OU alum here

And if you get too upset about it they gray you.

Just complaining to complain. 30 years ago the news the next day would have been about the missed call. Now the complaint is they got it right but it's no longer a beautifully flawed game. He probably had some money on OU grabbing an easy victory.

He seems to be basically arguing that because the system for picking playoff teams is dumb, if OU goes 12-1 and finishes 5th it’s replay’s fault. I don’t agree with that part of the post.

Yeah, I kept reading waiting for the point to show up. The frustration is more with the way playoff rankings work and how such a tiny play can impact a whole season, I don’t see why the cameras or frames or technology are being brought into it at all.

That’s a valid complaint, but Gabe doesn’t care about that and he says so: “What’s frustrating about the way this occurred has nothing to do with officials, the rules—though some on Oklahoma Twitter are arguing that the refs did blow the call according to the rulebook—or even instant replay as a way to make judgment…

Bill Parcells once said until replay can make sure we get 100 percent of the calls right, we shouldn’t use it. I’m more and more in his camp. Stop the slow motion replays that cost Texas Tech a possession in the national title game. The referees aren’t willing to call a game because replay MIGHT overturn something.

Las…

Except they made the wrong call. The rule says a player blocked into the ball shall have the touch disregarded. So once again, replay takes a call made correctly on the field and overturns it.

Also obvious is the K-State player blocking the OU player into the ball, which by rule should nullify the illegal touch.

Deadspin’s take on replay

If it wasn’t for Scoot Norwood kicking the ball wide right, the Bills would have won the Super Bowl.

So “one of the 4 best teams in the country” should be rewarded in a game they gave up 48 points to an unranked team based on the camera correctly showing they touched the ball before it went the required 10 yards? FOH w/ this crap.

If it wasn’t for those couple frames of film we've endlessly reviewed, JFK’s brains would still be in his head.

This take was so bad I expected it to blame Millennials by the end. 

Gabe’s take on this is so bad it feels like he had money on the game.

Take your click. Your argument is asinine and is not worthy of serious consideration by anyone. 

I knew what I was getting into when I clicked on this, but I still feel regret.

The main gripe here is that piece of modern technology was used to essentially determine the outcome of a game within a system that is nowhere near as modern... had the camera not caught this brief ricochet and a red-hot Oklahoma offense been allowed to travel the 38 yards necessary to score a touchdown, the game most…

It was very obvious...even off of two frames of footage...that the ball hit number 8 before 10 yards. Don't be a dullard.
