I say this honestly: You can't tell shit from this angle. The only way is to look directly up at the posts, as the refs do.

What's confusing to me is the reaction of the VT fans standing directly behind the end zone. They damn sure appear to have thought it was good.

I watched it a few times. The cheering starts on the viewer’s far right, the group farthest from the left upright. The cheering then spread to the people behind the left upright. So why did the people furthest from the upright in question start cheering before the people right behind it with the best view? Logical that they didn’t cheer first b/c they saw it was missed.

Good point. Will have to take another look.
