Officiating Snafu

[surrealvol]

Am I the only one who saw Greg Oden intentionally push the Xavier player for his fifth foul...totally obvious that it was intentional...but, of course, this is OSU and, in my opinion, the officials can't have the Buckeyes getting upset, so no intentional call made...!!!

the football team could learn a thing or two from Oden when comes to hittin' seeing how they did in the National Championship game

Yeah we discussed it quite a bit already. It was pretty bad IMO, he was taking out his frustration and totally, intentionally, shoved the guy hard to the ground with no respect to the ball or the game. I like a hard game, but is this basketball or hockey?

It was a love tap. lol

They couldn't have called it! it would have screwed up the refs brackets.

“I just look at that foul as, they’re going to call bull crap fouls,” Oden said. “I might as well get one that’s hard.”

 

[volley]

what a crybaby. Man I hope he goes Pro now and never amounts to anything (except his mandatory signing bonus and contract). Many people with much more knowledge than I say he is great and has 'it'. I don't see 'it' though, and I would love to see him continue to struggle.

if we get past UVA, I would love to see us hand it to Oden & the gang...

The failure to call Oden's foul intentional wasn't half as egregious as the charge call on DJ Strawberry at the end of the Maryland game.

I'm serious when I say this, if it was a Volunteer committing that foul, he would have been ejected.

 

[VolsHoops5]

Look here were talking about though. The beast himself

 

[OWB]

Ohio State just seems to get the calls (or no calls). Let's not forget our game with them. That was one of the worst this season when it came to officiating and that's saying a lot.

That was one of the worst calls I have ever seen...

If you haven't seen it:

YouTube - Oden's not-called intentional against Xavier

Most likely, his last play in a college uniform. He should fit right in with the Kobes of the world in the NBA.

I agree with you. I don't see "it" in Oden. It seems like the only thing he is good at is dunking. I know he is a freshman and still has learning to do, but I think it takes more than a good dunker to be special. A player that has 8 to 10 inches on another should be able to dunk. That doesn't make him special.

True. That was terrible
