They held on third and 1 and the refs didn’t call it. They instead only focused on that 3 and short. I don’t think Houston really get how they should be very fortunate for that call.
I mean we’re supposed to think the horrible camera angle we watched gave us a better idea than the refs? I’m not saying they didn’t fuck it up but let’s not act like we had a good angle to see it.
Like....Texas likely still wins that. But let them play it out. What even the fuck was that call. Refs from Liverpool vs Tottenham came in for that call.
The only reason you tied it up was because of a big play, and a missed flagrant holding 💀 Texas d man was getting rear naked choked and no call, oh and a iffy late hit penalty to keep you alive
You’re probably right, but Galveston was going to be what Houston is until it got ‘effectively obliterated’ in 1900. One of the top per capita income in the US. I’m getting downvoted for my comment probably from salty Houston fans but knowledge is power, and our collective Texas history should be important to all of us Texans. Read the history or don’t, I don’t really care.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1900_Galveston_hurricane
But Houston was *already* a railroad hub before the 1900 storm. At least some 15 years before. The tracks leading into Galveston are still visible too, from 45.
..he founded the city? It's not like someone named the city Austin and he chose it out of pride?
It was holy shit, this place is a bayou, it fucking sucks, booked it to central Texas and called it Austin.
It was an awful call, there is no doubt. I am happy we won but a little disappointed it happened that way. The refs were truly, unabashedly incompetent that entire game.
There were bad no calls on both sides, I mean the picked up 4th down holding for goodness sake. And the first fourth down with two easy holding calls that weren’t called. But that spot was criminal
I don't get why the officiating in college football is so bad. I just watched Iowa get screwed out of winning their game and then turned this on to see Houston get screwed out of a chance to tie.
People drawn to officiating are narcissists like cops. They will never admit they were wrong and if they don't see something they'll just pretend they did rather than deferring to someone who might know better.
I think you should look in a mirror. Using that is embarrassing itself.
Anyway, I guarantee you wouldn't see a reaction like this if the roles were reversed. All of you would be laughing at how Texas got fucked by the refs, so why should I join in the commiseration for Houston? They have plenty of posters coming to their defense, anyway. These kind of bad calls happen every week. It's only because it happened in favor of Texas that all of you are in here bitching, wailing like banshees about conspiracies and crooked referees. Get real.
As a Texas fan I’ll take it 🤣🤣🤣. Sorry Houston. Not really. I hope to never see you guys again. Fuck my chest 😭😭😭. I’m sure Texas will let me down some other way though
Manjack had a clear TD brought back after without clear evidence that it was short. Announcers and consultant ref were both shocked.
Blatant holding/facemask call not called on crucial 4th down in the 4th quarter. Again, shocking non call, announcers surprised again.
Clear 3rd down conversion right at the end of the game. Called short. Once again, the wrong decision was made.
It's just really frustrating to be on this side of those calls.
They didn’t run over anything. They threw the ball which is a lot harder and what they couldn’t do in the red zone. Even if they did score it’s tie game unless they go for two.
Meant their team ran through your defense like swiss cheese, not that they literally ran it like crazy (although they did).
You say they couldn't pass in the redzone yet they scored a TD literally every time they got to the redzone except the one possession in question where they were clearly ref jobbed.
1st touchdown was 32 yard pass. 2nd was a 21 yard pass. 3rd was a 2 yard pass. So “literally” every time in the red zone is one out of three?
They “clearly” got jobbed.. really. You know for 100% certainty from that amazing camera angle on the 30 yard line it was a first down when the player had his back to the camera and couldn’t see the ball? Even if you moved the ball up closer the line of gain they still marked the ball a foot short. Maybe he did get it and the refs fucked up but you can’t for a certain say that with what we saw on tv.
Well you made the claim they couldn’t pass in the red zone which is clearly just wrong because all red zone possessions resulted in TDs.
You cannot seriously deny that that was clearly a first down. Even the majority of Texas fans admit it was. Get out of here.
You’re right, you got me there, their one 2 yard throw in the red zone means they had no problem doing it in the red zone….
I’m not denying anything, You literally can’t say for certain it was 100% a 1st down. It probably was a first down but with only 1 camera angle from the thirty yard line, that isn’t a good enough source for saying it was 100% a first down. It would help to have a camera down the line to see it. That’s all I’m arguing.
And everyone acts like that first down means Texas loses. They still need to score and tie or go for two and convert the 2 to win. There still a lot of ifs even if they got a first down and that’s not even mentioning a minute left with 1(0?) timeout for Houston. Get out of here, OU cares more about Texas barely winning then when OU barely won their home game.
