Just Smiling: Baylor Goes To The Elite 8 For Second Time In Three Years


The next game is against Kentucky to get to the Final Four. Never heard of 'em. Should be a cake walk.

Edit: To you Baylor fans out there (especially the young ones), enjoy this Saturday night. At this moment and in this place, you have a Heisman Trophy winner, a men's basketball team in the Elite Eight, and a women's team that joined them this afternoon. Yeah, it's just sports. In the grand scheme of things, it means nothing. But in life there is the concept of pride. When it gets too big  and it controls you, it can be a very bad thing. But in the beginning -- the first time it really, really erupts after years of being dormant -- it makes you believe that nothing is impossible. Ask TCU after the Rose Bowl. Ask UT after Vince Young scampered to win a National Championship. It makes you want to got out, set a goal, and live.

As the Sports Illustrated story said . . . .

It's a good day.
