"OU's defense did give up 2 TDs in less than a minute. And they still had a chance to win it with a FG but that was blocked. The bad officiating wasn't the only reason OU lost that game."

No, but this isn't Al Gore or John Kerry bitching about a couple of slow voting precincts. This is about a kick in the gut...twice...by refs that have the truth at their fingertips and failed entirely to rule based upon it.

When you have the TV talking heads making a statement on a call like this onside kick, you know it's obvious. The call was a complete joke, and that had to completely demoralize the OU team. Thank goodness they put up the effort, but they should not have had to. And the NCAA should apologize to them for such a shameful performance on the part of the referees.

That Oregon gleefully accepts such a stolen victory is testimony to the desperation of PAC teams to legitimately gain a national presence, and their inability to do so fairly.

I understand you are upset, and you have legitimate greivances, but I don't understand what you want Oregon to do. "Okay, you guys deserved that one, so we'll take the L and you get credit for the W."

Or "let's play double super sudden death to see whose champion of the universe!"

If the refs are handing you a victory, any team would take it.