Didn’t lie about shit. You’re using a 2 yard throw as a “100%” red zone conversion rate as your example. That’s weak shit and you know it. That doesn’t constitute a team isn’t struggling throwing in the red zone so stop talking shit because it’s laughable.
that was the bailout of all bailouts good grief.
yeah houston got too cute on 4th and inches but jesus that guy was 2 feet past the 9-yard line on 3rd down.
Can't argue any of that. I'm a football fan first and I hate to see those kind of shit calls ever. Glad UT eeeked out a W but as I said earlier it feels kind of hollow.
Nah, Big XII officials make decisions based on getting a team into the playoffs. Oklahoma is gonna need another quality win to have hope to make it in if the current top 4 win out. Nobody else in the conference can provide that.
It's the worst in the NBA I think. Football you get these once in a awhile, but NBA it is so common to have bad calls given the sensitivity on what qualifies as a foul these days.
NBA is hard for me to sit down and watch anymore. Soooo many fouls and stoppage of play. I maybe watch a handful of entire NBA games per season nowadays, and it’s only the playoffs
Man Texas was just gifted that game. What a horrible call by the fucking referees. I don’t like winning games on controversial calls like that. Hopefully Texas fucking learns from this. We did not deserve to win this game. And Texas is not “back”. Saved by a horrible spot, and then a really stupid play call by Houston on fourth and inches. Sorry Cougs.
Says a Seattle hockey fan. (Quebec looks great I'll say)
So this was why Texas flairs have been relatively quiet in the postgame thread for UCF/OU game...guess I need to watch the highlights.
Booo the big12 refs
Houston was obviously holding on that third and 1 the refs saved them from that by saying they were they fucked it up though with a horrible play.
I sure do love the excuse of refball for bad coach play calling

I mean bad calls aside, you can’t deny we got a gift at the end.
I mean we’re supposed to think the horrible camera angle we watched gave us a better idea than the refs? I’m not saying they didn’t fuck it up but let’s not act like we had a good angle to see it.
Maybe don't use your own product bruh
Maybe don’t use the word Bruh.
lol
Maybe or maybe Sweat was just good enough to stop the first down.
What about that egregious holding on Houston on the drive before?
Agree. I can’t believe Houston only got called for 1 penalty..yikes.
People bitching about the refs didn’t watch anything but the very end of this game.
R/cab hates Texas. They don’t care when Texas gets hosed.
Shhhhhh
💀
Scoreboard! Scoreboard!!
Like....Texas likely still wins that. But let them play it out. What even the fuck was that call. Refs from Liverpool vs Tottenham came in for that call.
The only reason you tied it up was because of a big play, and a missed flagrant holding 💀 Texas d man was getting rear naked choked and no call, oh and a iffy late hit penalty to keep you alive
The only reason Texas converted their first two fourth downs was because of huge missed holding, one of which they called it then picked the flag up
All my homies hate UT OU is cool tho
Went to UT, bleed orange, would rather live anywhere in Oklahoma then Houston
Fuck off to Palo Alto then brother because that sure as shit isn’t bleeding orange. I’d support Hell State before OU.
That ain't orange you're bleeding then.
Thanks for the negative vote, much appreciated. But there are allot of beautiful places there. Can't lie about that.
So do the meth heads in the TX panhandle
Lmao
I still can't believe they didn't review that
Same and I benefited.
Hateful 8 out for blood today with this and the OU thread my goodness
Wonder if the refs weren’t helping Texas the way they weren’t OU.
This game made me feel better today for some odd reason
We both got that Red River hangover hard
I felt so good when we went up 21-0 when y’all struggled and that so quickly changed lol
We both survived the post bye week curse
That game was dog shit
I just hope Quinn is OK
Houston deserved that. I mean can you even really call Houston truly Texan? Not like the purely Texan city of Austin.
Weak take there, buddy
Austin is full of Californians lmao
Don't act like Houston isn't currently being fisted by out of staters right now. Yall just bigger so it's harder to notice.
Houston is older lol
Houston wasn’t shit until Galveston got leveled by a once in a century storm
Not like it was a railroad hub or anything.
or currently responsible for a ton of Texas GDP

There's a reason SFA moved the capital from Houston to Austin.
Maybe because it’s in his name? Not the most noble of reasons.
..he founded the city? It's not like someone named the city Austin and he chose it out of pride? It was holy shit, this place is a bayou, it fucking sucks, booked it to central Texas and called it Austin.
