Good call - it's been too long since I've done real football.

This situation actually happened a couple of years ago when OU lost to Texas Tech on the instant replay bonanza. Tech scored (not really but for the sake of the argument) to make the score 24-23 (I think). Everybody thought the game was over as there was no time on the clock. The officials made Tech try the attempt, which they complied with by taking a knee, but the play could have resulted in OU scoring the winning points so the try had to be attempted.

Well if it were a couple years ago(2005 and earlier) the TRY was mandatory "unless the team behind in the score leaves the field".

That's what really happened. TTech was required to do attempt the try as OSU didn't leave the field.

In 2006, the rule was changed. Here's what it says now. "the try shall not be attempted unless the points(s) would affect the outcome of the game."

Big difference if the game is out of reach.

B/S post indicated it was OU/TT. By mistakenly adding the S, you are giving soonerites too much credit. You see, they can only handle TWO letters not three!

He is not giving to much credit, he is insulting us by suggesting that we need a 3rd letter. It should say something to State fans that when OU is mentioned everybody understands it means Oklahoma University (not Oregon or Ohio). OSU, however, is most likely going to be thought of as Ohio State or Oregon State.

The game was 2005 and I didn't realize the rule was changed then. Thanks for the info.

I prefer zero U and Okie light. No confusion there!
