Yeah...can't point to one crappy call one way or the other. The refs were equal opportunity idiots. Texas was the better team TODAY...and it showed. Give credit to Will Muschamp for shutting down that OU offense in the 4th quarter
Wasn't that just a "running into the kicker" call? That's proper. Plus it was a "make-up" call by the refs who knew they'd blown it earlier. The calls for "Colt-roughing" were absolutely a joke. As was the pick in the end zone. Those calls led directly to 6 points at critical times in the game. Face it, UT still sucks!  GO RED RAIDERS in a couple of weeks!! Won't be any UT home-cookin' up there!
This 2008 NCAA Rules booklet says the ground can cause an incompletion on a pass play.
The ground can cause anincomplete pass. Catching aball involves more thansimply gaining control of it.It means gaining possessionof the ball in flight and firstcoming to the groundinbounds (Rule 2-2-7).
What I have been drinking locally with my boys here in town -
Probably the first time I have actually rooted for Texas in this game. Even going to the game the Texas National Championship year, I was divided, but before that always Oklahoma. I wanted the worst for Texas.  Eric Dickerson in Pony Excess "I've love winning man, it's like better than losing." - Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh
Thanks for looking that up, I was wondering the exact rule, it sure didn't seem as cut and dried a bad call as Fussburger was making it out to be. Womack + Wishbone = Heisman

My thoughts on the game, as an OU fan:
-while the first TD should have been reviewed, and yes the punt may have added a little something to the end to sell the penalty, you can't deny on that one drive that put UT up 30-28, there were 2 horrible calls that helped them out. 1) That 15 yard penalty. Really? Are you serious? That was all momentum. 2) That INT. How was that not an INT? He had it, had possesion, hit the ground, ball popped out but it shouldn't matter because once he hit the ground, play is over. Huge game changer right there. -The fake punt run was a terrible, terrible call. 4th and 6 and you run? No, only do that if it's 4th and 3 or shorter. Gave UT the momentum and the game. -OU has terrible coaching. Stoops is good, but they failed to make any adjustments on defense, especially in the middle of the field, and Texas picked them apart there ALL GAME. Didn't help when your defensive leader is out for the game too. That, on top of all the dumb penalties was absurd. I swear to God, every time I watch these morons play, they're always committing a holding, or a personal foul penalty which kills key drives and momentum. Unbelievable OU, and I can't wait til Texas loses to Mizzou next week. That will be an even better game once Mizzou takes care of OK state tonight. Might be a #2 vs. #3/4, or a #1 vs. #2 depending on how the rest of the day shapes up. Well I'm one bitter fan right now, and it's time to hit the booze and deal with all the dumb UT fans the rest of the day. Thank God the NFL is tomorrow. After today, nobody will even care about this game anymore, as all focus on Sundays shifts to pro-football.
Oh I'm sure all the 'Bama boys and the SEC sycophants won't soon forget! BTW since you are an OU fan.. A sycophant (from the Greek ÃÆ’Ã…κοÆάνÄη sykophántÄ“s) is a servile person who, acting in his or her own self interest, attempts to win favor by flattering one or more influential persons, with an undertone that these actions are executed at the cost of his or her own personal pride, principles, and peer respect.

Agreed.
Thanks for the legal-speak, counselor. 
Actually, if someone catches the ball - or "gains control of it," if you prefer - in the end zone with feet on the ground, the play is over. It's either a touchdown or a pick - at that moment. If the individual then falls to the ground and the ball comes out, as the OU player did, it matters not.
I'm pretty sure the receiver's feet were not on the ground when he was in possession of the ball. We only watched it on reply 6 or 7 times. It looked like he was bobbling it when his feet were down, meaning that he had to maintain possession when he hit the ground. He didn't. Incomplete pass.
