[OU33oregonpansies27]

I'm going to make a statement about the Oklahoma vs. Oregon game, I didn't think a bunch of monkeys humping a coconut could officiate. It seemed that the officials on the field and the review officials were doing whatever it took to get Oregon into the endzone to take the lead. When a review is called to see if an Oregon player touches the ball before it travels ten yards on an onside kick, and the officials come out with something totally different review call saying that it was a fumble or touched by an Oklahoma player. Then on a few plays later when a pass interference is called it is called to review there was not even any interference and how does a ball suddenly change trejectory? Seems to me that there should have been no official in the game and just let the teams play backyard style football. Again Oklahoma is screwed by bad officiating. I don't care if I'm just a pissed off Oklahoma fan. Oregon you got lucky. Final score IS Oklahoma 33, Oregon 27. But alas not so, to the rest of the world. Oregon hope you found some way to take pride in a victory that was handed to you by the officials. AD for Heisman!!!

Welcome to GoTeamsGo, OU33 - I'm sure there are a lot of Seattle Seahawks fans who can relate from the Super Bowl officiating. No doubt there were some pretty bad calls in the game. On the bright side, your boy Peterson still has a good chance for the Heisman though; even in the loss, he was mighty impressive. I doubt that's any real consolation, though.

I don't see how any Ducks fan can take pride in the outcome of this game. Wonder what the outcome would have been with out Pac10 officials? Even Dan Fouts could not believe that the officials didn't reverse that horrible call on the on-side kick. The to top it off how can they not see an obviously tips ball on the whatever pass interference call.
Take pride ducks 33-27 and 0-7 vs the Sooners. If you don't believe this then your blind desperate. Have some pride and admit to being handed a gift.

Welcome to GoTeamsGo, sgs, and thanks for joining us. But I'm afraid you're barking up the wrong tree here - I'm not a Ducks fan, but I'm stunned by the outcome. Despite the bad calls, you guys were in shape to win it at the end, except for the blocked kick. I've got to ask - I know that Stoops ran Peterson to set up the kick on the hash mark, but why not take a shot into the end zone in that situation?

A win is a win and its not our fault taht the officials cant make the call you want and the big turning point call on the onside kick is the view they showed was at an angle the football was either 9 or 10 yards out it was about a half a foot call at the right angle. the pass interference didn't make or break the game they could of still stoped us OU F***** up. OU had a bad game and they were lucky it was that close.

While being trapped in your... bias for Oregon, or against Oklahoma, (it doesn't really matter, either way you're still wrong), are you at all aware that Oregon didn't even recover the damn ball? On the replays I saw, it was more than conclusive that the ball had not traveled 10 yards before first being touched by a UO player. Nevertheless, that doesn't even matter. The ruling on the field was that the ball was recovered by Oregon. You will not ever find a replay where an Oregon player possesses the ball. It was recoverd by #23 of the Sooners. He picked the ball up and walked away! Look at the replay all you want. Watch the right side of the screen:

Putfile - Rip Off Call 01

A BAD ref could have easily made the right call in this situation. While the play was being the reviewed, Dan Fouts (an Oregon alumni who would understandably have a bias towards the Ducks) said multiple times that it was an easy call to make and that the ball should belong to OU. Had the fair call been made, their would have been no need for Oklahoma's defense to play another series; there would have been no Oregon touchdown or extra point try; and there would have been no need for a field-goal attempt, whether it was blocked or not. You are seriously living in a fantasy world and are only kidding yourself if you can't see that OU got royally screwed by either unfit or dishonest officials on Saturday.

"the officials cant make the call you want"

This isn't the call I want--it's the impartial, fair, and correct call to make.

[Kasey Kahne 9 fan]

The ball starts at the 35 yard line so he has to kick it to the 45 he touches it somewhere from the 44 to the 45 I looked at it twenty times thats what I see

You are either just messing with me and trying to egg me on... If you support Oregon, fine... If you want to act as blind as the referees did and try to say the ball was touched after the 10, then go ahead and be wrong; I don't care.

