That was awesome!
Ahhhhhh good ole Poony's. Ever since the old ladies sold the place it hasn't been the same.
My Dad is from Radford and his brothers still live there. My Mom and sister both went there, dad and I went to Tech. Tonight is a really weird game for us.
Love it. Thanks for posting.
A very valid and good question.
The camera would capture the same direction that the referee's head is turned to regardless of what the ref is focused on.
please, please BEAT Radford for what they did to us on our homecourt last year!
This picture gave me an idea. The official is set up, appropriately, at the line of the kick. Why in the world don't the officials all have GoPro cameras on their heads? Just link those up wirelessly to the review booth and you'll have definitive information for just about everything. I guess NCAA/NFL want to avoid embarrassment in the case of badly blown calls. But how many times have we seen a review (goal line, for instance) where the call comes down to, "well, there's just no direct angle to tell." Here's your direct angle, folks.
Thanks, friend
That's fair. I know Radford has a handful of programs that they excel at, particularly nursing.
However, compared to universities in Virginia Radford as a whole is second rate. It's the safety school's safety school.

Rule 12-3-4-b (which is reviewable according to the section you quoted) says "Reviewable plays involving kicks include: Player beyond the neutral zone when kicking the ball"
IMO, that says that offsides on a kick is reviewable, and could have been corrected if the replay official judged it to be an egregious error.
I can't spare the time to dig more into now but the 9-yard marks are hashes 9 yards from the sideline. Sometimes the edge of the yardage numbers serve that purpose. Kickoff coverage teams must all be inside the marks when the ball is marked ready for play, and people are saying that UNC was already lined up outside the 9-yard marks when the ref signaled ready. Can't easily find video of the pre-kick setup to confirm that though.
Looks like a very Paxton Lynchish recruit. No one's paying attention to him. Fuente obviously likes something in him. Hope we can lure him away from Prarie View.

# | BUZZKETBALL CENTRAL: Virginia Tech Hokies (5-3 ) at Radford Highlanders (5-4) 7PM BigSouthSports.com Great review, thanks for the information. I will be catching it online and cheering for the Hokies!
Maybe once I used to think that we needed recruits from instate to emotionally know what beating the Hoos was all about but most of the out of state kids seem to get it too. I believe we go after the best athletes by position that fits our schemes.
This is interesting...
Limitations on Reviewable Plays
ARTICLE 6. No other plays or officiating decisions are reviewable. However,
the replay official may correct egregious errors, including those involving the
game clock, whether or not a play is reviewable. This excludes fouls that are
not specifically reviewable (Reviewable fouls: Rules 12-3-2-c and d, 12-3-4-b
and 12-3-5-a).
In the NCAA Replay Rulebook, the replay official has the authority to correct egregious errors. Does this offsides decision fall under an egregious error?
I think Radford is an awful institution
Sorry, I disagree. Radford has some great programs, and they offer programs that Tech doesn't even have. Case in point: I want to go into physical therapy, and after talking to MANY physical therapists or people with knowledge on the subject, they said go to Radford OVER Tech. Tech's program isn't as good and Tech doesn't even offer a graduate program for physical therapy. Radford also has a great nursing program and Athletic Training program. Tech is superior in a lot of ways, but to say that Radford is an awful institution is downright wrong.
This made me laugh out loud. Cheers.
again, if that flag hadn't been thrown, Clemson would've suffered because of two bad / missed calls favoring UNC on the same play.
Also, I don't think UNC was going to pull off the comeback victory, but of course every talking head presumes that is what would have happened if UNC wasn't called offside.
Finally, I couldn't care less what Clemson fans think of the situation, probably because my opinion of them can't really get any lower :)
Yeah - we beat Georgia Tech!
PORKCHOP SANDWICHES!

# | Is There Any Chance Kendall Fuller Comes Back Next Year? Negative on the drinks but it was Matt Miller from Bleacher Report so take that as you will. Also had Fuente's own Paxton Lynch going No. 1 to the Browns.
emphasis ----> UNC should've also been called for illegal formation for the player lined up outside the 9-yard mark and flagged for the targeting hit on the Clemson player attempting to recover the ball.
This is an interesting argument that I haven't seen elsewhere.
2 dumb questions: 1) Can you explain the illegal formation? I'm not sure what you mean by "outside the 9-yard mark". 2) Would the targeting penalty, if called, have actually given possession to Clemson or resulted in a re-kick? I was under the assumption that such a penalty would be tacked on after the result of the play, therefore no replay of the down. Since the Clemson player had not yet gained possession, I don't see how the officials could assume he would've secured the ball and award him the ball.

# | BUZZKETBALL CENTRAL: Virginia Tech Hokies (5-3 ) at Radford Highlanders (5-4) 7PM BigSouthSports.com PSA: The women's team is also playing at 7 tonight at home to continue their red hot 7-1 start! Support one of the teams if you can!
However, UNC was still lined up illegally (uncalled), then committed an uncalled targeting foul on the Clemson player recovering the ball to knock it loose.
In the end, this only fuels the fire of the poor ACC refereeing this year.
To your point, had none of the calls been made (offsides, targeting, formation) UNC recovers, scores, eventually wins the game, I imagine that Klempson fans would be analyzing the targeting and illegal formation non-calls just the same. It's how we operate.
Sorta, just a little, reminds me of Jessco White.
