Official game thread is back.

Gonna be a really intradasting day, and probably an even more intradasting post game atmosphere here.

It's going to be intradasting either win or lose.

Intradasting - is that a funky amalgam of "interesting" and maybe "disaster" or "dastardly"?

We need to win pretty today. I prefer convincingly, but I will settle for pretty. No more of this down 21 at the half **** and a fourth quarter comeback.

A loss means Aranda must go. Preferably today, but I will tolerate a late November hire.

Let us pray:

O mighty and powerful Sailor Bear
we humbly bow down to you today
with your divine image emblazoned on our helmets
Give us the courage and strength we need
to vanquish the faux medieval knights from the east
so that we may fully enjoy and relish
this most holy annual Baylor creation
Homecoming

Amen

I saw a picture that was posted about 15 minutes ago, and it was an absolute joke.

I'm here. Maybe maybe 20k if we are lucky. If we keep Aranda after this homecoming crowd we might as well self relegate to the sunbelt. It's pathetic.

At least we know the field today won't be overwatered muck like in Phoenix.

That was a great drive. This offense has the capability of being very, very good. It's lacked consistently, obviously, but that's likely a product of pressing as a result of being paired with one of the worst defenses in the country.

Blame Disney, who blacked out ABC and espn stations, plus SEC, on YouTube TV. They are trying to push subscribers to HULU. I'm blacked out too. Listening on radio.

I never doubted that we would come out and look good, and I think that we win handily. This team always starts playing much better when the rumblings about Dave's job security start up.
