If the scoreboard says you lost, you lost. That's not going to change. Take an hour to vent postgame, then try to regain your sanity. Do not diminish your quality of life -- and the quality of life of those around you -- by spewing for days about the refs who cheated your team, the flagrant league bias against your team or the complete lack of class displayed by the team that beat your team. Your team l-o-s-t. Try to deal.

Yes. The back of his foot was clearly out of bounds. There are pics, but I can't find one with a quick search. It's alright, Michigan got what was coming to them and then some. If you think this call is a disgrace to college football, you obviously never watched Michigan vs Nebraska.Originally posted by: G Wizard
was it clearly on tape that the receivers feet were out of bounds? i want to see that video.
because it was clearly on tape that first the oregon player touched the ball and second that oregon never even recovered the f'n ball.
this has more to do with the integrity of college football than the blown call. what good is the replay rule if this kind of debacle comes out of it. do away with the g-d replay, i say.
college football is a joke.
First of all, I never even mentioned the two seconds. What do you have to say about the catch?Originally posted by: mpitts
Last year's Alamo Bowl was, by far, the worst officiated game that I have ever seen in my life. The refs did a great job of blowing calls for both teams. It was horrible.
And I love how PSU fans STILL blame Michigan for the officiating.
BTW if you go back and watch the tape of the game, the two seconds that were put back on the clock were more than justified. Michigan had called timeout at :32 and the clock continued to run to :28. Carr was smart enough to realize what happened and the officials agreed that the clock continued to run. If the clock hadn't continued to run, then the officials would not have put the time back on the clock.
Poor PSU fans.. The refs find a way to screw them every year..

Reds, you might as well give up. You are trying to get sympathy from a bunch of geeks who don't even know what a football looks like let alone care about a game. For those of us who follow college football, we understand.

But since you brought it up, timeouts, challenges, etc, are enforced when the officiating crew sees them. There is no provision for compensating for not getting attention promptly enough. See Saban's Miami vs Pitt challenge for an example. So, while Michigan may have deserved those extra two seconds, per the rules of college football, they should not have gotten them. That is why it's seen as the refs giving Michigan a favor.
If #23 were smart, he would have taken off running towards the endzone with the ball in hand. He wasn't ruled down by contact.Originally posted by: wyvrn
I am not an OK or Oregon fan, I watch TAMU and ND. But that was the most amazingly fscked up call I have seen in college football. It was OBVIOUS from about 3 different angles that 1) Oregon touched the ball first and 2) Oregon never had possession. Watch the ball fall through the OK player legs, and #23 comes and picks the ball right up. Oregon NEVER had posession other than touching the ball (twice by the same player) before the 10 yard mark. Every touch after that was by an OU player.
I could see them missing this in real time, but I don't buy missing it with replays. There were multiple angles that told the story. What a crock of crap. They should have fired the booth official and called a 1 quarter rematch of the 2 teams to decide the outcome.

David Cutaia, the on-field referee in last Saturday's Oregon-Oklahoma game, will referee Saturday's USC-Arizona game.
...
But because the Pac-10 does not have enough crews to cover all of its games this weekend, Cutaia will be working Saturday -- and serve his suspension later in the season.
Arizona is coached by Mike Stoops, the brother of Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops.
