	Report Comment Paula, Midtown (9/15/2008 11:52:08 AM) That's how I saw that play too. They shouldn't have ganged up on him like that but that's football. He did get in a cheap shot the play right before that, which wasn't right either.
	Report Comment zzx375, BA (9/15/2008 11:52:47 AM) The replay was pretty clear to me. Those three Washington lineman worked him when he was out of the play (on the ground). Where was the wing official to flag it?
	Report Comment soonerguy, Tulsa (9/15/2008 12:20:09 PM) I don't understand why the coaches let the skirmish happen in the tunnel either. Who's at blame? Was OU blocking the tunnel? Or why didn't Washington wait until it was clear, instead of coming out immediately after OU? Anyways, it was good to see our team had a pulse in the road game. I hope it means good things for this season.
	Report Comment jlw, Canadian (9/15/2008 12:34:08 PM) You won't hear Stoops complaining, he wears big boy underwear. What cheap ask school has both teams coming out the the same tunnel?
	Report Comment Perry, Sand Springs (9/15/2008 12:49:46 PM) My thoughts exactly jlw
	Report Comment OKLA, (9/15/2008 1:40:48 PM) Good thing it didn't happen in Norman, or those guys might have had a long walk to the bus!
	Report Comment Dash Riprock, Edmond (9/15/2008 3:10:19 PM) The Washington offensive players should have been giving center Juan Garcia a beat down instead of Granger. How many times did he bounce the snap to their QB Locker? Good grief, he looked like an overgrown Pop Warner kid.
	Report Comment Phred_53, Stillwater (9/15/2008 5:27:07 PM) When you take a cheap shot on a player,you can expect a retaliation. Happens all the time. Granger took the cheap shot, he paid for it. End of Story. Where were the officials? Most of the time they know the retaliation is coming and look the other way. Not right but it happens. Granger learned a lesson. Hopefully next time he has a chance to cheap shot someone he passe it by.
	Report Comment Milo, PoDunk (9/15/2008 5:57:48 PM) I simply do not understand why all the craziness was not flagged long before this..Of course I am not objective..I love OU...still this began long before the cheap shot by Granger..darn flags do not need to be kept in pockets!! Plenty sour grapes here....poty face too...:(
	Report Comment Milo, PoDunk (9/15/2008 5:58:32 PM) Pouty face..ooopps..
	Report Comment 2curious, Tulsa, OK 74104 (9/16/2008 6:42:32 AM) They needed THREE guys to get even with Granger? What does that say about Bulyca? Weak... I'd be doubly embarrassed if I were Casey Bulyca.
	Report Comment Steff M, Claremore (9/16/2008 11:36:54 PM) Another reason to not schedule Pac-10 schools in the future. They suck except SC, so it doesn't help our ranking and their officials are horrible and are still looking to job us. That was the only chance they had though due to the score. I don't recall ever seeing a more blatant, out in the open, full of malice personal foul. That crew should be really proud of that. Real pros. By the way, nice Cowpoke logic (referee)Phred. It's supposed to be an eye for an eye not an eye for a knee, ankle and ribcage. That PF gets called anywhere else every time even if there had been an actual cheap shot.
