NORMAN, Okla. -- University of Oklahoma president David Boren sent a letter to Big 12 Commissioner Kevin Weiberg on Monday, asking him to push for the Sooners' game against Oregon to be eliminated from the record books and have the Pac-10 officials involved in the game suspended for the remainder of the season.

Riiight.

Then we can eliminate the Colorado fifth-down and check what mayhem ensues.

Not sure if you guys have seen it, but we linked up to a strong piece by Canzano in Portland today. He talked to the replay booth guy .. who barely had a look at the replay.

Just read it. That was a good piece. Seems to be a bit of an indictment of the system, with TV and the onfield official rushing the replay guy before he could get a better angle, and it taking too long to get him a shot with a better view when they were replaying it on TV seconds after the play.

Here's the link to the column for those who want to read it.

Very intresting column and it gives further reason to hate ESPN/ABC for hurrying the refs. I can just imagine a producer up near the replay booth at Autzen saying, "you have to make the call, we need to get our commercials in. Or, if you don't want to make for another 3:30 that is OK too. But it has to be one or the other. Either make the call or wait awhile."

Assuming there's not just some serious ass-covering going on by the guys in the booth.

Brilliant move by the Pac-10, way to avoid even more criticism ...

David Cutaia, the on-field referee in last Saturday's Oregon-Oklahoma game, will referee Saturday's USC-Arizona game.

On Monday the Pacific 10 Conference issued one-game suspensions to the field officials and instant replay crew for their mistakes in the controversial finish to Oregon's 34-33 victory.

But because the Pac-10 does not have enough crews to cover all of its games this weekend, Cutaia will be working Saturday -- and serve his suspension later in the season.

Arizona is coached by Mike Stoops, the brother of Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops.

USC-Arizona will also be called by the same ABC crew that did the Oregon-Oklahoma game. It's half of ABC's Saturday night schedule. Michigan State-Notre Dame will go to most of the country but I"m guessing everybody west of the Rockies gets USC-Arizona.
