Oklahoma, after scoring a TD had the PAT attempt blocked and returned for a score by Texas. Only problem was, no one apparently knew how to score it.
For about 20 seconds after Texas had returned the blocked kick for a score, the scoreboard still read 6 - 0. 20 seconds may not seem long, but anyone watching football knows that the score gets updated almost immediately, following a scoring change.
The announcers stated the obvious -- that Texas had scored -- but would not say how many points they had scored; normally they'd announce the updated score as soon as it occurred (the second TD, the score was updated the second the Oklahoma running back crossed the goal line).
Just as they were about to go to a commercial break, apparently someone fed the announcers the rules -- that the return was good for 2 points -- and they announced the score, 6 - 2, Oklahoma.
I had a good laugh.
