Awesome for the Pac-10. Now if only the NFL would act like they gave a shit about bad officiating.

Good for them, though it probably doesn't make OU fans feel much better.

Clearly Oklahoma's defense should have stopped them on their final drive... but the added momentum of recovering the on-sides didn't help things. Like my dad said watching the game: "You can't play both the refs and the players and win." |

This article gives an explanation from the Pac 10 Directer of Officials. Missed the game, but heard it was really screwed up. Sucks when a game is affected by the officials.
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2593564 Pac-10 suspends officials for errors that cost OklahomaESPN.com news services NORMAN, Okla. -- The Pacific-10 Conference suspended for one game the officiating crew and the instant replay officials that worked Saturday's Oklahoma-Oregon football game after finding mistakes were made in calls near the end of the contest. Pac-10 Commissioner Tom Hansen said Monday that a review by conference officials of video of the game revealed that both the instant replay officials and the game officials assigned by the conference made errors in the final minute and 12 seconds of the game. AP Photo/Rick Bowmer Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops argues with a referee following Oregon's onside kick in the fourth quarter on Saturday. Oklahoma lost the game 34-33 after Oregon scored two touchdowns near the end of the game. 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. Officials on the field gave the ball to Oregon, and replay officials did not overturn that decision. During a subsequent play, pass interference was called on Oklahoma, setting up the winning score. The Sooners argued that the ball had been tipped at the line of scrimmage, thereby nullifying the pass interference call. Replay officials did not see indisputable evidence to overturn the penalty. "The fact that the errors on the onside kick altered the outcome of the game is most unfortunate and unsettling," Hansen said in a statement. "We had a solid veteran crew assigned, and the instant replay official had a fine career as a referee in the Pac-10. We believe in the ability and integrity of each individual involved. It should be noted that not all of the seven officials were directly involved in the play in question, but the entire crew bears responsibility for every play. Game officials and replay officials have positions of great responsibility and must be accountable for their actions. "Errors clearly were made and not corrected, and for that we apologize to the University of Oklahoma, coach Bob Stoops and his players. They played an outstanding college football game, as did Oregon, and it is regrettable that the outcome of the contest was affected by the officiating." He said that the officials will be closely monitored in the future, but Hansen acknowledged that they don't have an easy job. "Officiating on the field is much more difficult than it appears from the stands, and certainly when watching repeated replays," Hansen said. "Plays occur at a high rate of speed. Decisions on the field must be made instantaneously. The training and experience of officials at this level enable them to work at a high degree of accuracy. Unfortunately, at the critical moment of this game errors were made." Hansen said that officials are limited to the available television shots of the action, but "on the kickoff play ample views were available." Information from The Associated Press was used in this report. Adjust Font Size: |

I just heard on the news that OU is asking for that crew to be suspended for the rest of the season. And that the game doesn't count in the won/loss column.

I'd agree with the elimination of the game from the record books, but I can't imagine them actually doing it. |

Some people actually think that the officials have it against the Chiefs. I find that laughable. |
