10 year anniversary of the OU-Oregon replay debacle

It's been 10 years since the Sooners traveled to Eugene, Or, and became victims to one of the greatest officiating blunders in college football history.

You remember how it went: OU was ahead by six points, 72 seconds left, an onside kick looming from Oregon and then a collision. You saw Allen Patrick emerge with the football. The officials huddled and most fans watched helplessly through countless replays before the refs emerged and awarded Oregon the football.

It's almost more stunning to watch now 10 years later at the blatant disregard for Patrick who so casually strolls away from the scrum with the ball in his hands only to then plead a few seconds later showing the refs he had the ball.
