He’s sucking you in too friend. I’m telling ya, you won’t get a straight answer! 😜 When I straight asked if he thought the correct call was made but for the wrong reasons, I was told that he wouldn’t be drawn into such a ridiculous question 🤷

You can go back to my posts - that was my only question. Because all I cared about was whether the right call was made or not. You’ve had broader perspectives on the theoretical rules and the spirit of football etc etc. that’s all well and good and worth discussion at some level. But I only...

I honestly am confused what you’re referring to. They didn’t add back time because of the sync issue. They added time back because the player touched the ball before the scoreboard clock was at 0. But the broadcast clock was slightly off from the scoreboard clock causing confusion. Why would...

so is the argument now that the right call was made, but for the wrong reasons? am i following this evolution of this debate correctly?

which NCAA rule did the booth not follow?

looks like "program feed"<>"broadcast clock". Regardless, despite the nuances of what feed's technically called what. When you look at the broadcast itself, it seemed pretty obvious to a lot of people (and me) that the clock was 0 before the WMU player touched the ball. Maybe it was too close...

The problem is what's shared on the stadium and what's shared on TV screens didn't match up. I think that's now been established. So what should replay deem "correct"? It's a valid debate and not sure if there's a clear answer, or even whether replay should make that call. But replay booth used...

why would you add back time every time the broadcast clock isn't fully synced with the scoreboard clock? it doesn't affect the game itself. Edit: also, i have no idea how often this actually happens.

yes, that definitely seems to be the case. And I think that's some great karma (better late than never) for all the things going on with that program over the past few years.

I mean, we've just seen indisputable video evidence. And we also have the direct audio from the replay booth and the video they were seeing showing the same result as the video above. The replay booth had indisputable evidence. The raging dispute is many people seeing the broadcast feed not...

Sucked me back in. This is what I’ve been yelling from the top of my sad little hill….theres evidently a sync issue somewhere between either clocks or cameras and why I’ve been clamoring for a shot of both the play and stadium clock in the same frame and same camera. This second video of this...

This will be my last post on this topic since the horse has long since been beaten to death. Screenshot from the video you posted below. I've circled where the ball is. It's hard to see in the freezeframe and easier to see when you go through the video frame by frame - you can see the ball...

the shot you're showing assumes the feed showing the play and the feed showing the clock are perfectly synced. it also assumes that the clock on the bottom left is an actual video shot of the stadium clock (I'm assuming it is, but don't know for sure if it is). if you look at the video with...

so there's two separate issues here. Related, but distinct. 1) Whether the clocks used in all football games shave seconds off the game and 2) whether the clocks read 0:00 when the WMU touched the ball. Regardless of what one thinks about (1), (2) is still debatable. After going through the...

I've already gone wayyyy to deep down the rabbit hole on this thread...it truly has been fascinating. But I'm gonna go a bit deeper! It's been discussed somewhere in the caverns of this thread that the clock immediately ticking down seems to be a flaw in the clock systems. If what you're saying...