What you cannot deny is that OREGON DIDN'T EVEN RECOVER THE BALL! At no point did any Oregon player possess the ball on that play. Maybe you are unaware of the rules, but to recover a ball on a kickoff, you have to do more than just touch it. If you look to the right of the pile, you'll see that the ball squirted out and was picked up by an OU player. He grabbed it while on the ground, stood up, and walked away.

It seems this happens quite often to the Sooners. The officials (I have other words for them) have no conscious for what they have done. It really stinks, but this is the way it is when it comes to the Sooners. It's a shame the Sooners are so disliked by so many.
The Sooners have nothing to be ashamed of because the game was given away, they played a good and fair game.
I work for OU and will support them no matter what. BOOMER SOONER!!!

Let me offer a big welcome to all of the new Sooner fans who have joined us here at GoTeamsGo. Thanks for joining us. I imagine that was a tough game for you guys, what with all the controversy, but please remember that we do not tolerate personal attacks against other forum members.

The refs, however, are pretty much fair game as long as you keep it PG-rated!

I asked this question earlier, but know one's been able to answer it for me yet - I know that Stoops ran Peterson to set up the kick on the hash mark, but why not take a shot into the end zone in that situation? Seems like his call at the end of the game was a little too conservative for his own good, but that's just my take on it.

That ball clearly did not travel 10 yrds and was clearly touched by a Oregon player before the 10 yrd mark. The play should have been blown dead at that point and OU's ball. The replay official should be banned from college football. That was a disgrace. I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on the pass interference call, but that on-side kick call was obvious to everyone else in the world living outside the state of Oregon.

1. I did not join this site as a Sooner fan. I joined as a rational thinker who has 20/20 vision. Anyone who knows anything about college football knows that was the wrong call. You don't have to be an OU fan. As crazy as it sounds, I could probably easily find some Texas fans that agree with me.

2. There were no personal attacks: I provided an ultimatum.

3. It's not that no one has been able to answer your question, it's just that people have chosen not to because it is irrelevant to the discussion. OU should have never even been in that situation.

[Lefty Noob]

Yes, it was the wrong call, just like the Raiders - Tuck rule game. But like that and the Bartman - Cubs game incident, it was something that the team themselves could have overcome. In this case, it was a defensive stop or a field goal that was needed. Two chances to overcome the bad call and win the game anyway, neither of which succeeded. And Stoops playcalling at the end IS relevent because Oklahoma WAS in that situation and should have dealt with the situation in front of them. Put the bad breaks behind you and move on - that, dare I say, is what championship teams do.

Simply stating that a field goal or a defensive stop is needed DUE TO an incorrect call is a huge contradiction on your part. What was needed was a fair call.

I am not aware of any degree of relevance. When talking sports, relevance varies directly with the chronological order of events. If a QB fumbles the ball at his own 1 yardline, the opposing defense falls on it, and on the ensuing possession the team recovering the fumble scores a TD, it would be ridiculous to try and blame the first team's defense for giving up that TD. You would blame the QB for fumbling, or the O-line for bad protection. This is just a hypothetical scenario, but using your twisted logic, it would be the defense's fault in this scenario.

I don't need to move on. I thought I made this clear before, but apparently I haven't: I am not posting this message claiming any affiliation with the University of Oklahoma. I am not part of the team so I don't need to "move on". I couldn't care less "what championship teams do". This is what I do: if I see something that's not right, I say "that's not right", no matter whose hands the authority lies in.

[ineptOUdefense]

Lets see.....OU had first downs at the 2, 3, and 7 yard lines and failed to score touchdowns. Their defense gave up two touchdowns in the last 1:12, and they couldn't make a field goal at the end. They also had poor clock management. OU has no one to blame but themselves.

Great teams don't put themselves in positions where the officials can have an impact on the game. And if you blame the officials for losing a close game, you must blame them when you win. There were bad calls both ways, like the multiple plays that OU got off after the play clock expired, or the faux Jonathan Stewart fumble. Bottom line, Oregon still had to make plays to win the game regardless of the officiating. Oregon made those plays, and OU failed to stop it.
