ACC Replay Booth Live: Hope SEC adopts soon

[terraceparkvol]

Have watched a few ACC games including tonight's FSU/UVA game and I think ACC is on the leading edge with this live replay booth with central command talking live with on field referees. Very efficient, clear and timely decisions being made with good camera work. Hope SEC will adopt soon and will be interesting to see given the SEC usually protects the refs ex last week's Oklahoma/Auburn game. Transparency on the calls would be nice.

In addition, not sure what others think but while an all-in Vol fan and long time season ticket holder, I wish we could see more replays on our Jumbotron even if it's a good play by our opponent or controversial call. We only show our scores or calls we think should go our way. It's not going to change the outcome by showing what the refs, TV or central command is already viewing.

Go Vols, beat State!

I personally don't like it, feel it takes away from the suspense.

I don't like that kind of suspense.

The ACC replay booth was efficient and produced sound results. The SEC needs to adopt this kind of transparency.

No way....SEC couldn't cheat and get away with it.

 

[Eastknox865]

I'm just glad FSU lost

 

[Volintheswamp]

I like it. I think it makes it harder for either team or fans to complain about biased refs and allows for transparency during controversial calls.

We definitely need this for SEC play AND the playoffs. Transparency is key. Especially when the SEC is apparently not gonna spend the money to hire and train FULL TIME refs for their BILLION dollar league so they suck from time to time. Makes it even more necessary to have and use the replays as well as letting it be live on the broadcast

 

[Rickyvol77]

The Big XII does it too. I like it a lot but I don't think you will ever hear a live broadcast exchange from the refs in Birmingham and the SEC refs on the field lol.....for reasons.....

 

[carolinaviking]

Definitely one of the best games of the season, and the play review was very cool! Then the storming of the field...awesome!

I would rather have refs be forced to watch clips of the game feed on Sunday and explain why they did or didn't make calls... like how did you happen to miss those 27 blatant holding penalties on Georgia?

Agree this should happen too! In addition to copycatting the ACC replay booth live feed.

They just need to shorten the time it takes overall. I rember when the XFL broke the internet with how efficient they are with the reviews. Seconds and it's over.

 

[Just a VolinTears]

It was one of the best "new" things I've seen in CFB in a while. It just makes it all seem a little bit more understandable. I like it

 

[ftsandersvol]

All that does is make sure the refs can only sway the game the way they want by calling/not calling penalties that are not reviewable. Case in point, the no call on the obvious Florida State pass interference on the Virginia WR toward the end of the game.

SEC not interested in transparency
Just want the blue blood teams to come out on top....Go Vols!!!

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

All conferences and every sport with replay needs to go to this transparency. Very refreshing.

The pro sports need to do the same.

I have no problem with the time they take as long as they get it right. The call on the bobble in the endzone during the FSU game didn't take too long and was the correct call.

 

[HooahVol]

I am in the camp of liking it too. Since SEC refs are the worst in the conference I would like to hear how they think.

 

[driscokid]

You can thank The Rock. It started in his UFL and in my opinion is a great idea. NFL needs to do it too

 

[SDV]

Agree. Big fan

 

[EZE]

I agree, OP, I like hearing the analysis behind the decisions.

 

[Alto1]

I like it.
Transparency is always a good thing.
Only the corrupt don’t want transparency.
SEC what say you????

 

[obxvol]

That was cool to see. Felt very transparent.

As a fan who LOATHES replay, I'm all for any changes that stop interrupting the flow of the game. The current system is maddening, and still error prone - it's like eating new food that tastes worse, and still isn't nutritious.
