Ucla absolutely deserved the beatdown today with Lavin coaching the football team, but even you must admit the calls you get in that stadium are bordering on the rediculous....ball spotting, replays, unbelievable....beyond unbelievable.....

I refuse to believe it.
Yeah, but this was to a new level............................................
since the Oklahoma game.

Is this in regards to the fumble/first down reviewed play?
If so, you put WAY too much stock in the crap coming out of the announcers' mouths. That one dude...and I feel silly that I can't think of his name, but the guy who was making a fool out of himself on the TV...that guy...
Anyway, that guy really needed to shut up. It was clearly not a fumble(and never should have been called that way in the first place), and despite the atrocities coming out of Dipshit's mouth, the ball spot was really close to where it should have been. Dipshit's estimation was based upon where Stewart's knee went down, not where the nose of the ball was. Don't know about you, but I prefer announcers who actually have a clue as to the rules on things like ball-spots, and other fairly important parts of the rulebook. What a moron that fool was -- "There, you see his knee go down...the ball should be spotted at the 34!" Uhm...dude...his knee hit the 34...he was (obviously) extending the ball towards the sticks as he went down...got almost another yard on the stretch...resulting in the refs spotting it at the 33...duh. I thought they gave him an extra couple of inches or so, which did actually make the difference on possesion...granted.
You need to keep in mind that the yellow line on the TV was off by quite a bit, which is uncharacteristic of the yellow line, but the chains tell the true story.
The ball spot wasn't off by more than about 6 inches, max. Bitch about ABC's placement of the yellow line.
Regardless, UCLA stunk it up, but Oregon was doing their very very best to keep them in the game. The turnovers must stop.
Oh, and on topic...I won't deny that the Duck's home-cooking is a little better than most. Maybe if other teams had crowds that sported the same level of enthusiasm and energy, they'd get the zebras to see things their way a little better, too. BODE U&Lers.

I got 99 problems but the 'vid ain't one
Yup.Maybe if other teams had crowds that sported the same level of enthusiasm and energy, they'd get the zebras to see things their way a little better, too. BODE U&Lers.
Same deal, watching the Auburn-Florida game. The stadium is just rocking. The fans are together, going berzerk. It's awesome.
Watching the USC game, christ, the Coliseum crowd might as well be a Michigan or Texas crowd, it's that subdued.
It's like 90,000 Laker or Dodger fans. Besides the team on the field the building itself must be a factor 'cause otherwise I just can't explain USC's home winning streak. They have no real home field advantage, not in terms of the crowd noise.
