Bottom line is, is that it clearly states in the rule book that a player CANNOT throw the ball up in the air after scoring a touchdown. <br /><br />Get off the ref because he was obviously doing his job. It wasn't a "judgement" call. Locker was excited yes, but the fact was that he commited a penalty. <br /><br />If you don't like the call, change the rule

OU's tradition alone can beat the ducks. And yes I would love to see that game played again. We should schedule oregon as one of our cupcake games for the pre-season warm up.

I can't wait until next week when some other team loses and it is all because the refs suck. Then maybe we can get on with the season... or at least quit having 900 articles and 50 zillion complaints about poor Washington and that evil ref who threw a flag... I have to see bye now, and go to hot black and white club "B l a c k W h i t e K i S S . c o m" where 11 beautiful big women are chatting with me now..

goducks1111.....you're just uncorrigible. So why bother. I'm certain the Sooner faithful would welcome a chance to see OU kick your fowl football team's a**es around for 60 minutes. I look forward to our next game against Oregon. It don't matter where they play or who officiates. And I hope you're still ranked when that time comes.

Whatever Sooner22... your a whiner just like the rest of the Okie fans...I only wish I could see Oregon play Oklahoma this year so we could shut you guys up!

Rules are rules. I highly doubt that most of the players who get penalized in a game actually meant to commit the foul. Holdng, Pass Interferance and many other penalties could all be disputed as: "Well yeah he did it, but he didn't mean to." Locker was excited, I am sure that he is a good person and didn't mean to, but it is still against the rules. If people think that the rules should change, the flood gates will be opened to the potential of all rules being changed. Or, before a penalty can be inforced, all the officials must consult each other, an official in the booth the instant replay, and maybe a disinterested fourth party; but then we would have 7 hour games.

I'm sick of hearing all the whining about a bad call. The Boogars blocked the kick. 35 yard kicks are a chip shot for college kickers. If Washington thinks they deserve the win then maybe they shouldn't have allowed over 400 yards passing. Or here's a thought; maybe they should have held Jorgensen again so he couldn't get the block, since the refs turned a blind eye to all the holding the UW offensive line was doing all game. GET OVER IT!

Everybody talks about the unsportsmanlike conduct call on Locker, but what about all the calls that the refs blew to let Washington in to the end zone in the first place. Like the obvious holding call that should have been called against Washington that too is in the book. An offensive player cannot tackle a defensive player while the defensive player in the middle of trying to make a sack. How about the BYU fumble recovery that was changed to intentional grounding so Washington could hold on to the ball. The ball has to travel forward in order to be considered a forward pass if the ball travels backwards it becomes a lateral and intentional grounding cannot be called. On that play the Locker was in the grasp when he ?flicked? the ball downward and the ball landed even with the heel of Locker?s shoe meaning the ball had to have travelled backwards hence a lateral and a free ball as such intentional grounding should not have been called and BYU should been given possession of the ball. I find it interesting that the only time a call by the officials favored BYU in the game it?s considered a bad call but no one says anything about how the officials did everything to help Washington win the game throughout rest of the game. Not to mention that it degrades the superior performance needed by BYU to even block the extra point in the first place. <br />I say since no one likes the Pac10 officials anyway let just not schedule any more games in Pac10 stadiums that way no one has to worry about how the Pac10 refs call the game.

college football is for fun, pride, and a shot at a better future for these kids. when they celebrate a good play its all they have they aren't getting bonuses like the nfl let them celebrate as long as it is not unsportsman like or taunting. what is next for college ball will it be turned into the NFL (no fun league). let the kids play and have fun...

Ok there was a bad call. Get over it, im an OU fan and yeah there was a bad call way back when at oregon game but had we brought our A game, it wouldn't had even been a factor. They didn't belong on the same field as us or the same day, they should be playing on friday night instead of saturday.

Jan Jorgenson's penetration on the attempted point-after would have meant the ball would have been blocked at any distance from the goal posts. The refs followed the rules with the flag. What upsets the UW fans is the inconsistency of it all. The homer PAC-10 officials had kept to a laissez-faire attitude the whole game (no holding calls, even when blatantly performed right in front of them?) and only decided to "call" the game on the next to last play. Lack of consistency would bother me too. However, the PAC-10 has its own rules about which officials will work its games, and you can bet it is self-serving. They just (finally) got involved a bit late in this game.

goducks1111, we ain't whinin', just statin' the facts. TWO bad calls on one play. It's done, let's move on. Now, come on down to Norman, bring your fowl football team and let's play some football. I don't live in OK, been there many times and seen enough to say "you got the wrong impression, boy"

Bad Rule. Good Play by BYU.

I don't know about anyone else but I am sick of hearing Oklahoma fans and their coaches whining...what a bunch of B****es!!

And Weatherboy....<br /><br />YTake a basic law class. Every point of the law once contested before an adjudicating authority is a "judgement" call. The problem with the rule in this case is it leaves no wiggle room...it was very very clear. Locker violated it. Once you go down the slippery slope of picking when you want to enforce rules (if football and in life), you get into trouble. Suppose you think the law should be enforced at lunchtime when that drunk practically runs you over. You want enforcement....but later that evening it's you that got wasted and are driving home with a wiggle in your giddy-up. I dare say once those red lights are flashing in the rear vierw mirror, you want mercy. Good enforcement, good judgement on-the-spot doesn't care when the law is enforced. It's simply good to enforce it all the time and consistently for obvious reasons. If young men aren't learning that on the field, why play the game? You know this is true now don't you?

0) Borst is correct. The Cougars have run 12 games now and although it is in no way close to much longer streaks by them and others, when you start winning more than about 10 in a row, you've accomplished a lot. BYU is an extremely good football team. Their defense is young, but they are also talented. I think you'll see them get much better on that side of the ball very quickly. If BYU keeps winning, I suspect they will rise quite high in both polls, maybe into the top 3-5 by the end of the year.

1) The fan poll is irrelavent. The rule is what counts and wht was enforced by the official. If the officials decide to enforce rules anytime they want, then the game is far more tainted than if they call it as they see it.

sooner 4 "u"...there are no hotels next to BYU's stadium hich holds 72,000<br /><br />the view is much better than flatlanders on OKI.....corn for miles

UW, that lost must have really hurt. I can't imagine your grief right now.... It must be great with all of the excuses you have to come up with! LMAO!<br />(is Schadenfreude a bad thing?)

It's a lot bigger than Boise St. stadium and they worked your OKIE ARSSES, GO HOME. Or did their lack of "tradition" not count. Your lame attitude is what drives the BCS machine. If we had the opportunity to play in a bowl game that paid our conference the kind of monopoly money you get for losing to Boise St., we could probably put in a few more seats for your alum's when they come to our house and get their azzes handed to them. BUT you won't come here to play, just to BEEATCH. Go back to the flat land jerky boy.
