Angles never bothered me. Straight on was hard enough. Oh wait, I am forgetting some game at Oklahoma in 1992. I was a bit upset with that official that day. Now I know that it was the correct call but that didn't help my helmet that day. It is said that there were two people in the entire stadium that day that thought the kick was no good, an official and Gary Gibbs. The next year the NCAA narrowed the in-bounds marks by about 2 yards and automatically reduced the angle possible. You can also see who thinks they can "intimidate" a call out of an official by who is using the short goal posts. It is not a cost issue to a major college football team to have short uprights as opposed to tall uprights but it does provide more room for judgement by an official if they are short. Oklahoma, and others, had short uprights for many years when most other teams had tall uprights.
