Normally I'll scream about poor officiating when it happens, then cool off later and realize, yeah ok that call wasn't so bad, or yeah that was a penalty. Not so in this case. That is by far the most one sided officiating job I've ever seen. I don't know if money changed hands, this crew had an axe to grind, or what, but there was definitely something wrong.
TD run by D'Onta, called back for holding. There's nothing that even looks like it could be holding anywhere on the field. Pure made up call to take away a TD.
Fumble by OSU QB #4. All Horns in the pile, except for one Cowboy, who NEVER demonstrated he had the ball. Refs see him and find the perfect excuse to let OSU keep the ball, without confirming he had it. Obviously, because he never did.
Roughing the passer taking away a Texas INT. Iffy call at best. Again, uh oh, big play for Texas we can't have that, throw a flag.
Defensive holding on a run play. F*cking absolute, unabashed statement of, "the team I'm supposed to be protecting needs a hand here, so I better throw a flag and call it on an interior lineman, since that's the safest place to make a phantom call." There was nothing, absolutely nothing, that could have made even somebody that hates Texas think there might have been something there. If anything it was holding on OSU, who was bear hugging our DT that called for the f*cking penalty!
Then of course, this leads to Charlie Strong blowing his top, rightfully so, and I'll be damned if the ref is not following Charlie and getting in his face trying to provoke him even further, THEN THE GODDAMN REF LEANS INTO THE COACH, and immediately throws a flag. I mean, can you get any more blatant and obvious?
These goddamm refs were hell bent on making sure Texas loses. Idgaf what anybody says. I'm not sure why, but there needs to be an investigation. In the history of sport, if the fix was ever in, it was in this game.
Yeah OU got completely screwed on the Oregon game, but that was one call. This was an entire game where the officials seemed to have a gameplan of wiping out anything big that Texas did. I didn't even bring up all the calls, just the ones that stuck out the most, that's how bad it was.
