FOX Sports - COLLEGE FOOTBALL - Pac-10 suspends officials for one game (http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/story/5979210?FSO1&ATT=HMA)
....YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!! OU HAD A CHANCE TO WIN THAT GAME WITH A FIELD GOAL...OREGON 1up'd them and now they want it removed from the RECORD BOOK NO OFFENSE TO ANY OU FAN BUT THAT IS BEING A SORE FRIGGIN LOSER! If thats the case why don't the Redskins call for games where the refs made bad calls against us back!?!? Am I the only one that thinks the Sooners are being sore losers!?!? Who else watched that game? I know im not alone here (actually I tivo'd it I had a game at that hour too LOL)

they've got a legitimate beef cuz not one but 2 replays were botched that allowed Oregon the opportunity to take the lead. I don't think the lose should be removed but I also don't think the writers and coaches should count it as a loss if Oklahoma somehow wins the rest of their games. Those kids shouldn't be punished cuz the replay official wasn't given the same video footage that everyone else saw at home. all around it was a pretty big screwup but it's not the end of the world like some OU fans & staff r making it out to be.

I AGREE THERE SCREAMING LIKE IT WAS A MURDER! lol But yeah you can't really argue when your team tried to take the game with a field goal..and plain and simple It got blocked by a very good special teams! They lost, so what if there were bad calls...at la verne we get bad calls all the time...do you think our coach whines to the front office of the NCAA or our league representative!?!? Yet OU is asking for the loss to be removed and these refs who gotta put food on the table somehow to lose their jobs its wrong!
On a off topic note there was some questionable calls in all divisions last week!!!! Now you guys tell me if this was questionable on defense last week I was in at free saftey the other team ran a sweep play that got alot 32 yards and I got a great hit (you know it was a good one when the coach nods his head despite the fact you got called for a penalty) I got called for unnescesary roughness cause supposedly the RB was already outta bounds....I didn't hear a whistle what do you guys think was I wrong!?!?

the thing is though if even one of those relatively easy to determine replays had gone the correct way, there would have been no need for a field goal by OU. They shouldn't have been put in a position to have to kick a field goal by the officials correctable mistakes so it being blocked has no bearing on the matter. like I said it isn't the end of the world but this is the first time in quite a while there is indisputable video evidence that supports someone's beef that they got jobbed.

The refs are allowed to make mistakes on the field, but the instant replay guys should have had the right calls... not only did the oregon player touch the ball before the sooner did, but the oklahoma guy recovered it. It was a pretty egregious mistake.
At the same time, I think the OU staff and administration are taking this a bit far. When the damn president of the university sends a letter crying conspiracy, then it's time to take a step back... like isn't the president suppose to focus on menial things, such as maybe... academics and research direction???
Also, the OU response isn't really quelling the fanbase at all- these refs and instant replay guys are getting death threats... it's just a freakin' game! During last season's Rose Bowl, Vince Young obviously made an illegal forward lateral(knee on the ground) that directly led to a score. Now this is the national championship game that we're talking about. Yet you didn't hear the Trojan nation or Pete Carroll asking for Texas to return the crystal. We've moved on and so should OU.
