That’s one of the biggest reasons that my 2 all time favorite Sooners are Q & Samaje. They both would just flip the ball to the ref like “yeah I just scored, & it ain’t no big deal because I’m gonna do it again.”
I was fortunate enough to get to see Earl Campbell play. Ken "The Snake" Stabler was the QB, and Houston Oilers was the team. The Astrodome was new and I was young! Good times!
The Astrodome was 13 years old in Earl’s first year of 1978.
Perine, Owens, Washington, Pruitt also played without the end zone antics….and the list goes on.
It sure felt new to me. I was 11 and the Astrodome was the first professional football venue I had ever been to.
It's even worse with defenders making a tackle for loss. They seem to have the need to preen after every tackle, often running ten yards behind the los. I don't understand why offenses don't line up quickly and run a play, while others are posing. Automatic five yards.
What’s even funnier to me is when a DB makes what he thinks is a PBU, gets up, makes the biggest pass incomplete signal he can make, & then looks down only to see that little yellow hankie at his feet. Maybe you should worry about actually making sure you made the play first before you hot dog it?
Lol. Man it was just getting out of control. I realize refs make bad calls and it’s frustrating but they were taking it to a whole other level. It was pathetic.
In fairness, it seemed like they called four total penalties on UDub, then took three of them back for whatever reason. Meanwhile, they called double digit penalties on the Horns. I'm no Lonhorn fan, but the disparity seemed unfair. Wahington didn't play that much cleaner. I think it was a Big Ten crew. They seemed to have it in for Texas from the beginning. I never pull for Texas in football but thought it would have been nice if we'd given Texas their only loss of the season.