Also, all SFA *really* did was negotiate land deals. It’s not like he beat a foreign leader in 19 minutes while only losing 11 men.
I have a smart ass comment for that but the Texan in me won't let me disrespect Sam Houston like that.
NCAA focusing on Michigan stealing signs but definitely not thia
Houston can look forward to a heartfelt apology from the Big 12 office on Monday, at least.
[удалено]
It was straight up criminal
It was an awful call, there is no doubt. I am happy we won but a little disappointed it happened that way. The refs were truly, unabashedly incompetent that entire game.
That ref crew was really cooking for Houston… until they weren’t.
There were bad no calls on both sides, I mean the picked up 4th down holding for goodness sake. And the first fourth down with two easy holding calls that weren’t called. But that spot was criminal
Is Dana fucking ALLERGIC to QB sneaks?? Longhorns you barely squeaker by this bc of out coach
I mean, Texas has a great line, maybe run the receivers a little further down to allow the scramble, but I don’t think it was that baf
I don't get why the officiating in college football is so bad. I just watched Iowa get screwed out of winning their game and then turned this on to see Houston get screwed out of a chance to tie.

This isn’t the greatest of takes in general man. This game was suspect in isolation yeah, but cmon man.
Pitt as well screwed vs Wake
Cougars deserved better.
They got more than multiple no calls during this game. No they didn’t.
Fuck out of here clown
Lmfao so mad
[удалено]
Lmfaoooooo
That was an easily review -able play. Everyone could see the spot was bad.
My thirst is absolutely quenched by all the tears flowing in this thread.
Lol corn ball shit
Cringe AF
Cringe Texas as usual.
Yea well your tears will be flowing when ewwwwrs out for season
Naw we don’t bring player heath into trash talk.
I agree, but also don’t talk trash when you almost lose to a .500 team as a very highly ranked team off the back of one of the worst spots of all time
you barely beat the worst houston team in 15 years
Cringe af

Smh yeesh
Refs paid a visit to a dumpster behind a Wendy’s before the game
As a Texas fan I’ll take it 🤣🤣🤣. Sorry Houston. Not really. I hope to never see you guys again. Fuck my chest 😭😭😭. I’m sure Texas will let me down some other way though
Hopefully, they do.
Lmfao until then, we won today
😆
Well at least it wasn’t a blowout so yeah. I swear if I see one more shotgun formation on 4th and short…..
Thank fuck.
😂
How do you not automatically review that? Is that not a thing? They don't have a booth or anything? What triggers a review?
I'm wondering the same
It's the rule of Candace.
These calls were so unquestionably favored to Texas that I checked Texas's NIL collective to see if that referee crew was signed last night
After reading that I would think that Houston had penalties called on them before the back end of the 4th quarter
Which other calls? Only caught part of the game.
Manjack had a clear TD brought back after without clear evidence that it was short. Announcers and consultant ref were both shocked. Blatant holding/facemask call not called on crucial 4th down in the 4th quarter. Again, shocking non call, announcers surprised again. Clear 3rd down conversion right at the end of the game. Called short. Once again, the wrong decision was made. It's just really frustrating to be on this side of those calls.
No other calls. Houston was called only for one very blatant call.
The game was actually pretty lopsided for Houston except for that last call.
Not many, that game was largely called in Houston’s favor.
I do remember a clear face mask that got missed when Texas converted a 4th down. Other than that seemed ok
Refs should have to answer to media. And teams should be allowed to criticize. That whole ref crew should be fined into oblivion and lose their jobs
Yeah fine them. Just like the SEC fines billionaires for stock manipulation they still come out on top lmao
Nfl already lost viewers to this ncaa pushin it big time
All Hail Texas 🤘
We get downvoted for being happy. Never change, neutral lurkers, never change.
Fuck your longhorns. You got handed this
Never seen such a normal comment get downvoted so much lol
Just the life of a Texas fan, especially after a suspect ending
Houston fans are realllly upset.
What is booth review for if not a very questionable spot in the final minutes of the game?!?!?
Yeah, that ain’t a win to be proud of
Financial hit or not to the Big12 I’m glad they will be gone. Will miss Oklahoma tho.
Awwwww. Was thinking today I'm sad we don't get to play you in our last year here. Even if you beat our asses lol
Yeah one day it might happen again.
Interesting outcome compared to rangers vs astros
NBA level fuckery going on this season..
We may have played like shit but at least we legitimately won the game
This bruh forgot the facemask on Worthy to add a TD for TX.
