BAYLOR vs. TEXAS Game Thread

[Aikbach]

Well, unexpected performance, good and bad. UT's deep backfield has run well despite injury. Baylor's Care bear defense has stunningly tightened up and forced 4 turnovers, including three picks.

Looks like Ash will finish the fourth quarter, i expect it to be close in the end, the 17 point lead likely will not last.

Well looks like Baylor has pulled away now, 48-24 with 7:45 left in the fourth, incredibly that care bear defense forced five turnovers.

Griffin had nice but unspectacular game...for him at least.

Nice to beat Texas two years in a row, good season fellas, good luck with your bowl and see you next year in the new and reinvigorated Big 12, where 7 of the 10 teams in next year's conference will finish this season ranked.

We suck.

That one point Kansas State loss stings now, a 10-2 Baylor would be Fiesta Bowl bound.

Woot!

I can't believe Millen was so stupid as to say that Luck doesn't have the weapons around him that Griffin did... Even after talking about what a great running game Stanford has.

It's why he failed as a GM, Baylor's starting tight end is a Stanford transfer for pete sake, he was on the bench there.

Mack Brown shouldn't answer the phone if he's in a recruit's driveway anytime soon.

rg 3 is absolutely one phenomenal talent.

i compare him to randall cunningham...but i think he may be better than randall.

Fiesta Bowl might be setting your sights a bit high, that is where the Big 12 champ will end up and a 10-2 Baylor would finish behind a 10-2 OSU. Watching Luck versus Griffin would've been pretty sweet but I think the Cotton Bowl would have been more likely. All of the matchups after the Cotton Bowl look weak and uninteresting: Alamo vs Washington, Insight vs Iowa, Holiday vs Cal, Texas vs Penn St, Pinstripe vs Rutgers, Military vs UNC. The Big 12 shouldn't lose more than 1 bowl game this year (probably TAMU vs Penn St).

I do not think Luck is all that; but didn't he lose his #1 WR to injury for the season about halfway through?

You might be right, though I think that would've made baylor number two in the conference and up for a bid.

Either way it feels good to have the best college team in the state of Texas, something Baylor hasn't been since at least 1986.

 

[Aikbach]

Now Baylor is being projected as a Cotton Bowl participant, and KState a possible BCS, meaning had Baylor taken care of business their roles would be reversed.http://cfn.scout.com/2/557866.html

CBS has them playing either the Sugar Bowl or Cotton Bowl now. Either would be a great game for the Bears. As for best in the state, you still lost to TAMU

Yeah but you know that team of a two months ago is not the one on a roll right now, Baylor is the best football team in the state of Texas in the year 2011, pretty phenomenal.

It is certainly looking like it could be a banner year for Baylor athletics. Congrats on the recent success.

On a related note with regards to bowl games, Deloss Dodds is apparently campaigning the Houston Bowl not to take A&M. I don't really care seeing as the Houston Bowl is worthless and I'd just as soon not watch A&M in a bowl at all, but I think it's funny how butthurt he is over all this.

Virginia Tech played one decent team all year and got donkey stomped by them twice and are ranked 4 spots higher. If that isn't ******** enough they are also in a BCS Bowl game.

Baylor should be in the Cotton Bowl, but the Orange Bowl picked two teams ranked lower than Kansas State. Money talks.
