Don't try to sit on the lead. Football? OU?

Officiating looks surprisingly even. Got to love a double-digit halftime lead at the Phog, but there is still another half to play.

Excellent! Bears showed lots of composure in weathering a prolonged cold streak, while in the toughest gym to play in the conference. We know the Bears are really good in the 1st half, we also know that the games tend to tighten up in the 2nd half. Cautiously optimistic!

Never seen them play like this at their place. Best team in Drew era? There's a good chance.
And next year we replace Bandoo and Gillespie with Flagler and a healthy Clark.

Great time to be a Bear fan!

if refs continue staying out of game it will be a game. We'll see what happens when we are at the 5 minute mark in 2nd half.

Prediction for the number of calls against Baylor the first 5 minutes? I promise Self is pointing out that the officiating is even and that Baylor has taken more foul shots.

Who cares what KU does the 2nd half. How about what BU does second half.

TV guys are so far up KU butt. Refs need to let them play in the 2nd half.
