Yup, the replay official didn't see the replays that you and I did.
You can stop with the death threats now, Soonerfan.
Bear in mind, the on-field call was blown by the same officiating crew that bailed the Sooners out time and time again, by not calling the 10 or so delay-of-games, some of which, if called, would have rendered the game a blowout, and the whole ending sequence moot.
But Soonerfan, and the rest of the country, doesn't want to talk about
that part. It happened several times, and if my memory serves, one of them was before one of OU's crucial third down conversions, which would have possibly been "game over" had the
correct call been made. Yet here sits some dweeb wanting the game stricken from the record books for
bad officiating.
That shit WAY went both ways, but since Oregon was at the recieving end of it, in a situation they never should have been in, except for blown calls, everyone wants to hang Oregon for it?
Complete bullshit.
And seriously -- if there was a fucking to be had, somebody had to be on the "giving" end of the fucking...and I challenge anyone to name a team that's gotten fucked harder by the BCS era/system than Oregon. If the calls were that much of a game-changer(they just evened out in the end), was there a team more deserving of "extra love" than Oregon? Methinks not.
The rest of the country should be happy, anyway. The media/CFB are always looking for an excuse to fuck the Ducks/PAC10, and now wehn bowl selection time comes around, they have their excuse. Thanks to the OU whiners, Oregon could run the table, and the assholes-that-be STILL would find a way to keep them out of the championship game.
Oregon played a hell of a game(as did OU), got jobbed by the refs all day long, and overcame it and won. Hell, both teams were getting hosed/assisted by the zebras all game long.
But let's keep some perspective here, rather than let it turn in to the polarized water-cooler-discussion-of-the-week... One team racked up over 500 yards of offense. Their oppnent had to settle for field goals. The refs tried, by completely ignoring the play clock on a consistant basis for
one team's benefit, to keep them in the game. Turnabout turned out to be "fair play" in the end, and the refs turned around and helped out the dominant team, who they'd been screwing all afternoon. In the end, the team that played the more efficient offense and held their opponent to FAR fewer yards, ended up winning in the end.
Get over it...the replay booth was broken....and if it was because some alum "tripped" over the cord....then RACK Ducksfan....who gets RACKed for being such a huge factor in the game, anyway.
