Lending Tree Bowl Final: Louisiana 27, Miami 17

[Oiler]

LOL Tech's bowl was ranked last, due to boredom.

The LaTech/Miami Hurricane game was boring, but if we're honest, most of us would have rather drawn the Hurricanes over the Redhawks in our bowl game. Boring or not, LaTech walked away with another P5 scalp.

When we played A-State a few years ago and there was a reversal which gave us the win I learned something that came in handy when talking about that fumble/non fumble.

When you are watching the officials talking with the replay booth, watch the official standing next to the ref. If he starts writing stuff down, there's a reversal coming. They are writing down the spot and the time that should be on the clock. We couldn't tell on replay, but when the guy started writing stuff down, we called it in the booth that the play would be overturned.

Thanks to you, first thing I said when I saw the guy holding the notepad was we're getting the ball back.

I don't understand why ESPN never showed the angle (at least I didn't see it) from the endzone that clearly showed it was a fumble.

I saw that angle from the end zone once and it was a very brief look. I thought that angle showed the fumble but wasn't sure they would overturn the call based on that brief replay.

Their fan site has gazillions pages for this topic.. Perhaps you can educate them lol

I went explain it, someone thought it proved their point.

Seems there is some history between the replay official and Miami.

He was an assistant coach for one year in 2009 but left to South Florida. I don't know the circumstances of his departure. Not a good look for him to be officiating but it was ten years ago.

And we would have beaten them to a pulp and everyone would've be on Duval street at halftime. Let's just enjoy they victory. We beat the Real Miami.

My review of the game day experience.

they showed it about 3 times , but never focused on that view. i would guess the tv replay guys take their cue from the announcing guys. when i said the overturn was the correct call, this was the view i had seen.

sure we would have, but it doesn't benefit them any more than if they played the Miami team we played. they have hit their ceiling.

I don't know nothin' about tv sports production, b ut I would htink that the director is calling up the replays used, and the announcer' respond accordingly. I think the director has better access to all of the cameras than do the anoouncers. Just a guess.

I watched both games and although it’s difficult to compare teams that don’t share the field the Red Hawks looked to be way more complete than the Hurricanes.

I’m over the whole Canes / Red Hawks discussion. It’s been pretty quiet on this board from the Tech side and you have to ask yourself why. Had we laid an egg Monday night they would have made the off season a nightmare on here. Take a deep breath...we are on the cusps of greatness!

Louisiana is SBC runner up and MAC Champion.

The veritable MAC scalp is on the Sports Mantle.
