physically impossible. I meant that the distance from the helmet of Harris to the end of his shoulder pad isn’t much longer then the length of a kenny shaw’s helmet and from the still frame Shaw’s helmet is right on Harris’s shoulder pad. I just feel bad for all of the players all around cause there was not malicious intent on the play.

Hoorah for the homers!
This site and its many posters are the most blinded unrestrained homers I’ve seen on any site. Now I just come to observe and laugh. To deny what actually happened despite video evidence – absolutely amazing, but not surprising in the least.
For some to say it was a clean and legal hit just demonstrates the magnitude of their ignorance about the rules of the game. Hint: When tackling a guy, you should aim for something below the earlobe because striking a guy on the head to tackle him is illegal regardless of whether you spear him in the head, drive your shoulder into his head, or give him a flying forearm to the head. We can argue about whether two different guys delivering brutal hits to the head at the same time to the same player who clearly had them beat for a touchdown was merely coincidental or some sort of freak double accident, but it wouldn’t do much good. Denying that the play happened is like denying a man has ever walked on the moon. If you don’t believe the video evidence, nothing I say will change your minds. The players delivering said hits have great body control as exhibited on their interceptions and they are coached well enough to know to tackle below the earlobe.

The OU fans who showed up to the game were decent classy people who appeared to be level headed and fairly objective. I thank them for coming and hope they enjoyed the game. They represented OU well. In honesty, your band chicks are some of the ugliest I’ve seen but your cheerleaders made up for that. Overall, the game was fairly evenly played. FSU had troubles on the interior O-line and OU wisely capitalized as a very well-coached team should. It was evident in our inability to run and with the OU blitzes late in the game. No run game + immobile freshman QB + FSU O-line problems = lots of successful blitzing and pressure. It is pretty ridiculous to read the post-game breakdowns on C&C and read that any OU player dominated or destroyed anything. The MVPs of the game were the Big 12 / OU refs. The only dominating and destroying that was done by OU was the result of the illegal hits above. For most of the game the OU fans had a nervous WTF? look on their faces while watching the FSU D shut down the OU offensive machine that was supposed to be able to score at will according to your own posters. OU ran 67 plays, had a piddly 4.2 YPP ave. couldn’t stick it in when in the redzone, was lucky on some low line-drive field goals, and got a fabulous play by Kenny Stills to rip an INT out of Greg Ried’s hands for a TD. It was two great players making a great play and Stills wound up on top.

Make no mistake, OU DID NOT WIN THE GAME. It was handed to the by the Sooner refs. You will not find another post I have made in the past 3 years where I have ever complained about officiating, but this was the most extremely one-sided and poorly called game I can remember. It is far worse that what happened to OU at Oregon because the officiating was consistently poor and one-sided all game long. If we have Big 10 or Big east officials, OU loses by 2-3 touchdowns. Stills had a great game. Other than that, the only domination for OU came from the refs. Congrats on receiving a gift. I also admire OU for finally playing a true away game against a decent team and appreciating what a true away game is.
