Rick Neuheisel,

4 Big football games in 8 days, counting today. 3 of them featuring local teams.

Your knowledge of security cameras is obviously pretty deep. However, the one used in Shady's isn't that advanced. It's about as cheap as it gets and it's a closed circuit unit. Not to mention Lowery's white shirt looked exactly the same in the video and the picture. Also, the dark kicking figure is not even close to 6'5 240lbs.

Nah, I just know cameras in general. Here's a 4 pack of the cameras most bars would use for $180. Note the ring of LED's on the front. If you're really bored, point a TV remote control at any phone or digital camera while pushing one of the buttons, you should be able to see the LED on the screen. Your camera has an IR cut filter over the CCD, but enough gets through to show up.

Two images about 6 years ago with a Sony F828. One in NightShot mode and a Hoya R72 visible light cut (IR pass) filter, the other is normal. Both straight out of camera, ,no edits. I experimented a LOT with infrared portraiture back then, it can be highly unpredictable. Notice how SOME, but not all of the black fabric turns white?



To me, this is one of the points that the BRPD and local news people missed. Different types of cameras, completely different lighting situation. It's the shitty phone video footage that we both question. Is it really JJ? I doubt it, but NOT because of the color of his shirt.

Too lazy to read 7 pages but in case it hasn't been covered...there is a difference in cameras...i.e. cameras in a dark environment only shoot black and white due to low light...I am no camera expert but I have seen a video from a camera that due to the low light showed a shirt to be a light almost white color when I saw the person wearing a black shirt. Not saying JJ did or didn't, just my observations. FWIW the different shirts on different cameras is not a good argument.

Security camera inside the bar was lit with infrared LEDs. you can't see the light they emit, it allows the use of security cameras where low light is desirable. Most digital cameras use an infrared cut filter over the sensor because IR messes up color rendition, security cameras in bars use this technology because it is inexpensive. Other cameras outside lit by ambient neon, hg-vapor, halogen headlights, etc.

Infrared reacts differently than you might expect on some surfaces, passes directly through some fabrics (cue pervs at the beach with "night vision" video cameras), green foliage reflects IR so strongly that it renders bright white. It is possible that the "dark" pigment in JJ's shirt (or additives in his laundry detergent) rendered it white to the security camera.

But how many times have you EVER heard police get search warrants and DNA tests for a fight outside a bar? The whole thing stinks of corruption and media hype. Stupid of JJ in particular to have been there in the first place, it's tough being a celebrity in a small town... the microscope of scrutiny.

8.) Three games in the past 12 months, in Dome stadiums, on artificial turf, against good opponents.

I've been wondering the same thing.

What are the NCAA rules concerning practice sessions for post season play? (ETA, I see it now, 15 practices)

It's clear that extra workouts are an advantage to all bowl teams heading into following seasons, especially when the staff stays mostly intact year to year. I can only imagine the four or five extra practices for SECCG'S are an advantage.

On artificial turf, in a Dome, at full speed. I consider it a HUGE advantage.

Plus a full week of extra practices.

Anyone know the NCAA rules on practices for bowl games?

He had some head scratchers at Michigan State too. His MSU teams always seemed to get clobbered in bowl games as well.

Clobbered by Gerry DiNardo in 1995 (Independence Bowl). LSU's first bowl game in 7 years.

This was made into a movie starring Kathy Ireland about the time she was born.

Necessary Roughness

I just saw a clip from it on ESPN. He definitely wants that job more than any other job out there. Congrats, Michigan. I think he'll do very well for you guys.

A lot has been made of Hoke's W/L record as a head coach. Miles record as a head coach before coming to LSU? 28-21 at Okie State, he wasn't exactly lighting up the Big12, and nobody in Baton Rouge knew who he was.
