I'd like the other info to stay up too. (Hey, where's that guy who took the poll on how to design a clock when you need him?)

I don't mind going near the huddle and telling the teams, etc. But, any system that helps me get those friggin teams out of their timeouts and keeps the game moving I'm all for!

When they design the next scoreboard, and I'm sure the Eagle will tell us since I just know he's subscribed to Scoreboard Monthly, they ought to add just one little window for the timeout timer. They wouldn't need more than two digits.

Maybe a variation of the electronic dog collar? [I know this would be great for the coaches' boxes].

Hate 'em.

Agree. Some timers around these parts have trouble going back to the game clock when both teams are ready to rumble before the full 60 seconds have passed. I always like to see the time left in the period while picking my nose during a timeout.

You have been well trained little grasshopper. Be alive during a dead ball.
