Pac-10 refs call great moments in history

by Grady Clapp on Jan 1, 2010 1:16 PM PST

Mike Littlewood: "Rule 4(a)(vii) Section 6 of the rulebook clearly states that if the brain or any part of the brain leaves its designated area (the head) and encroaches onto the playing surface, a technical foul shall be assessed. Since the car was moving forward at the time, and not stopped, we had no choice but to enforce the rule. My crew and I were ultimately correct in awarding 86% career free throw shooter Lee Harvey Oswald two foul shots with 0.3 seconds remaining."

"Personal foul... Unnecessary roughness, on the Allies... 15 yards from the spot of the foul. First Down!"

"After further review, there is no foul on the play. First down, white team."

"Not Guilty"

"An indirect technical foul has been assessed on the colonists for throwing tea overboard. The British will receive two foul shots and possession of the ball."

"Unsportsmanlike conduct."

"A technical foul has been assessed for excessive celebration."

"Rule 43(b) Section 5 Code 17 XVI clearly states that a player may not rise from the dead and re-enter the playing surface."

Excessive celebration was hilarious.

I am still pissed

The more time passes, the more angry I get. I am just stunned. I knew the Pac-10 refs in all sports are considered a joke around the country, but this…..wow….i am still in shock. These refs need to be fired.

Also….this article was funny, nice post, needed something to make me laugh today.

I hope Bone gets the teams' heads screwed on tight.

There is too big of a risk of a let-down.

Yep, tomorrow is huge now

Could be the start of a losing streak… or last night could light a fire under this team.

I have a feeling they come back from this

Bone has shown he is a pretty damn good coach and I think he will do a good job using this to motivate his team.

Thanks for clearing up my confusion Mr. Littlewood

I actually had thought we had won the basketball game.

It was a shame the game ended the way it did. It always seems weird to see the cops waiting to help the Refs off the court.

I’ve been watching the 07 and 08 coug duck games this morning while I change hooks on my salmon lures for the spring. I watched Skivory Clark against ORU and Aron dunk on Ariz and am finding myself more upset over the call last night than I did last night. Last night, we left Beasley with a smile and the recognition that it was a game, you win some you lose some. It was enjoyable to watch because of the way the cougs played toward the end of the second half. I really didn’t enjoy the first half at all. I’m not sure why they played the way they did in the first half, but I know that if they played in the first half they way they played in the second half, I wouldn’t be getting so upset over that call that I thought at the time was pimped by Erinie (best dresser in the league) who was on the court more than half the game anyway. Never-the-less two things come to mind as I watch the O tape, 1) even the O commentators knew it was a B.S. call and, 2) Anthony Brown shouldn’t be playing slap ass on the court during a game. With that said, I hope last night, as D said after the game, will focus the cougs for tomorrow, They’re playing PAC 10 now and yes the Refs can be butts, but each team wants to win as much as the other and the Cougs will need to play hard all game saturday , not just in the first half. I’m hoping to see a few feathers jammed in the beavers as they walk off the court.

Thanks for letting me put my thoughts done for everyone to see, maybe I too can focus on the next game.
