Did anyone notice that the OC phone on the field was labeled "OFFENCE" at the WVU game?

I was watching the game with some neutral friends and they spotted it too.... not exactly the best reflection of USF's intelligence.

That's funny, because when my friends pointed it out, I said "we still use old English." Regardless, they weren't in England anymore! And I'm not sure why the group of Americans would feel the need to change their spelling so that other Americans would know what it reads.

perhaps the bucs used Brits to label,store,clean equipment while they were there.

It's not like they travel with all that stuff to a normal game. It's probable they shipped it and had it setup on site by the locals.

Hence the English spelling of the word offence.

Bucs were on a Bye so nobody changed it.

not sure why we would even think to bring a label maker with us when using their equipment.

At RJS the phones aren't labeled.  The location of the phone denotes who it's for.  In England, it was necessary to label them.

Apis,

You seem to know everything technical. That's special.
