Tech's done a pretty neat thing with theirs. They have physical ads on the frame while the board itself is dedicated to video. It works out pretty well.

When it's not crashed and the down markers are incorrect.

Camp Randall got a new scoreboard before the 2013 season. This was at late in the 3rd quarter of the Nebraska game this year:

I was cleaning my living room and found a 2014 PHIL STEELE PREVIEW MAGAZINE* in a stack of magazines. Let's take a look at some bowl projections:

Orange: Marshall vs Auburn
Peach: Georgia vs Michigan State
Fiesta: UCLA vs Notre Dame
Cotton: Baylor vs Oregon
#1/#4: Florida State vs Oklahoma
#2/#3: Alabama vs Ohio State
Championship: Florida State vs Alabama
Champion: Florida State

I do not expect to see a bold paragraph about how awesome he did. I mean, yeah, he did guess three of four semis teams right and Michigan State and Baylor did go to big bowls but c'mon.

Why do I buy this thing every year anyhow?

And it wasn't the guy I expected. I don't think Deontay Greenberry is getting drafted at this point.

Also Houston related, word is AD Mack Rhoades is in talks to take the same job at Missouri.

Unless Greenberry just wanted a "fresh start" to go along with the coaching change after all the other things he went through last season, I wonder who he listened to that told him entering the draft would be a good idea.

As far as Rhoades goes, his first few coaching hires were pretty poo poo but we basically hired him to get that stadium project going and he did that. If we can get another Dave Maggard to replace him, I'll be very happy.

That's the (newly constructed) south end zone.

That pic was taken right about at the corner with the Zone and the student section.

Or maybe play the score in an off Broadway version of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, along with Jackson Browne.

Yeah. It was against Tennessee in Knoxville. The radio guy marvels at Georgia's ability to stay out of flag trouble. Then a hold. Then another hold. Then a personal foul. Then a hold. Then a personal foul on the punt.

Think it ended like 4th and 57

I think it was a 3rd and 7 followed by an offsides that turned it into a 3rd and 2, then a massive gently caress up in the operator booth while another play was run for a first down.

Pretty sure Greenberry's got handlers who have been giving him poo poo advice his entire career.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
This is the last weird D&D situation I remember for VT.



Beat Nebraska by a single point, too. That first holding brought back a TD pass as well. Keep in mind Henery was the best PK in the country that year with a cannon for a leg and serious accuracy. He gave Nebraska all 15 of their points that day and basically anything else happening in that drive likely gives Nebraska the win and denies VT a great moment in program history.
