Just saw this....

NORMAN, Okla. -- University of Oklahoma president David Boren sent a letter to Big 12 Commissioner Kevin Weiberg on Monday, asking him to push for the Sooners' game against Oregon to be eliminated from the record books and have the Pac-10 officials involved in the game suspended for the remainder of the season.

Two plays were reviewed on Oregon's game-winning drive -- an onside kick that gave the Ducks possession and a pass interference call one play before the touchdown that gave them a 34-33 victory.

"To describe the lapses in accurate officiating at the Oklahoma-Oregon football game last Saturday as constituting an outrageous injustice is an understatement," Boren wrote in the letter dated Monday.

Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops has said he believes an Oregon player interfered with Oklahoma's ability to recover the onside kick by illegally touching the ball and a Sooners player before the kick traveled 10 yards. He also believes the Sooners recovered the kick, as tailback Allen Patrick had possession at the end of the play.

Stoops has also said he believes Oklahoma defensive end C.J. Ah You tipped a pass by Dennis Dixon that resulted in a pass interference call. If the ball was indeed tipped, the pass interference call would have been negated.
......

Made me think of 2000 big XII championship game in KC against OU and the pass interference call against Cooper.

    You can't be racist and like basketball.

Ha!  We should try to have that game stricken from the record.

I love stoops, but c'mon.  STFU and play football.

I'm all for the right call being made and admitting mistakes, etc., and maybe to some point some valid criticism (Not he Mangino type comment from a fwe years back?) but does it make sense to publicly go after a officiating crew?

in certain circumstances yes.  this is the problem with instant replay.  its not perfect because we still have people in charge.  instant replay should cut down on mistakes made by officials and if they make glaring mistakes they need to be punished in some way.  when i was in high school our basketball team lost a game after it was over b/c one of the guys on my team jumped up and grabbed the rim with 0 seconds on the clock as the officials were running off the court.  we had won by 1 but an official called a technical foul and gave the other team 2 free throws which they made with 0 seconds left to win the game.  the officials in that case were suspended by the KSHSAA and fired from the league we were in.  if an official does something obviously boneheaded they need to be punished.
