Why did we choose to not use the in-helmet radios?

[Ranger12]

Why we chose not to use something that I could only see would help? Especially when the other team is choosing to use them and could only be seen as an advanage because they stay on the whole time. I am reading that none of the SEC teams are using them during the bowls and while CHF is on record he likes the idea, he mentioned it was an "above me" discussion, but I have not seen anything that it was a mandate from the SEC office to not use them.

I do want to add that I don't think that is why we are getting destroyed at the time I am posting this. We are getting beat for many reasons right now. I just don't understand not utilizing something that give an obvious advantage to the other team to start the game.

From what I heard, there just wasn’t enough time. We had guys out for multiple practices due to the flu. CHF said he was out recruiting and did not think they had time to properly learn to use it.

Helmet radios???  Wouldn't all that hippity hoppy music blasting in their ears be a distraction?

Bamer didn't need any damn radios. They was running it straight up the gut come hell or high water.

I don’t think AU coaches had anything to say.  Radios would have been a waste.

Thorne:”10-4 good buddy I got you loud and clear, who can I throw low and behind to next time, come on.”

Maybe if we'd have gone with burner phones instead of helmet radios.
