17-7 and under 12 timeout. Extended the lead from 9 to 10. If we keep extending this lead, we will not lose.

a little lackadaisical. Interesting that Nuni is in the game before Maston.


Something wrong with TJ's uniform.

He is wearing 34, he was up and walking to the table then he went back, and one of the trainers ran to the locker room. Not sure what is going on

I hope Baylor and Drew send Fran a nice Christmas present every year since he is our biggest PR guy on TV. Can't buy that kind of good press every few days on national TV.

Our inside out passing game is really good

No box out from ou there. That has to be frustrating to their fans.
