A few things i noticed today regarding the overall game operations at the Campbell game.
1. The clock operator was asleep at the wheel all day today. The white hat had to ask the clock to be reset numerous times today. WCU needs to replace this person with someone who will pay attention and that understands football.
2. The video board production team 100% dropped the ball. No replays. Promotion graphic overlays didn’t match the sponsor reads. At one point, the production truck display was actually on the board. It was a very bad look.
3. I noticed Event staffers (bright green shirts) sitting on the steps leading to the seats, playing on phones, etc.
I would not want to be at the next game operations meeting… however, as a long-time college sports admin, I would love the opportunity to serve as a game day consultant for my Alma Mater.

And while we’re at it, get the PA guy a spotter. Ball carrier and tackler identified (correctly) on every play. Been a problem for years

Another thing they mess up on was the lines to get food and drink. I had to wait in line the entire 2nd quarter to get a drink. The lines were wrapped around to the exit gate

The lines were wrapped around to the exit gate When I was a kid in Cullowhee they hired we middle schoolers to hawk concessions in the stands. Racks around our necks and the whole nine yards. We got a cut on each Coke and nobody missed any action.

If the Cats return to Cullowhee with a 0-4 record, nobody will be in the concession lines.

My dad has run the clock for 30 years but his granddaughter was getting married on Saturday so they had to use a replacement.

The ESPN feed was pretty bad too. Much worst then last year. The camera man lost the ball on every long pass. The clock, and down and distance were wrong most of the game. No 40 second clock.

The game clock operator is assigned by the Southern Conference...usually a game official who does not have a game that day or a retired on-field official. WCU has nothing to do with the game clock operation,,,only the scoreboard operation.
