Vol confusion

[Politigator]

Not only were vols confused by trask passing, there were mystified by this ringing devise on the sideline. Presumably an alarm?

Up in Tennessee they still use two cans and a string.

I saw that when it happened. Was wondering if someone would pick up on it.

Nah, smoke signals

Somebody please explain why a land line ma bell touchtone would be on any sideline in 2019. Please I have to know.

 

[Pablos Tunnel]

Is it the UT turnover phone?

 

[revgator]

I think it's an Emotional Support Phone?

Its a dedicated phone line between the sideline and the box where their coaches sit. I imagine there are a few different ones so the O and D have separate lines. Instead of having to install an elaborate network that involves a PBX or CM, they can just run a copper wire between the phones and plug in power. As long as the headsets stay on the cradle voltage is kept from completing the circuit and the ringer isn't isolated off the circuit. As soon as one of the handsets is taken off the cradle, voltage is then allowed to flow through the copper to the other phone's ringer and it rings.

There is no reason at all to do anything other than what is in the photo. I am sure just about every single stadium has the same set up. It would be a waste of time and $ to do otherwise. KISS.

This is probably more the UT player couldn't tell if it was ringing or not so he put his ear closer.

Yeah I'm fairly certain every (major) stadium has landlines to the sideline. It ensures that the coaches can still communicate from the box if the wireless headsets go down.

But I am all for making fun of volunteers ... its just my ocd makes me do and say things I prolly should just let go ...

I saw him do that during the game. What the hay?

 

[GatorKen714]

I thought they used it because it's the only phone Phil Fulmer knows how to work...

 

[Okeechobee Joe]

A Vol finally got hold of a wireless phone but he couldn't figure out how his wife knew where he was every time she called him.

 

[GatorTom85]

The merits of a UT education on display...

Admitting the problem is the first step toward a cure. This follow up post recognizing the rich gift of UT ridicule inherent in this incident says there is still hope for you yet!

Wow how times have changed. This is a beaten down hopeless person. I miss the screaming and yelling when he had hope of beating the Gators.
