Coaches calling a play and an Official making a call are two separate things IMO. You can argue the entire game that the coach made the wrong choice if a play didn't work like it did in practice.
I about fell out of my chair laughing when i read this. :rollin :rollin :rollinShoulda coulda woulda. If my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle. :horns2
A lot of people, not only here, but across the college football world like to say "any given Saturday". The fact that Oklahoma "shoulda" beat the hell out of Oregon doesn't matter at all. That's an opinion at best.
The fact of the matter is that the officials PREVENTED OU from having a fair chance to win the game by completely blowing a obvious and basic call. There is pretty much NO arguing that the call was completely and utterly incorrect at a very critical point in the ball game.
BYU - Washington. Yes, the officials were right. Technically. However, ALL calls are up to the judgment of the official. So you're going to sit there and tell me that the fact that the QB threw ball up in the air after probably the biggest play in his career and possibly the biggest play since Willingham started coaching there warrants a penalty that puts their team at a significant disadvantage? That's BS IMO. Furthermore, that rule is bogus. The NCAA is truly an awful entity when you look at rules like this.
In both those examples the officials did the opposite of what officials should do in a game. Make sure the game is fair for both teams. They completely failed IMO.
NU - Va. Tech. It wasn't nearly as bad as these other examples. However, it unduly made it much harder for NU to try to comeback and win.
They made a bad call at a crucial part of the game and that's all it takes IMO.What I am disputing is the statement "officials PREVENTED OU from having a fair chance to win the game".
