nanduri clip is in that category — better than the main TV feed for trajectory tracking).
• The official standing directly under the left upright, who by design is looking up the exact plane that matters.

The further you go back and right of the kicker, the more it’s going to look like it was inside of the post.
You’d be correct if this was a center kick from the center of the hash marks. This is a kick towards the left goal post from the right hash. That’s the line of sight you want.

To me this is the best angle other than the ref’s. Camera, kicker and goal post all lined up. Kicker thought he hit it.

I’m back and forth on it. This one looks a lot more like he made it.

America first. Fine.
A moral objection to sending weapons that are killing young people. Fine.
But he needs to pick one. Don’t use America First for convenience.

He should have stuck with his first response because what came after that was bullshite. He’s going to criticize those for not having a solution yet he doesn’t offer one either. Now if his solution is to give up on Ukraine then he should just come out and say that.

• The post shares video footage from Mackay, Australia, showing the “train” of the first 26 Starlink V3 satellites shortly after deployment by Starship Ship 41.
• This linear chain of bright objects is typical for freshly released satellites before they spread into their operational orbits, and viewers note they appear more visible than prior Starlink versions.
• The deployment occurred on Starship’s first successful orbital flight (Flight 14) on September 28, 2026, delivering operational payloads with each V3 satellite offering over 1 Tbps capacity.
