I told my wife that there were 2 things that I felt had to happen in order to win my confidence back with officiating and really organized sports to a degree.
1. An official apology by the officiating crew (which I didn't expect, and as far as I know is unprecidented)
2. or a revesal of the games result (Again, I believe has never happened before other than a Cornell game Vs Lehigh a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, and I never expect that to happen, and I am rather suprised, and frankly dissapointed, that Boren asked for.)
Much to my suprise and delight we have an official apology! I'm floored!:eek:
I feel an apology is a HUGE 1st step to fixing anything. At this point that is all one can really expect, even though it does not fix the past.
As a result, I propose the following!
Even with the Issues our team faces (youth, defensive struggles or what have you) I feel OU WILL win the Big12 and Play in a BCS bowl, and I hope it will be .....VS. Oregon.
I feel this would be a giant step to repair OUr image in the eyes of the nation. Even if we don't win. The media coverage will be so thorough, I think the whole thing will finally be put to rest, and allow both teams to move on.
Personally, I feel OU would have the edge, because Oregon's Offense has already developed and is well seasoned, and OU almost pulled it out. Give OU a full season, and finish their development and it will be a much better team than they faced last week.
I dont know, I guess i'm still tryin' to heal.
