It is quotes like this that makes Texas fans sound like Crybabies.
There was a 3 way tie. but Texas thinks it was a 2 way tie.
1. 3 way tie---- so head to head competition is out. (why can't Texas fans understand this).
2. If Texas fans want to toss out the Texas Tech loss because Texas Tech sucks, than that just shows that Texas can't beat a crappy team.
3. OOC scheduled wasn't even close, with OU blowing away the 2 other teams.
4. It is not a 2 way tie. I repeat it is not a 2 way tie. I repeat it is not a 2 way tie.
Judgment calls by referees rank nowhere near the level of dropping the easiest ball you'll ever see, especially at that most crucial point in the game. Bottom line, if Blake Gideon catches that gimme INT, the game is over and Texas is undefeated, period.
Whereas penalities which *you personally felt* were 'unfair' because you're a blind OU homer don't compare. Especially since OU still could've stopped Texas on each of those drives after the penalty calls. Thus your point is completely invalid. The dropped pick would've ended the game. The penalities, at best, extended drives in which OU could've still stopped Texas. Apples and oranges.
The point is, 99.9% of the time Texas would've never had to even defend the next play. Dropping a ball like that is a once in a lifetime event. To try and compare judgment calls by referees, which happen around 20 times per game in football, to a once in a lifetime drop like Blake Gideon's is laughable.
