Some races have or can get spell resistance as racial traits - drow has 5 or 6+level, drow noble has 11+level, dwarf can have 5 or 6+level. Some other races can get those too.
He could also have a spell like lesser globe of invulnerability, which would be even better than SR against fireball.
Also, spell resistance spell, can be cast on touched creature and lasts for 10 min/level, so the wizard in question could have it cast on him by a 9th level cleric lasting for one and half hour. Or could cast it from a scroll with successful Use Magic Device check.
how does a 8th level wizard get spell resistance without any items that gives it spell resistance?
we killed one yesterday and he had spell resistance without any items.
was the dm being a douche, trying to Nerf a oracle of flame that casts dazing fireballs with a dc of 19?
You're lucky your DM allows the dazing metamagic feat at all.
There are several legitimate ways for a character to get spell resistance, be glad as someone else pointed out, that he didn't cast lesser globe of invulnerability.

But the enemy only need to defeat your group once and if dazing metamagic is allowed I'd expect it to be used on the group aswell.
I've seen players cry foul after launching their dazing metamagic spell only to be hit by the enemy's dazing spell. It's amazing how they can appreciate when something is too strong when used against them, but fail to recognize that power when they're using it.
