My dad taught me that it's wrong to hate. He's lived almost all his life in New Jersey and doesn't have to watch Pac-10 refs in hoops & football week in and week out. It's crude, but these guys really suck. The pass interference call on Jairus Byrd in the end zone late in the 3rd quarter in the UCLA game was a new low even for these clowns. Yes, these knuckleheads should be outfitted by Barnum & Baily instead of Nike or whoever provides those stripes. I have no issue with a zebra who blows a tough call that could be reversed on review. This call was a complete and total fabrication. To make matters worse, it was late. A conspiracy theorist would assume the referee had the Bruins and the 17 points. I don't buy that because that would mean these morons had an excuse for their ineptitude. I simply think they're bloody awful at their jobs. Pac-10 commissioner Tom Hansen was at the game and while he might have been napping at the time after a nice, hot cup of tea, perhaps this will demonstrate how pathetic things have gotten. Let's put it this way, I thought things bottomed out with the horrifying way the Oklahoma game went 2 years ago. Just goes to show that we should never asume things can't get worse.
That said, I have no idea what to make of the Ducks. UCLA isn't good, but Oregon beat them. Looking around the country, it's getting tough to just lock in a win against almost anyone because parity has spread like bad stocks. I look forward to your thoughts when we rally in a bit for SportsTalk.

Hey Steve, with a bad call in the Oregon and Oklahoma games on Saturday it got me thinking...
Will Bob Stoops demand that texas forfeit that game, put an asterisk next to the game in the record books, and refuse to ever play the red river shootout again until they don't use Big-12 refs?
... and then have a scandal that costs him a number of wins from another season?

... which subsequently forces he, the Oklahoma athletic director, the school president, and thousands of loser fans to STOP WHINING!

That's interesting that you say you "have no idea what to make of the Ducks." Could it simply be that the 2008 edition of the Oregon Ducks football team is not as dominant - especially on defense - as the pre-season pundits had forecasted? In other words, the Ducks this season are unfortunately not much better than mediocre-to-average in the big picture of NCAA football.
