Here is a story on the crew that worked the Texas A&M/Oklahoma St game.

Love the following lines...

Of all the comments, jibes, analysis and gossip discussed by Novak's crew, the one comment that best captures how they view their work came as the men plopped down in their locker room at halftime.

Taylor, to no one in particular, asked, "What's the score, anyway?"

It's a question I always have to ask as well.

I too have had to ask, who is winning?  Sometimes I have to even remind myself who is playing, because all I know for sure is one team is white and one is red.

Very good article & video - thanks for signalling.

One question (and accept apologies for ignorance) what does it mean and who's referring to when is talking about the "red hat"  ?

The red hat is the TV commercial timeout coordinator.  They signal the crew when a TV timeout needs to be taken.  They also communicate how much time is left in the TV timeout and when the TV timeout is over.

Those hats look goofy.

Trying to fix something that's not broken.
