    War Memorial Stadium should be called War Memorial Football Field. if you can't hang a Skycam in there without hitting the cables with two punts then you can't really call it a stadium.

    I'm not a fan of these bells and whistles camera shots to begin with, and I don't see what great purpose they serve. Just give me a plain vanilla sideline shot to see what's going on.

    I was about to plant my foot through the TV on those ridiculous "red zone" skycam shots. It's totally necessary since that whole 20 yd-line to the end zone thing is a really tough concept to grasp. :rolleye33:

    I was actually just about to say that that extended timeout after a change of possession really helped us lose some of our momentum. We had just driven down the field and scored a TD with JJ looking very sharp. Our defense goes and gets a 3 and out. Then we get this ridiculous break that allowed arkansas to regroup.

    That along with the phantom "push in the back" penalty on that same drive really killed our offensive momentum and we couldn't get it back.

    Then again our offense is horrible and if we scored tds in the 3rd quarter instead of FGs we have a tie at the end so..
