Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes
President Boren tells Sooner fans to move on: University of Oklahoma President David Boren says that it's time for the Sooners and their fans to move on after a controversial loss at Oregon, but that efforts to deal with officiating issues apparent in that game should continue. "We can put the game behind us," Boren said Friday, after an announcement of a $1 million donation to OU's College of Earth and Energy. "But we shouldn't put behind what we can learn from this, and I think what we can learn from it is that we need more neutrality when [teams from different] conferences play each other. We need not only actual neutrality, we need the perception of neutrality." (AP/ESPN.com)
More of the suspended officials work, Pac-10 delays suspension: Line judge Manuel Alonzo, back judge Steve Hudson and field judge Daniel Spriesterbach worked Saturday night's Oregon State-Idaho game at Reser Stadium even though all three drew one-game suspensions from the Pacific-10 Conference for their work in last week's Oregon-Oklahoma game in Eugene. A Pac-10 spokesman said this week that there wasn't enough time to rearrange schedules and find replacements, and that the officials in question will serve their suspensions later this season. Beavers coach Mike Riley said he hopes the conference learns something positive from the mistakes that were made in the Ducks-Sooners game. (The Oregonian)
