Sweet Sweet Vindication

So we won a very convincing victory last night. 59-0 and we were NOT playing around.

Some people might say "You were playing Middle Tennessee State," and to them I say touche my friends, touche. However, they ARE a Division 1-A School, we weren't beating up on some little Division II or JuCo.

My favorite part of the game? The fans in the "We Got Ducked" shirts. Or "Have you seen this win? It was stolen in Eugene, Oregon" signs. But maybe the best...The fans dressed in head to toe ref outfits with duckbills, big black sunglasses and walking sticks. I laughed for like 20 minutes watching them walk around the stands.

Abby and I did not stand up the entire second half. It was awesome. We sat on the 50 until the very last second ticked off the clock. Papa would be so proud.

On another happy note, we came home after the game and fell asleep watching The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. GOOD TIMES.

We got HOSED.

OK people. This is ridiculous. We cannot play in Eugene Oregon with Pac 10 officials.

Yes, Oklahoma was heavily penalized and most of them were deserved. We had some trouble staying still at the line (ANOTHER false start #72??) and Malcolm Kelly DID step out of bounds at the 50. We're ok with that. I never saw the hold that called back the other TD, but I am not going to argue it. We held plenty of times so I'm just pissy in general about it.

HOWEVER.

Oregon's onside kick DID NOT cross the ten yard line before they touched it. Problem #1.
THEN they had the audacity to call us on a pass interference when CJ Ah You CLEARLY tipped the ball at the line of scrimmage! It's already been touched! You can't interfere at that point!

If we are going to use instant replay in college football, it should work. In a world where a satellite can see me typing this from outer space, we should have some cameras with zoom on the damn football field.

I know people think that Sooners are arguing the calls because it ended up in a loss for us. But when Craig James agress with us, it was BAD. Boo on the Pac 10 and your crappy, cheating, ridiculous ways. We hate you. A lot.

Abby's coming!

Abby is coming to Norman! And it's even MY turn!!

However, I do not feel that I should be charged with an out-of-turn penalty flag (sorry people, it's football season and currently my vocabulary AND moods depend solely on the Sooners) because, as JUST mentioned, it's football season.

That's right, she's really coming to see the Sooners, and I'm perfectly ok with that and think it is justifiable. I mean, I'm pretty sure she hasn't been to a game since Fall 2004. That's like Wolf Brand chili*, neighbor it's just too long.

So, the weekend of September 23 Abby will be here to watch the Sooners face Mid-Tennessee. And I do mean face. Let's hope we learn to defend the option and catch the freaking ball.
