I just got a note from reader Skip Oliva concerning Oklahoma University President David Boren's request to void the results of last Saturday's Oklahoma-Oregon game due to poor officiating that cost the Sooners a victory.
While some folks are claiming that Boren and the University have gone insane, I think it's all too predictable. It's been many years since the University of Oklahoma decided that its reputation as a college football power was far more important than its reputation as a center for higher learning -- a direction that I'm sure the vast majority of the residents of Oklahoma agree with. Looking at it in that light, Boren's actions make a boatload of sense. He's just looking after the interests of his constituents, the folks who helped put him in his job in the first place.
Bottom line here: Yawn.
