Sorry Sooners, but this is pathetic.

Couple thoughts:

1. Does OU want to erase any game that may have been turned by a "bad call"

2. I originally thought it was a bad call, after watching the vid a couple of times, it looks like a sooner had a piece of it. Inconclusive at best, call on the field stands

Hey OU, don't give up 500+ yards.

You can "want" in one hand and crap in the other. See which one fills up first.

This is just playing to the home crowd.

Boren is a Rat, is he still calling for a recount of the 2000 election?

it wasn't just a bad call. OU recovered the onside kick. Oregon touched it before it went 10 yards..... and they gave the ball to Oregon.

Consider the financial impact between playing in a BCS bowl and a non-BCS bowl. (assuming OU wins out.... which is still questionable). This is about a huge financial impact on what was clearly a "setup". A cheat. An intentional cheat.

Will OU vacate their national titles won under the Barry Switzer era.

David Boren...get over it. Yes, bad calls and you probably shouldn't have lost. I don't disagree with some punishment for the officials either as a part of their normal weekly reviews.

But void the game...don't think so.

There's no way they throw out the game. But go watch the clip again.

You report. We decide.

Oriole fans are still waiting for a ruling on that fly ball that brat from Connecticut interfered with in Yankee Stadium which resulted in the play being called a home run in the 96 ( I think) playoffs.

I think Stoops should , in this one instance, follow the advice of George Soros and MoveOn.

Big Sooner fan here,- my daughter is a student there- but I think Boren is wrong on this one.

Yeah, the calls were questionable, but you can't set a precedent that games can be voided because of the officials.

They should just use refs as spotters and call the penalities from the booth.

LSU got robbed against Auburn this past weekend too.

Sooner or later some school will sue some conference over a bad call that costs them a lot of money.

Was it a horrendous call? Absolutely. Did they get screwed on who actually RECOVERED the onside kick? Yes!! Did they get screwed on the Pass Interference call? Yes they most certainly did (the ball was clearly tipped)....

But will this get anywhere....not a chance in hell. If I were Missouri I'd be asking the commish to review the "5th down game" against Colorado from 1990....

Hey, OU!

What about the two National Championships in the 70's you "won" by cheating and recruiting illegal players? Not to mention giving the players cars, bonuses, etc.

I wish Boren had have gotten so worked up when the little islamist exploded outside the stadium last year.

Far more important and much more lethal than any referee.

LOL!! Cheaters are complaining about being cheated. Oh the irony!

See! SEE!!! THIS is what happens when you introduce Instant Replay into college football. Ridiculous! Unfortunately, there must be "CONCLUSIVE" evidence that the call on the field was wrong, not just "pretty good evidence". Bob Stoops should show some class and just let it go.
