Interesting that it was again a home game for the Oregon Ducks that would be decided by bad calls, and again help Oregon win.
Here's the footage of the end of Saturday's Oklahoma-Oregon game, and it's obvious that Oregon benefitted from terrible calls, which were not overturned by Gordon Riese, the official responsible for reviewing calls.
An article in the Oklahoman points out that Riese is a retired Pac-10 official and Portland State University graduate who lives in Portland, Ore.
This scenario is all-too familiar for Fresno State, which was beaten last year at Oregon. The officials were so pro-Oregon that the Pac-10 head of officials later apologized. And the previous time the Bulldogs played in Eugene, the Ducks were benefitted by two controversial spots on fourth down.
It's no Italian soccer controversy, but still kinda coincidental.
So do you agree with the voter who still voted Oklahoma ahead of Oregon in the latest top-25 poll?
Oregon must surely be desperate to be taken seriously to need so much outside help, what with NIKE and the Officials always coming to their rescue. I would be ashamed to consistently need so much help to win. Poor little rich kids.
