i can handle the loss, but this is the part that is really sticking in my craw. why? because no one on the staff monitors the replay. they don't even have a monitor in the coaches' booth, and that's from coach Tressel's own mouth. it is incredibly frustrating to me to learn that our staff has not taken advantage of the replay innovation some three years after it was initiated.

How about blaming our scoreboard crew who never shows any replays during the game?

It's called a home-field advantage, we should look into it.

I agree wholeheartedly with that - even if the play is not controversial it is good to get a review of the action.

Per NCAA rules, the coaches are not allowed to have monitors in the booth.

the sidelines, press box or other locations within the playing enclosure
for coaching purposes during the game. Motion pictures, any type of

I thought it had been established the official called the play dead and so it wasn't reviewable?

Maybe I'm wrong on this, and maybe this is an NFL rule and not college, but when a play is blown down by mistake, I thought an opponent could still recover a fumble when blowing the play dead didn't make a difference in hindsight. In other words, like yesterday, the play was (maybe?) blown dead when it shouldn't have been... yet OSU was clearly going to and did recover the fumble. Nobody from Illinois had a play on the ball. If that's not the rule, it needs to be.

Also, in 2004 it became a point of emphasis for Big 10 officials to NOT blow plays dead immediately. The refs clearly blew it in that regard. That's not a judgment call... that's forgetting/ignoring a league office mandate.

I don't think thats the case but I'm not a rules guru by any stretch.

Last one like this I remember was vs Wisky in '04 when we clearly recovered a fumble but we couldn't have it because they blew it dead. Huge momentum swing in that game too.

since that is the case, i wholeheartedly agree with Thump that they need to show the replays on the scoreboard.

I know at Purdue they show almost every play on their scoreboard.

Nothing like spending millions of $$ on a scorebaord to show ONN in-game highlights that are about a quarter behind the action. :roll1:

That's the game I'm thinking of too because I thought that's where I had heard it.

are you being sarcastic? Illinois is one of the most penalized teams in the country... they averaged something like 9 penalties a game coming into yesterday's tilt.
