Pac-10 officials vs. OK suspended one game

[sloth]

The latest on Yahoo! news is that the replay official is now getting death threats. I recall this also happening in the Ohio State BCS game a couple of years ago...so I won't make any generalizations about Oakies ;-) but in all seriousness, how out of hand has society become when people get this aggitated about a game? I have no problem with the conference giving a suspension for a badly called game, but for Boren to inflame the situation with a charged letter liek this eems to be littel more than public grandstanding.

I always think back to something an older offical told me when the topic of officials deciding games came up. Basic gist was that "The two teams had all game to score or play better defense. To blame an official for one or two blown calls out of an entire game is nothing short of dodging the team responsibility for not taking care of buisness early on in the game."
