Considering the tone of the board lately, I was a bit apprehensive clicking on such a title



Go Hogs! Beat Auburn!

[hoginator]

Wow...

[Dark Helmet Hog]

Why isn't the media all over this?

[WilsonHog]

That's damn curious.

[The Hawg Marshal]

Why isn't the media all over this?

I think they are.

[theFlyingHog]

If nothing else, it means more traffic for HV

[BorderPatrol]

Uh oh...

bp

[Dark Helmet Hog]

I think they are.

I hope so. I haven't seen it.

[TechHawg]

Wow. Seriously. This better be investigated. It could explain why it seemed Alabama's defense knew what play we were going to run.

[The Hawg Marshal]

Jim Harris tweeted the video of the guy making hand signals. So they are looking into it.

Good!

We were posting it up in two different locations at the same time. He did his via twitter... I put Hogville's up on Youtube.

[The Hawg Marshal]

We need to get this in the hands of all the major sports reporters until one of them runs with it.

[arkfan81]

If sec said there was any wrong doing, what would happen?

[thebignasty]

Sketch.

[Atlhogfan1]

I think the question is will media outside of Arkansas pay attention and if they aren't will someone try and make them? 

To me, it looks like the guy's eyes cut to Bielema as he starts his hand gestures to see if he is being watched. 

[Hogeration]

Do these guys normally use the visitor sideline for recording?  Is there one on each sideline? 

[Karma]

I think it means Collins up the middle for 2 yards.

[20hog11]

The fact that people aren't even considering this is what's really puzzling. How is it ok for a guy with a mic to be recording on the sideline and then sending signals towards the field and or the opposite sideline. I really hope something comes from this cause it just isn't right, but all people want to talk about is Bielema and his dance.... There's a bigger issue and it seems the majority of the people don't even care.

[Porked Tongue]

If he hung so close to BB's back like he was in this video, I'd bet there are more shenanigans to see.

Video works both ways.

That's what blew me away this morning when a national sports reporter on a local radio show said the SEC should give CBB a 1 game suspension for his actions. Really? How about the SEC figure out why someone without NCAA permission is VIDEOING the visiting team's sideline? The tail wags the dog...

I believe there was more than one shooter at Dealey Plaza but I would say that's an equipment malfunction with the operator trying to get the attention of someone who can help him.

[widespreadsooie]

Haha I mean you can't tell anything from that. There were plenty of cameras rolling in that stadium Saturday night. If this guy were sending signals all game we would have had better evidence than a three second YouTube clip come up before now.

[InHOGuration Ball]

We would need evidence of an equipment malfunction to prove that theory, although it is a legit possibility.  Why did the dude cut his eyes to BB right at the start of his signals....hmmm.    And then he looked around a player to see if the signal receiver saw his signal.   Who is the signal receiver on the opposite side of the field?

[The Hawg Marshal]

 




You may be right, but I think it needs to be looked in to. You never know.

[BadHog]

This happened at the 5:12 mark, first half. Hogs are 2nd and 10.

[Lanny]

I have no idea what the signals mean, could be he is communicating with the other camera guys.

The question I want explained is why is he allowed to video record the Razorbacks sideline, we know he did record the Razorback sideline and we demand answers why this was allowed.

[The Hawg Marshal]

Yep this may lead to nothing , but it at least needs to be looked in to.

[Ex-Trumpet]

I think it means they're only down a field goal.

[Mulberry Squeezins]

I'm certainly not a tech person, but that big round thing in his hand is a microphone isn't it?  Is it possible that he could use that to eavesdrop on the communication between Bielema and the coaches in the booth?

[Hogarusa]

It means "hello" or "over here"

[theFlyingHog]

It means "hello" or "over here"

"Hi mom!!"

I would imagine he's signaling to another member of the production crew.  Presumably someone who is doing the exact same thing on the Bama sideline.  But if he were involved in some sort of sign stealing system set up by Bama what information could he reliably convey?  Any hand signals would have to have a predetermined meaning.  What beneficial message could you give that would be worth this type of cover up?  The only thing that comes to mind is a fake punt and this was at a different point in the game.

If this guy does this several times throughout the game there might be something to it.  But to me it looks like a guy trying to communicate with his crew members.

The person in question is reported to live in Tuscaloosa. In a large conspiracy it would not be out of the question for him to be signalling to a coach. He could have simple signals, run or pass. I'm guessing some of our military brethren could tell us a surprising amount of info can be passed via hand signals

This is also the guy that recorded the "flop".

What does a Microphone Boom Operator need with a recording via a mobile device of anything on the sideline, especially if he's supposed to be WORKING?

He sure does wiggle like a fish

[jgphillips3]

I'm pretty sure those signals mean: "I was going to signal you what plays they are going to run but they seem to still be doing the same damn thing over and over that hasn't worked so can I just go get a pizza?"

That said, it is interesting if this guy videoed Bielema on the flopaloola dance.

According to the photos, the guy who recorded BB was wearing blue jeans. This guy is in shorts. Both of these guys were on the UArk sidelines throughout the game.

Good catch. I saw a pic of the guy in jeans and he looked to be a little fatter. This guy looks like he is in pretty good shape

[HawgLife4Eva]

How is the media not all over this?

This is way more deceptive than deflating footballs, filming the practice of other teams, etc. We are talking about stealing plays from an opposing sideline and signaling them in while a game is in progress.

[NuttinItUp]

Very suspicious...

I'd like to hear what Bielema has to say about it.

[hogfan870]

Sseeiously, if this guy's job to get audio of the "pads popping" type sounds to enhance the broadcast - which is what I have always thought those guys are for - why is he standing behind a bunch of people that would block the sound? He is either cheating or performing really poorly at his job - or both.

[radar]

It would be extremely flattering to Bielema for hog fans to believe bama would feel the need to steal signals, in order to win the game...

[sickboy]

Don't flatter yourself. Saban probably steals signals off every coach.

[JoeyCapital]

Wasn't Saban Belichecks DC at Cleveland?

The lessons you learn early stick with you...

[BartIV]

Was he throwing the A?

[JIMMY BOARFFETT]

So, that's what Saban meant when he said, "We stopped their little fake punt play...which we knew about."

[LA Football fan]

The hand signals could very well mean - hey I got the mic pointed directly at Bret, can you clearly hear what he is saying?
