It doesn't quite right the wrong, but it does punish those guilty for the wrongs committed...

Wow, I'm shocked anything came of it. It's usually just forgotten by the following Sunday, at least by officials.

How could they have missed those calls is what im wondering...

Not that im insinuating anything but could a more deep investigation of these officials be underway?

An onside kick by Oregon after its first late touchdown was touched by a Ducks player before it traveled the required 10 yards, and the Pac-10 ruled that the ball should have been awarded to Oklahoma. The league also said that video revealed that an Oklahoma player actually recovered the ball.

I'm still not convinced that the rule for touching the ball in the first 10 yds is awarding the ball to the receiving team regardless of who recovers it. Maybe it is in college rules, but I think it's a rekick after a penalty in the pros.

If Oklahoma did in fact recover the fumble before the whistle blew, it's a moot point. Oklahoma ball, no question.

....even punishes the officials that were not even in on the play....need to change the Pac 10 rule about thier officials only at non conference games......it was more so the replay guy then anyone else in my opinion....

With an eye toward the World Cup threads earlier this summer, I'll go ahead and say that instant replay is ghey. It makes the entire sport ghey. It is so ghey that it's spreading . . . first to the NFL, and now college ball. It's gotten to the point where I question the manhood of anyone that promotes it.

The officials for this game and the LSU/Auburn game should all be fired.

I've been known to yell at, and gripe about refs since about age 5, when my parents first loaded up the 'ole station wagon with us kids to go to our local basketball games.

However, I must say, this is setting a rather disturbing precedent.

I tuned in on that game in the last few minutes. I have no particular reason to favor either team so I watched totally objective. The onside kick ruling was clearly a bogus call that changed the outcome of the game.
