Saturday morning, I wore a Purdue shirt and my wife wore a BSU shirt. Didn't even notice it until later in the day.

UW-Eau Claire lost to Alma (ALMA?! WTH is an Alma?) 33-30 in overtime. 1-2 on the season.
Wisconsin apparently is MIA and having a good time.

Saw Penn state lose bad
ND Won big.
Sorry for FSU - but that wasn't the same team that was on last week. Bobby B must have used the subs.
PS: Anyone know how Slippery Rock did ?

If by "ND" you mean Notre Dame, you might want to re-check the scoreboard.
Dawgs whipped an Alabama patsy. Colorado's next.

Time to find one of those house divided license plates!
Now the real competition starts.

Oklahoma 33
Pac-10 Officials 34
I defend officials against Georgia Tech fans all the time. It's part of the game and good teams will rise above questionable officiating. The conferences do review the officials and their calls.
However, I do find the series of events with the Pac-10 officials in the OU/Oregon game really unsettling. At best they made an honest mistake clearly visible to the rest of the nation; at worst they outright cheated to alter the outcome of the game.
Pac-10 has suspended the officiating crew for one game. The Oregon HC only complaint is that the attention given the officiating by the media "mars" their great victory over OU. That's true. Oregon did not earn the victory and their season will be tained this entire season regardless of how far they go in the polls or which ever bowl at the end of the season.
I think the officiating crew should be banned at least for the season from any and all games involving Pac-10 versus out of conference opponents.

I missed the entire brouhaha but here's his side fwiw:
| Quote: | PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- The instant replay official whose failure to overturn a bad call led to a narrow Oregon victory over Oklahoma said Monday he feels like he is under siege after threatening phone calls, including a death threat.
Gordon Riese said he would make a decision soon about whether to finish the season, or even whether to return next year.
"I'm struggling with it," Riese said in an interview at his home. "I feel so bad I missed that call, it's driving me crazy."
A former college baseball pitcher in the 1960s who was inducted into the Portland State Hall of Fame in 1997, Riese said he never played football but always enjoyed the game during 28 years as a Pacific-10 Conference official.
"I loved it, I absolutely loved it," Riese said.
But that was before he became an instant replay official.
"I've felt much, much more pressure as an instant replay official than I ever did on the field," Riese said.
He said the equipment is not as sophisticated as NFL replay equipment, and does not allow the official to freeze the frame. But Riese lays the blame on himself after replays showed that an onside kick was touched by an Oregon player before it had traveled the required 10 yards. The Ducks went on to score the go-ahead touchdown.
"I can't sleep, I can't eat, my blood pressure is skyrocketing," Riese said, looking haggard and worn as he sat on the front porch of his house.
His wife is a registered nurse, and has been checking his blood pressure every four hours, he said.
Riese said he has stopped answering the phone, and police are investigating the threatening calls while keeping an eye on his neighborhood.
"They not only threatened me, they threatened my wife and kids," Riese said.
Riese has endured plenty of physical pain in his career. He said a torn rotator cuff ended his pitching days, all the ligaments in his right knee were torn when he was hit by an Oregon defensive back at Autzen Stadium in a 1984 game against Washington State, and he suffered a separated collarbone when he was run over by opposing linemen trying to block each other in the 2005 Fiesta Bowl.
The knee and the collarbone still bother him, occasionally, he said.
But not as much as his ruling from the booth last Saturday, Riese said.
"I don't know how to deal with it," he said. "I guess it's just one of those things." |
