Maybe it's bad sporstsmanship,

to say 'the refs ROBBED us', but when it happens twice, in a close game, it's hard not to. We were at the CU/Oregon St game yesterday, (sitting right in front of the two worst calls, EVER), and it's hard to iamgine 'How could it happen?' To keep it short, the first was a 'pass interference' call, on CU, after they intercepted, to stop a drive. The Buff defender was watching the pass, from behind the receiver, and slowed down to make the catch, as the receiver ran into him. The closest official, called nothing, as he should. The 'not close' back judge waited until the return was well under way, after several blocks had been made, and THEN threw the flag. I thought it might be clipping. Nope. The Beavers went on to score the go-ahead TD. THEN, with the game on the line and CU driving, inside a minute left, the Buff receiver was OBVIOUSLY interferred with, and there was NO call. Blatant bad calls that cost CU the game and the fans and coach went crazy. Insane, but that's what happened. The Denver Post was FULL of articles saying the same thing, http://www.denverpost.com/colleges/ci_26665406/colorado-head-coach-mike-macintyre-upset-after-loss-oregon-state
Not sure why, or who was 'in charge', but I think the refs were told who was going to win, and they made sure it happened.
