Baylor Could Topple Texas' Major Four Sports Record in Big 12

[Aikbach]

Baylor I think has now broken UT's overall win record for the main four sports.
If Baylor beats UT one more time in baseball tomorrow it will complete a total sweep in all four sports by the Bears over the Longhorns this sports season.

In that event some have suggested lighting the UT tower appropriately

Game tied in bottom of the 9th, do or die, or extra innings to come.

loaded bases evens series, a finale awaits tomorrow.

 

[Aikbach]

Well a heartbreaker, coulda, shoulda woulda had a trip to the World sSeries had a play in the last two games gone their way.

And so the 2011-2012 sport season ends without world series as an exclamation point for Baylor Athletics but with a tremendous overall performance just the same, one that saw NCAA records for program victories set, well done Bears, great things to build on going forward.

Sic Em.
