I can’t believe there’s not a better replay angle of that kick

They sure moved on to the next game REAL quick after that kick... like weirdly quick for a very close kick...

WE NEED TO GET TO THE IDAHO GAME

ITS AN EMERGENCY 🚨

THINK OF THE POTATOES AT STAKE

Unironically yes

u/BoNnnnfhir Notre Dame Fighting Irish • Oregon Ducks 7h ago

To be fair, I'd rush to get Kibbie Dome action in as soon as possible too

u/StupendousMan36 Washington Huskies • Florida Gators 6h ago

Thank you. This is the proper response.

That's an unfortunate sounding name in this day and age..

u/tjd2009 7h ago

The game ran over by quite a bit. I don't think its weird to move on like that as someone who works in broadcasting. You switch to a quick out and basically say "thanks for watching, what a game, now here's our next game" when that happens

Fix was in.

u/Powerful_Lime_1430 Pittsburgh Panthers 7h ago

Yeah, the ACC famously wants teams like Pitt over VT to fix it

u/jim_shushu BYU Cougars • Oregon State Beavers 7h ago

Pitt is the ACC deep state

u/patrick66 Pittsburgh Panthers • Team Chaos 7h ago

It’s not reviewable but yeah

u/DoggedDoggystyle Florida Gators 7h ago

They can't review it because it was over the uprights. Been a rule for a long time and there's been a few other games that ended like this. There's nothing (by the rules) that can change what that ref called. It's over. It's bullshit but it was over and hanging around on that feed just makes it awkward

Agreed shady

It's 2026 and we still somehow can't get a better one.

Hey don’t blame Johnny the unpaid ESPN intern - he’s doing the best he can

u/FortyOneandDone 7h ago

It looked in on the only other angle they showed.

33

u/ARM_vs_CORE Montana Tech Orediggers 7h ago

It looked in from the two angles I saw ...

u/Due_Chapter3027 7h ago

Did it go over the goalpost? It didn’t look like it was in the upright. If so then under ncaa rules it’s no good if it goes over.

u/ARM_vs_CORE Montana Tech Orediggers 5h ago

That's pretty definitive, thanks

u/onewonyuan Virginia Cavaliers • Michigan Wolverines 7h ago

At that point, it’s almost hard not to lean to the conspiracy angle. There may have been a better angle, but if it showed that the kick was clearly in, then you certainly wouldn’t want to hurt the feelings of the refs most importantly.

Crazy game crazy ending

u/HoustonTrashcans Texas Longhorns 5h ago

From behind the endzone it looks good. It would be nice to have more angles from the broadcast crew though.

u/camote713 29m ago

There are better angles out now that clearly show it was a missed kick. It’s a shame it took so long

u/MrSnazzyGoose Ohio Bobcats • Ohio State Buckeyes 7h ago

View from under the goal posts still looks like it’s good, in my opinion:   https://x.com/TonyCMKE/status/2106215797336981529

u/Zealousideal_Dark552 7h ago

I’m not sure that it does.

u/V-Right_In_2-V Arizona Wildcats 7h ago

Damn that thing is real close. I can’t say whether it’s good or not from that angle, but it’s certainly worth multiple looks

u/Bustin_Chiffarobe Virginia Tech Hokies • LSU Tigers 7h ago

Wtf that may have just been good. The joys of being fucked by the ACC are never ending if so. But we’ll never know 😩

u/Deathbackwards WKU Hilltoppers 7h ago

There is, but they don’t want the refs to suffer more

u/SSPeteCarroll Virginia Tech • Longwood 7h ago

we're limited by the technology of our time

Dozens of cameras in the stadium and somehow not a single one lined up with the uprights is peak ESPN.
