Dropped calls are like dropped balls. They are part of the game. My grandmother put herself through The University of Oklahoma back in the late 20's and early 30's. She loved that school, therefore I tend to root for the Sooners, in her memory. However, I have to admit I kind of liked those calls, because they added some fun to the finish. Over the years I have grown to like college ball a lot more than the NFL, mostly because the teams stay put and they sort of represent something. Even though the NCAA totally sucks as an organization and it still clings to a bizzarre amature code, that was origionally created for the expressed purpose of keeping poor and working class people out of sports. I still can't help love the spirit and excitement that is unique to the college game....Bad calls? Perhaps, but I love it!!

 As a person who likes Ok, I am dissapointed in this. It is bad form and poor sportsmanship. College coaches are not NFL coaches. They are instructors in their schools atheletic depts. The coach at Ok should know enough about sports to know that the NCAA can't drop the results of the game. It was not and would not even have been the last play of the game (even if it was, they still don't do that). He is just posturing for his angry fans and setting a bad example for his and future players.  
The only time this sort of talk is called for (from a scholastic or youth coach) is if there is credible evidence that the refs were bribed and made the call deliberatly.
