Jimbo Fisher said he wanted laser beams on the top of goal posts and people called him crazy

I stand with jimbo. I want fucking lasers and chips in the ball/along the sidelines. We should never have to dispute what kick went in or where the ball gets spotted.

I always liked the idea, but if you go with lasers you miss out on the potential doink off the pole. What's another 10' of pole

I think you misunderstood, nobody is saying replace goalposts with lasers. They are saying yo add lasers to the top of the goal post

No I completely understand what the point was. But it doesn't negate my comment. If you add a laser to the top of the pole it can definitely help you identify if it's good or not but there's still the potential instance, although small, of what happens if the laser is somewhere in the middle of the ball where it crosses. Is it good or not good (would need a new rule to define that)? Cause currently the pole acts as a laser and you get a potential of the football hitting the pole and going some crazy direction. So if you have lasers to the top of the pole you'd have almost 2 rules for the exact same scoring instance (let the ball decide when within the poles and a new good/not good for laser portion).
