I wonder if anyone at Oklahoma thought of the possible reprocussions of their ref bashing? I might just be guessing but I bet refs talk to one another. When accused of bias, or downright cheating by everyone from the Oklahoma president down to the death threat making fans, the refs might just hold a little grudge.

At least you can't blame it on the Pac-10 this time. Can't wait to see what Boren writes now....

Blame? I doubt Stoops will "blame" anyone for the loss -- his Oklahoma squad just got beat by a superior Texas club, and there's no possible way to dispute that. I do love how the media (ESPN at least) was trying to pin this loss somewhat on Peterson. They said something like "he got his 100 yards, but he just didn't have any explosive plays." That happens when you've got 11 focusing on stopping 1, and the other 10 guys on offense can't get the job done.

I don't recall Stoops making a big deal of the calls anyway. He was pissed, and probably still is, but he isn't dwelling on it. I don't blame him for being pissed, as you all know. It is one thing to lose outright on the field and another thing to lose due to a ridiculious call by a ref sitting in a replay booth wearing his Oregon Duckie underware.

Wow! Peterson is the only thing Oklahoma has going for it. He is one helluva back! One man can't do it all. Plus, turning the ball over 5 times can't help either. Just see my Ducks getting throttled thanks to spotting Cal 14 points on two turnovers in the first quarter.

Yea--maybe you Duck fans should worry about Cal and not what Bob Stoops thinks.

Just wondering how the conspiracy theorists will react when Oklahoma got bad calls from their own officiating crew.

The "questionable" calls in this game would not have affected the outcome of the game. Comparing what happened in this game to the calls in the Oregon game is apples and oranges.

Maybe, but the Peterson "fumble" stopped a drive and the forward pass that was ruled a lateral put points on the board for Texas.

I do find it annoying that calls judged to be "incorrect" by the TV analysts, and throughout many other games this weekend, aren't met with the same hysteria. Seems to say that bad calls are acceptable as long as its Texas and not a Pac-10 team who benefits.

Poor Duckies. They get no respect.

Sad, but true. Of course, they don't deserve much respect after getting thrashed by Cal, who now has the ugliest uni's in football

Now, now, a little friendly smack talk is fine but we try to point the comments at the players, teams & coaches.. not at the fans.

Look forward to chatting with you.

Speaking of turning a blind eye....here is more evidence in support of my earlier point. The Ducks go on the road against a good WSU team and lose...Let's face it you can't play the same team on the road in 5 of the last 6 years and win them all. They plummet 9 spots in the rankings?!?...Oklahoma beats a crappy Colorado team at home and moves up one spot...6 spots ahead of the team that beat them? Both are 5-2.

How can Texas A & M be ranked ahead of Oregon with 4 wins coming against Citadel, Louisiana-Lafayette, Army, and Louisiana Tech? I mean everyone schedules a cream puff or two in non-conference, but four? Plus they still have Baylor to play.

Oregon is not a top 15 team for sure. But they should be ahead of Oklahoma.

P.S. Sorry about Peterson, that guy was a blast to watch.

[AZAggie]

Oklahoma moved up only because Oregon lost. Had Oregon won, they probably would not have moved at all. Falling 9 spots is probably appropriate for losing to an unranked opponent by more than 10 pts. Now the weak schedule shot about A&M is valid. However, they did win them and still only have 1 loss. Had the coaching staff been a little more prepared, we would be undefeated right now. Baylor is not the pushover they have been in the past. They will be a test on the road for A&M because this is a rivalry game, especially for the Baylor kids. Waco and College Station are only 90 miles apart. Baylor always gets up for the A&M game.
