But you seem to be suggesting that the refs gave us the game, which is patently untrue. Both sides had plenty to complain about.

I’m trying to make out what plays you’re referring to, which is not easy, so forgive me if I’m wrong:

“2 pass interference calls on lewis when he was clearly trying to catch him”

How does the fact he was “clearly trying to catch him” (“him” I’m assuming meaning the receiver) have to do with a pass interference call? They called the contact. End of story.

“a 4th down conversion by OU’s punter, knall”

If you mean the fourth down conversion on which the punter faked his own injury, then I agree that was a horrendous call. If you think the punter got the first down on the fake punt, then I will vehemently disagree. He was short, and arguably got a nice spot.

“the first touchdown by texas”

What exactly was wrong with Jordan Shipley’s return? Perhaps you mean our first TD drive… but OU’s offsides penalties were fairly obvious.

“the inevitable 3 points that texas got off us which should have been called a fumble by OU that went out of bounds and not an incomplete catch”

I’m searching hard in my memory banks for this and I’m not totally clear, but I’m guessing you mean that there was a play in which an OU player seemed to have caught the ball and lost it when he hit the ground. That’s an incomplete ball, by rule. The ground can’t cause a fumble, but it can cause an incompletion.

I’m surprised you didn’t bring up the roughing the passer penalties. Then again, Brian Orakpo got held about 200 times that game.

Oklahoma played a fine game but lost. The refs didn’t lose it for anyone.
