Was waiting for this comment, it's not really a game thread until your opening line has made its way to the thread

What's the game fashion attire? I can take solace win or lose if we look cool.

How do you watch the game? It's on something called "the CW network" and I got the CW app but of course the game is not listed in the schedule.

Should be on most providers. MLB/NFL fans will be familiar with the PxP voice - Thom Brenneman, who is much better than most college game announcers. But their color analyst sucks unless they got a new one.

Big storms rolled through Dallas last night - a sign that the Bears arrived and ready to stomp the ponies. Baylor wins big in a high scoring battle. If you are betting - take the over.

(Dave is on the phone with Linda asking if the concept of a spy is consistent with her vision for the school)

I do too. Unfortunately he's coaching them, not us.

I'm the opposite. Love morning games. Get up early to get some fishing in before watching the Bears. Perfect fall Saturday

Very poor SMU turnout 15 minutes before kick.

Maybe they still on The Boulevard.

It went along racial lines.

Baylor is invited to the cookout, apparently.

Ponies better enjoy Rhett Lashlee.. with this poor support and jobs opening up as usual after the season (i.e possibly Arkansas and Alabama) he ain't long for this place.
