When ESPN's biggest UofO homer is calling bad calls against OSU bad, you know that they were terrible. Oh well, I wouldn't expect much less since the lead official was a UofO grad (a fact Fouts brought up at the beginning of the game).
Dan Fouts should not be allowed to do call Oregon games. That's ESPN's first mistake.
The fact that the lead official was a UO grad just shows how (Please Use More Appropriate Word) the Pac-10 is. Seriously, just fire every ref in the conference and start over. You guys suck so horribly.
I'm not saying I disagree that OSU got some homer calls. (One pass interference in particular stands out.) I'm just saying that the most timely calls or missed calls should have gone Oregon's way but failed to. The Ducks should never have had to go to OT in the first place, but they got themselves off track and there they were. The refs just helped shove them out the door and slam it.
EDIT: I probably should be proud that a fifth-string offense ran over the vaunted OSU defense, but I'm really not. Should have been a win.

We can definitely agree on this. They are a the worst in the nation.

I think a big chunk of that is that the defense didn't take the "fifth string" seriously. I think that at least early in the game they played them softer than they would normally have...and it bit them in the ass (ie, allowing Roper to just walk into the end zone for the 2nd TD).
This space needs to be filled with a new sig...but I'm too lazy to make one.
