Luke Skywalker Confronting Evil
Someone mentioned yesterday that I didn't reference Texas vs. Baylor in Random Thoughts. (Today at 2:30 on ABC.) You know, I didn't want to talk about it. After over a decade of suffering (and I do mean suffering), Baylor has had a good to very good season. Eight wins including taking down TCU and Oklahoma. Wishing for a win over Texas seems downright selfish.
But I want it.
A big offensive production and a win means a 9-3 record, QB Robert Griffin potentially becoming a Heisman favorite, and nirvana for me. That's too much to ask, isn't it? We can't "spread the wealth" around that much. It's downright Un-American. In this 100th meeting, Texas holds a commanding series lead of 73-23-4. Sheesh.
Then again, Baylor fans have been wandering in the desert looking for the Promised Land for a long, long time.
Edit after 1st quarter: Baylor 14, Texas 7. Get this: Baylor has run 7 offensive plays for 139 yds. 2 drives, 2 TDs
Edit after 2nd quarter: Baylor 24, Texas 21. This is a bad Texas team depleted by injuries, and they may still win this thing. Baylor's defense is horrible. Secret tip to Mac Brown: Run the ball on every down.
Edit after 3rd quarter: Baylor 41, Texas 24. How Texas cannot recruit a quarterback is beyond belief. McCoy is horrible. And a personal sidenote: UT Defensive back Blake Gideon is extremely overrated. Oh, and the game? I'm not comfortable at all. If UT would put Ash in but still run the ball, this thing gets tight. Huge. Quickly.
Edit after 4th quarter and end of game: Baylor 48, Texas 24. I'm weeping on my couch as I hold my Baylor pennant. (But if you didn't win after six turnovers, you should be crying for other reasons.) We have arrived at the land of milk and honey. And the college kids didn't even rush the field. Oh, how the might have fallen. Did I say I'd be in nirvana? Cue Nirvana.

Re: Evil Empire or Everyday is Longhorn Day
An elementary school I know of on Fridays encourages the kids to wear a T-shirt or jersey from their favorite college team.
The day is called College Day, but so many kids wear Texas Longhorn stuff that they changed it to Longhorn Day.
The school's principal once asked a kid how he was enjoying Longhorn Day and the kid replied that to him everyday was Longhorn Day. Principal emails Mack Brown about the kid saying that everyday is Longhorn Day. In reply Coach Brown sent the kid autographed Longhorn gear.
Texas wins by 6
I predict RG3 and his merry band of Ewoks (er bears) will defeat the Evil Empire! May the force be with you BG.
Yea, in Borg World (Longhorn World), everyday is Borg Day. We are the Borg. Existence, as you know it, is over. Resistance is futile. Hook em, Borg.

So good to hear about Baylor "taking down" TCU instead of "Blew away" TCU. Go Frogs!!!
TCU, Texas Tech, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri....
All have fallen to the Bears... What a great Season
RG3
Sic Em Bears:)
Congrats, Barry. But think about it. Ken Starr takes over and The Bears start to win. I smell something unholy about this.
Sideline pass today....got rg3's autograph....just couldn't resist getting....he may not be back.
Would email pics but don't want to give away identity.
He's cute. Love his music. Gonna go buy. But what do you mean I'd be in Nirvana?
Barry will you please start posting music like you did here daily. I'd like to play music on my computer everyday but don't have a library or know where to download. I use to use bearshare or something like that.
Daily Random Music Post!
Had Texas not lucked out beating sloppy A&M, it might be Mack Brown out of a job rather than Sherman. It is truly amazing how UT & A&M get first choice of available recruits but TCU and now Baylor do better with superior coaches and coaching. (Not to mention OU & OSU with their rosters full of ex-patriot Texans).
I would lay down for Kurt :)
Barry, congrats on the win. RGIII is fantastic! I hope he wins the Heisman.
UT's quarterback woes are staggering. I think we left McCoy in the game just to show the pro-McCoy fans (including his demanding Dad) how bad he is.
Gideon isn't overrated. We all know he's painfully slow, poor in coverage and sporting an over/under on personal fouls of 1.5/game. "Worst 4-Year Starter in UT History!"
