Nation to OU: Stop crying, Oklahoma

There is outrage in Oklahoma.
Fans of OU feel cheated, robbed, victimized even — all over a few disputed calls that went against their beloved Sooners and Tigers in huge losses Saturday.
A little advice to those anguished souls: Get over it.
Refs don’t lose games, teams do, and your teams blew it.
First, a recap of the supposed atrocities.
The Sooners took it on the chin twice from the officials at the end of their 34-33 loss to Oregon.
Trailing by six with a little more than a minute left, the Ducks recovered an onside kick. At least that’s what the officials ruled.
It certainly looked like Oregon touched the ball before it went 10 yards, which by rule would have given it to Oklahoma.
It also appeared that the Ducks interfered with the Sooners players who were trying to field that bouncing kick within the first 10 yards, which is also against the rules.
And finally, the officials appeared to be too quick to award the ball to the Ducks when the guy who came out of the pile with the ball was a Sooner.
Bad job by the officials, and it got worse when the Sooners were flagged for pass interference moments later on a ball that might have been tipped at the line.
Even if the pass wasn’t tipped, the call was questionable.
Pac-10 commissioner Tom Hansen said the league will review both the onside kick and the pass interference.
After those two calls, Dennis Dixon found Brian Paysinger wide open behind the secondary with 46 seconds left to give Oregon the lead.
Oklahoma had one last chance and Garrett Hartley’s 44-yard field goal was blocked.
The game is already going down as one of the most infamous in Sooners history. Highway robbery!
Really?
On three occasions, the Sooners drove inside the Oregon 10 and settled for field goals.
The Ducks piled up 501 yards against an Oklahoma defense that was supposed to be one of the best in the country but is now ranked last in the Big 12.
Even Adrian Peterson knew the Sooners were in trouble if they had to rely on their defense to make a big stop.
How about this, Oklahoma? Punch in a couple of those red-zone opportunities or cover someone every now and then instead.