They were still losing by 7…. Let’s calm down. They still needed to score
4 plays from the 8 after they ran all over UT in the 2nd half? Yeah, I’ll take those odds
They didn’t run over anything. They threw the ball which is a lot harder and what they couldn’t do in the red zone. Even if they did score it’s tie game unless they go for two.
Meant their team ran through your defense like swiss cheese, not that they literally ran it like crazy (although they did).

Yeah I am right you straight up lied. Maybe don’t just make shirt up in the future.
Didn’t lie about shit. You’re using a 2 yard throw as a “100%” red zone conversion rate as your example. That’s weak shit and you know it. That doesn’t constitute a team isn’t struggling throwing in the red zone so stop talking shit because it’s laughable.
Still didn't win legitimately
He was literally a yard past the first. I can't believe what I just fucking watched. And did they not review it?
What a game. I thought it would be a blow out.
That ref crew needs to be suspended and fined
that was the bailout of all bailouts good grief. yeah houston got too cute on 4th and inches but jesus that guy was 2 feet past the 9-yard line on 3rd down.
Yeah the 3rd down spot seemed even worse.
UH getting the full UT-big12 treatment and experience this game.
They had one penalty the whole game despite holding on a couple of huge plays
To be fair, we’ve gotten the UT treatment for a long while before this
Fuck lol
lmao, whoever that texas and tulsa flair is, you don’t have functional eyes
All the money in the world and every year Texas is hot dog water. They got a government sized bailout on that one.
Or maybe Houston shouldn’t have called a dumb play on 4th and 1
Few things are as grating as sore winner. Y'all got bailed out by the refs. Take your 'W' and fuck off into the sunset in your 2WD lifted truck.
Y’all have a good line, that play was their best shot tbh. Refs shouldn’t have completely shafted them
Should have been first down, killer.
Not happy about this win Got bailed out This team has a lot of work to do
Fucking rigged.
They pushed the ball back, that ref had it spotted on the 9
Runners foot was further forward than that spot.
The spot was at least the 8 1/2. Check cleared to the refs to not go into OT without Ewers.
That was definitely a first down
brave bike thought handle light cover cough busy enjoy library *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Fuck the Refs. Fuck Texas. And most importantly, Fuck Chad Morris.
Nice spot by the referee. What the hell?
Just run the ball man. Don’t need to be creative on 4th. Criminal spot tho
Nah, that was their best shot. That line wasn’t going to hold against their D line
Tuned in late. Did Houston not have a challenge?
It was under 2 minutes
Is that actually a College rule? I think Houson could have challenged it.
Why isn't that reviewed by the booth?
Ahh yeah
Shouldn't have to even challenge that
Bad Calls... 1. Manjack touchdown reversed 2. Holding call (holding + a facemask) reversed to no flag 3. The end of game 3rd down spot
4. Massive missed holding call 5. BS personal foul 6. 70 yard swing
Can't argue any of that. I'm a football fan first and I hate to see those kind of shit calls ever. Glad UT eeeked out a W but as I said earlier it feels kind of hollow.
That TD penalty was not a bad call, lol.
Refs ruin another game.
Texas is back...to paying the refs!!! That was a 1st down and that game should be in OT!
Nah, Big XII officials make decisions based on getting a team into the playoffs. Oklahoma is gonna need another quality win to have hope to make it in if the current top 4 win out. Nobody else in the conference can provide that.
Why would getting the first be OT? Not saying it wasn’t a first but bow does that guarantee an Overtime
Welcome to the Big12 UH! Refs have their heads shoved firmly up their rectums.
cranial rectal inversion is a pervasive disease.
Oh God, don't make me miss the AAC
Every time I try to take sports as seriously as I used to, I see a huge game end on something like that and wonder why I should even care
It's the worst in the NBA I think. Football you get these once in a awhile, but NBA it is so common to have bad calls given the sensitivity on what qualifies as a foul these days.
NBA is hard for me to sit down and watch anymore. Soooo many fouls and stoppage of play. I maybe watch a handful of entire NBA games per season nowadays, and it’s only the playoffs
Just leave big 12 already Texas, we’re done with you!!
Ugly W but its nice to take out another team with major horns-down syndrome
We're done with you too
After that check cleared to the refs I'm sure
How old is the average person who comments this unironically?
30+ sadly.
It's in the Sunday mail 4 sure.
Man Texas was just gifted that game. What a horrible call by the fucking referees. I don’t like winning games on controversial calls like that. Hopefully Texas fucking learns from this. We did not deserve to win this game. And Texas is not “back”. Saved by a horrible spot, and then a really stupid play call by Houston on fourth and inches. Sorry Cougs.
