Maybe it would have been better to have WR's and TE's out there. You know, since it is their JOB to catch the ball.

Finding more creative ways to lose than Dave Rader.

I attended the TU vs. Houston last night in Tulsa. I'm 52 years old and have seen my share of games in my life as you can imagine. I have rarely seen a game so poorly officiated overall, but one particular play stands out above all. We were seated on the west side near the south end zone during the 2nd quarter when Houston was down within their own 5 yard line. Quarterback took the snap with a simple hand-off to a back sweeping right. The back took the ball, bobbled it and dropped it only to recover it behind the goal line. Play was ruled a safety and was posted as such on the scoreboard only to have Houston wanting a review. Everyone thought "huh?" Why a review? The play happened right in front of us and even with the big screen replay from another angle, it was indeed a pure and simple fumble...end of story. We were all apalled at the summary of the review. On further review, ruled an "incomplete pass? A what? No safety...2nd down Houston's ball. I have NEVER EVER in my 52 years seen a more blatant and wrong assessment of a play. NOTHING about that play was a pass, period. And EVERYONE in that stadium well knew it. The sad thing is it cost TU the win that night, pure and simple. And because of that, with officiating so horribly inept, I will NEVER attend another TU game. With such blatant disregard for the truth, why bother wasting my time. It was indeed a slap in the face to every player on the TU team. It simply proved to them and every fan in that stadium that TU was not only playing against the other team, but against every official as well. You can NEVER WIN under those circumstances, ever. Shame on the officials and whoever the hell hired them. Pure incompetence. As I said, it goes down in my lifetime as the WORST CALL I have ever witnessed, period.

not sure there were any bad calls at the end of the game when TU blew the lead. Well maybe there were some bad calls....bad play calls by the defensive coaches...

G.J. Kinne should be congratulated and given the game ball despite losing. After having the worst performance by a Hurricane QB in years, with the pressure on he stepped up and proved why he was named the starting QB. Graham nailed it after the game when he simply said, "We have no quarterback controversy." He played his heart out all game and his play kept TU in the ball game. And to the Tulsa defence, despite giving up nearly 700 yards of offense to Houston, created a wall across the endzone line and multiple times forced Houston to kick field goals after driving inside the ten yard lines. The one time Houston decided to go for it at the one yard line, the Hurricane defense refused to let Houston score. Tulsa did not lose that game themselves. With such an improbable line of events that led to Houston's victory, it can just be said that it just wasn't meant to be.

It was one of the best games I have seen in years. I'm very proud of the Golden Hurricane and the superb effort they put out against a ranked team. The Offensive line did a better job protecting Kinne and the Defense was excellent. Some calls went against TU and a couple against Houston. But if fair weather fans like Alby stop going to TU games because of THE OFFICIATING....then it will be their loss not TU's. They will miss some great games in the future.
