Has anybody heard why the scoreboards can't show down and distance, and yard line in the 3rd quarter? Noticed it at the last home game and today. Works just fine for the 1st, 2nd and 4th quarters. Does the scoreboard not know when halftime is over

Probably the same reason we can't show stats...

Re: Scoreboard problems
On TV they never show down and distance until a second or two before the next snap. Are they getting that from the scoreboard?
I guess I need to go back to tracking it myself like I did before they started showing it on the screen at all times 25 years ago. Technology in use for every college and pro fb game except UNI has made me lazy.GO PANTHERS!

Re: Scoreboard problems
Unfortunately on the west side, the closer you are to the field, the line of sight for the markers is difficult to see at certain points. I guess I'm conditioned like pavlov's dog to keep glancing up at the scoreboard after a play is over. Plus, our sound system is so bad I can't understand what is being said most of the time.

Re: Scoreboard problems
back in my college days I'm spent some time as a spotter in the booth, so I got used to looking at the sticks (or the markers on the other side of the field), and the sideline officials marking the spot. And I guess I never got out of the habit.
But I can definitely understand people being frustrated with it not being on the scoreboard.
and I have the same issue with the sound system.

Re: Scoreboard problems
There is a glitch in the control unit.
Unfortunately, sometimes we can unplug the unit and it reboots and sometimes not.
To the gnat's behind...........the numbers 1, 2, 3 are the problems on the unit.
