Instant replay ??

In Texas, where high school football is religion, instant replay in the biggest games is a necessity

College Station would not have scored that first touchdown if replay was used. The runner lost the ball before he or the ball crossed the goal line. :helmet:

Fun to think about but more of a fantasy than reality. Will never happen. Replay is only possible when you have 20 or so cameras covering the game (paid camera men) and more paid positions on the editing side. (Plus an added ref) In the NFL and now college (DI only I believe might be wrong on that) there are sometimes upward of 20 million hanging on the line (bowl games etc) I doubt one HS program in Texas breaks even on their athletic programs I actually doubt MOST ever break even on football alone. It actually COSTS the schools more money to win state than to go 0-10 lol. Jerry J gets PAID for the UIL to use his stadium not the other way around (I know most already know that) I think more importantly to add more officials in the playoffs (I think they've done that some when they can) the saying "don't fix it if it ain't broke" applies here it ain't "THAT" broke. IMO. Yes there are some blown calls but I think it usually evens itself out these are accountants and bankers calling these games (also known by all here I know). My funny story about officiating once I officiated a HS basketball game (an eventual NBA player involved from Arcadia La) by the end I was so frazzled lol once there was an out of bounds call everything stopped they all looked at me and I said "guys I HAVE NO IDEA" lol. One player volunteered "it was out on me" haha. And I played basketball in HS lol.

Not sure about now but back in the 70s, with all the huge playoff crowds, the football program made money.


In 2017 the number of people attending PNG playoff games is a fraction of the old crowds, with less money going into the coffers.

The gate from the state championship game won't pay all the bus drivers for the season. . Season ticket sales at PNG (the best draw in the state if not nation) pays for 4-5 tubas lol. Fortunately PNG has 13-14 and they look pretty new. Haha.
