OU was up 33-20 with 3 min left. Oregon scored to make it 33-27. With a minute left, they attempted a must recover onside kick. It never went 10 yards and was touched clearly by an oregon player. The call stood and oregon drove down the field to score. The announcers kept taking shots at the reviewing crew and kept reminding us how incredibly awful the call was.
Sadly for OU that would be a B12 crew on the field, but a PAC10 crew in review boothe. Let me just say down through the years in these big intersectional games where PAC10 officals have the call...some strange homer type calls have been made.
hmmm <t>i actually didn't care who won this game BUT<br/> <br/> the contact was right before the 10 yard mark, there is no disputing that. However, it appears that contact was quite possibly simultaneous. Oklahoma played that ball and the only thing that has us splitting hairs is this garbage instant replay system. (so much for speeding up the game).<br/> <br/> in any year prior to this, the ruling on the field would have stood.<br/> <br/> say what you want about the Pac10 refs but it was the Big12 refs on the field that ruled that thing a legal play.<br/> <br/> It is now up to the review team to PROVE WITHOUT A DOUBT that the team on the field is wrong. They couldn't do that because it was quite possible that the OU (as opposed to UO) kid touched it.<br/> <br/> If you were to say that call is blown, it was blown by refs from BOTH conferences.</t>
I wonder if Scott will make any adjustments for this bad call in the contest and causing me to not have a perfect day! :lol: Don
Interference call too <t>Corey, the interference call was close too. It sure looked like the ball was tipped at the line. Both were close calls, OK didn't get either one. Tough loss.</t>
OU was hosed plain and simple. I don't buy the "if they would have just sucked it up and did the next play right that they would have won theory". With replay review how does the offsides kick not get overruled? I didn't see the rest of the game so were there other bad calls earlier that went against Oregon? In any event with review available these things shouldn't happen.
Yes.... <t>It was as bad as it gets and even tops the hosing OU got in Lubbock last year when they won that game and were screwed at te end. The sad thing about this one was it was not even close. The Oregon kid touched the ball on the 36. The clowns in the booth that made the decisions should be fired on the spot. Dan Fouts was outraged and should have been. That was as close to the "fix" being in as I have seen. <br/> <br/> A. Peterson was off the charts in this game. SADLY I switced the ND debacle to my second TV and put the OU game on the big screen HD. An ugly Saturday for me.</t>
One of the problems was that the camera wasn't on the 45 yd. line. All the views were from angles that didn't allow the replay official to definatively see that the touch was before 10 yds. It's like viewing a questionable TD without the benefit of a goal line camera. BTW I had turned off that game and was stunned by the final score.
No sorrow here for the Goomers, I have come to thoroughly dislike Bob Stoops over the years. People give him way too much credit. Nobody notices that he got blown out in 2 NC games, blown out in a B12 championship game by KState, lost to nobody Okie State a couple of times to end what had been promising seasons. OU cheats more than anybody in college football in recruiting to boot.
wait a sec <t>whoa whoa whoa whoa<br/> <br/> <br/> the fix? excuse me but the fact that there is now video replay does not excuse the on field officiating crew from doing their duties.<br/> <br/> THE BIG 12 OFFICIATING crew on the field made the same ruling. In order for it to be overturned, there must be clear evidence that the call on the field was incorrect. I saw the replay and honestly, that ball could have been hit by either of them.<br/> <br/> But to put this all down as a "Pac10 fix" when it was the Big 12 refs on the field who made the same exact call is just silly.<br/> <br/> The review booth doesn't make the call. The onfield officials do. The review is only to be used to reverse a clear error. This was not a clear error. The ball was touched early, yes. However, it is a collision between an OU and UO player in which it was tough (for me at least) to tell exactly whose arm was who.<br/> <br/> IF the Big12 got cheated, they cheated themselves.<br/> <br/> If this game was played with last year's rules. Their wouldn't have been a clamour for either the onsides or the pass interference call. They just would have been made (by Big12 refs) and we would have gone on.</t>
Check out this video clip. It looks like the ball glances off the helmet of #19 from Oklahoma, although he does get pushed into it from behind by a Duck. BTW, I'll take Miss Bouncy Bouncy down later on. I recognize she's of marginal taste for an avatar.
8) I think that...wait a sec......I was going to...exqueeze me one moment... That dog-gone BDR has me distracted with something... Oh! I remember where I was. Yesterday we saw USC beat Nebraska, Oregon beat Oklahoma and Arizona State beat Colorado. Nearly every Pac10 team won and nearly every Big12 team lost, but by this time next week, all of that will have been forgotten. Once again we'll hear how "easy" the Pac10 is...
