Oklahoma Playoffs -- Update
Interesting article from the NYT, citing previous court cases:

If it drags on, just vacate the title and don't declare a winner for that division. Between exams, holidays, and winter sports, at some point football has to end.
I love how the judge acknowledges skepticism yet grants an injunction. Kicking the can down the road. |
If I were Oklahoma, I'd be figuring out how to comply with any injunction while still not giving Douglass anything they want.

Since they're so serious about football in Oklahoma, next time there's a legal dispute, they should settle it by a football game.

“Adults in a split second can negate months and years of hard work by kids,” Keith Sinor, the athletic director of Oklahoma City public schools, said Monday. “Our kids shouldn’t be held accountable for those mistakes — especially in a situation where they can be corrected.”
With that logic, If a coach makes a mistake, we could replay it too. |

This case seems kinda like getting convicted for running a green light and not being able to appeal it. |

But, I digress. I'm addressing this: “Adults in a split second can negate months and years of hard work by kids,” Keith Sinor, the athletic director of Oklahoma City public schools, said Monday. “Our kids shouldn’t be held accountable for those mistakes — especially in a situation where they can be corrected.” As I said in my earlier post, With that logic, If a coach makes a mistake, we could replay it too. |

But in any case, it's idiotic to me that this case ever moved forward. Refs make mistakes. Appealing one after the game is over (one you didn't even appeal on the field when it happened) and insisting the game get replayed from that point is idiotic. They might as well replay every single game ever. |

I'm waiting to see what the results of the 1:30 hearing are. I keep checking Google every five minutes!
