Do we use volunteers to run that thing? I know it is new, but it seems the errors are because someone doesn't know when to start or stop it.

The clock didn't run on a couple of plays in the 1st half. The play clock never started on a few plays. And the down and yardage was a mystery all game. This needs to be fixed before the Kansas game.

Considering the board was not operational until Friday, I'm sure that any issues were lack of training and familiarity with the technology.

At some point, one has to concede that somebody was not good at their assigned task.

It is a nerve wracking experience, especially for a freshman in high school and we had a very simple set up. I would assume the new system has a lot more bells and whistles to it and whoever is running it probably has a fairly big instruction manual. With so little time to prepare, I would hope that inexperience played a huge part. However, it is a faceless job for the most part. When things go right, no one is starting a thread on here on what a good job was done, but when things go wrong....lol. By the way, I did not catch Lou's comment, "tackled by a boatload of pirates" but I think should win the 'cool saying of the week' award.

Us up in the tower club were laughing when the referee wound the clock after an incomplete pass. He was probably trying to make up for the times the clock didn't start. O.K., I'll give some slack to the new system and need for training, but this reminds me of the old joke. Q -"How do I get to Carnegie Hall, sir?" A -"Practice, practice, practice." We have 12 days.

I was just waiting for the red to snap but he remained calm and professional all 20 times he had to chat with the operator.
