So was it officially announced and I just missed it? Pretty obvious Grimes is redshirting if he's not getting into this game and he's not on the injury list.

Flagler's handle looked a lot smoother. Probably combination of skill work and healthy ankle/knee. Very good sign.

Drew was spot on about Love. Is understandably hesitant to explode off the leg and also the actual first college ball game played. Will be good in a few months. Would make 5 very good guards which is difficult for any college level team to handle.

I thought he made pretty significant progress toward the end of last year. I think a lot of it was just getting more comfortable in that role and accepting that it's ok to be a scoring point guard rather than trying to force passes for distribution's sake. But clearly, it's helped to have an entire offseason to work on those aspects of his game.

I don't think we really need him. This guard group is really good. And we've got three guys who can share the point guard duties in George, Flagler and Bonner.

If we can get him redshirted and let our staff work its player development magic, he'll be ready to rock and roll next year with more playing time available.

ESPN minus is bad and it should feel bad

People get way too worked up over the bells and whistles of internet broadcasts. 15 years ago, you'd have either been listening to John Morris or using a game tracker if you wanted to keep up with a game like yesterday's. And 10 years ago, you'd have been paying for a terrible school-produced video feed.

We, as fans, now get basically every Baylor sporting event broadcast and available at an affordable monthly rate, and we're mad that our game against one of the worst teams in DI isn't network quality.

Unless it's like the Texas State football broadcast last year, where the cameras couldn't follow the action, I'm not complaining too much. It wasn't long ago that we had to listen to half of our football games on the radio because they weren't picked up by TV. Give me decent video and I can live with the odd graphics glitch or substandard commentating.

That's just it, the tracker DOESNT WORK on espn minus games. I can't and won't use espn minus, and it makes the way to follow it which you dismiss as inferior unuseable. Game trackers are superior to most espn minus broadcasts, ironically unless the game is being broadcast by espn minus, in which case the tracker is every bit as **** as the broadcast itself, because the same people who are terrible at their jobs that put on the garbage production are clearly also the same people in charge of running the tracker.

And the alternative is nothing. So, take your pick.

It isn't remotely true to suggest that game trackers are superior to any video feed. And with a few notable exceptions, ESPN+ broadcasts are fine for the most part.
