The Palo Alto Screwjob

Oregon came back after a bad start and completely dominated Stanford in the second half. Football is a game of two halves, it makes a complete game, and sometimes you have a bad drive, quarter, half, etc. but it's how you finish. Oregon finished that game completely dominating Stanford and completely overpowering them. Oregon's comeback win was robbed by terrible officiating.
Stanford is the better team.
 
Oregon could have easily avoided that final drive but they passed the ball with just over 2 minutes left on 2nd down.

Oregon was without several players due to injury.
They were without their offensive coordinator.
They were going up against the refs.

Polls need to make this right and understand this.

This is rich. When the refs are against you on the final drive of the game it is damn near impossible to win
It shouldn't have come down to the final drive. Are you saying the only difference between Oregon and Stanford is in how the refs called a couple plays?

Oregon started off rough. They were without their OC. Yet, after a bad start they came rolling back and completely took control of the game. Stanford happens to get the ball back with some time remaining and then the refs just take over.
 
Those calls at the end of the 4th quarter didn't give Stanford the win, it just allowed them to force overtime. Oregon even won the coin toss in OT, and still lost.
Sucks going into OT when your best defender, who caused multiple false starts due to Stanford OLine pissing themselves at having to go up against him, because the refs say his hit was too hard.

You didn't have what it takes.
 
C'mon down to the Rose Bowl again, we love playing the Badgers
 
At least we aren't 1-3 and we can beat Ohio State and we dont lose to Wisconsin
Goal posts...leave them where they are, and besides the refs made about 20 bad calls in each of Wisconsin's losses but none in their win.
