This Was Played On The Big Screen Before The Baylor Game

Edit: Video has been removed. I'll try to track down another copy. Edit: It was a version of this but better produced. I try not to whip you with Baylor football stuff because I know, well, it's a whippin'. But just a tad bit of background: For long over a decade Baylor has been awful. Just awful. Year after year I refuse to get my hopes up because I'm tired of them being dashed upon the shores of the Jordan River. (The last time I had my hopes up was in 2002 and then Cal hung 70 on Baylor in the opening game. Good call on my part.) All that said, this year was supposed to be different. A stellar coach in his second year. The second coming of Vince Young at QB. And a win in the first game of this season over Wake Forest who had beaten Baylor the year before and then went on to a bowl. All was right in the Baptist world. And then came last weekend. Connecticut flew into Waco a 10 point underdog and, in a three short hours, Baylor was 1-1 and looking as bad as they always have. (I stayed in depression until Decatur PD woke from a drunken stupor, handed me my blood and tear soaked Baylor pennant, and told me that someone had posted my bond.) But now I've learned what went wrong last weekend: Baylor actually played the above video on the big screen before the game. And now the Evil Empire has discovered this embarrassing fact and the beat down has begun. Have I not suffered enough?
