re: I had no idea we had a dept of 13 filming the football program

The Auburn review had a segment on the football film department. Five cameras during practice. All the film from games from the networks, all angles.

You want to see any opponent, any individual you will play against, all their games.

Coaches want to meet after practice to review things, they have all camera angles migrated and ready to queue within 15 minutes of the end of practice.

Quite impressive.

Id love to see something similar on how they organize recruiting...but I highly doubt that would be divulged. However, if that much detail is given to film, I can only imagine the recruiting dept and responsibilities.

Given Mike Rogers is an Auburn alum, perhaps the NSA could assist

I saw that segment and was laughing when I saw how they got their memory cards down to the staff.

Where the cameras were filming high above in the stadium, they would use a rope with the memory card placed inside a tennis ball with a slit in it to protect it, encased in a plastic bag attached to the rope that was then sliding down the rope to the guy inside putting the film on the memory card into his laptop....

That was funny, all this technology but using rope, tennis ball and plastic bag.
