[QUOTE="Zebra Frog, post: 3352700, member: 184"] As others have said, it's not hard for anybody to believe that a booster could pay off an official, and each of us has to choose to believe it's being done, or that officials are beyond reproach. It's kind of like believing that elected officials of both parties, aren't being paid to represent certain political groups. I'm on the side that I'm not aware of any elected official, from a school board member to the POTUS that isn't being paid on the side to vote one way or the other. But, I also believe that if an official of a sport is accepting bribes, it is a very isolated case. We are allowed to believe what we want and choose to believe. I'm not naive enough to think that there aren't any officials accepting bribes, and it wouldn't surprise me that there aren't players doing the same thing. However, I've never been exposed to or met one personally. But, politicians are all a little dirty, aren't they? At any rate, my thoughts on the game yesterday are that the Frogs played a Hell of a game, maybe the best game they have ever played, and got screwed by a call/non-call at the end of the game. The Big 12 office should issue a statement saying the calls were missed, but that's probably never going to happen. That would be similar to former President Trump making a statement that he lost the 2020 election legally, or President Biden saying he never made any money from Ukraine. [/QUOTE]
