Lol man every time I watch that my jaw is basically on the floor. It's wild.

  • Ball doesn't even go 10 yards
  • Very obviously touched by Oregon player first
  • Oklahoma player recovers the ball and walks away while everyone else is piled up
  • Officials rule Oregon ball even though no one in the pile actually has the ball
  • Replay inexplicably holds everything up even though it's all clear as day on the screen, even in this shitty quality video you can see it all

I would call this cheating 100 times out of 100.

Still funny that it happened to Bob Stoops.

I kept looking at it and yeah, and was waiting on the idiot announcers to mention that. They didn't. I kind of remember that.

Yep lol #23 clearly picks the ball up behind the pile and walks off while other OU players point at him trying to get the refs attention. So bizarre. They did mention OU having the ball once but I don't think they ever pointed it out again after that.

Not gonna lie, from the outside, this is the weirdest UT fan obsession.

It makes complete sense that a Texas Tech fan would feel that way.

Overall I’m not concerned with sec crews except for the Gomer Pyle crew. Big 12 has 3-4 really bad crews 

There have been many horrific calls by SEC crews over the years, it's just a matter of time for y'all.

It's almost like refs everywhere suck shit.

Texas holds plenty.  And gets called for it plenty.

Ok, great. The point is you're literally the only fanbase in America that obsesses over it. It's weird. Aggy level weird.

Counterpoint-- You're a Texas Tech fan with 10,000 posts on a UT message board.  That's weird.  Aggy level weird.

Tech fans including Fantana are well aware how absurd the officiating was in 2008 (not just that game) with holding going uncalled but they're not going to admit it in enemy territory. 

Just let them have their most glorious game victory that led them to winning exactly nothing of importance.

I'm fully aware of the non-call vis-a-vis Orakpo and it was bad. I'm not aware of some systemic conspiracy to hold Texas players and get away with it across the board in 2008 or otherwise. Do you guys know how insane you sound?

That would sound insane if that's what anyone was saying. The Big 12 didn't call holding in 2008 on anyone against anyone (hyperbole of course but the called holding rate was absurdly low compared to other conferences). It was not an anti-Texas conspiracy but more likely a strategy to increase scoring for more excitement. It did affect Texas more because we had the best pass rushers in the conference that year by far. 

Reading is important, but reading comprehension is critical.

I thought we quit having to pretend the B12 administration was neutral toward Texas when the commissioner was recorded publicly cheering against us. For Tech, btw. I am sure our Tech visitor can provide plenty of other examples of other conference officials expressing a desire in favor of one of their member schools losing a game prior to officials in his employ officiating said game. B12 refs were and are bad, maybe not the worst. Their calls are marked by incompetence, unconscious bias, and deliberate favoritism, depending on the ones at issue. And often their calls are correct. Blind squirrels and nuts.

Unfortunately, both of these classes are only offered at the graduate level at tech.

What was bad is they made one holding call that game.  A horrible call on Ulatoski because the pass rusher fell down.  It negated a big gain.  And next play was a pick six that likely does not happen but for the holding call.  They held Orakpo and Kindle all night as bad as I have ever seen.  Like wrapping arms around necks.  It was ridiculous.

I honestly wasn't aware of this, was there anything written about it?

They held Orakpo so egregiously and so often they ended up injuring him.  It was unconscionable.

That goofball that dressed up and painted his face like a WWE wrestler was one of the worst offenders.
