I haven't had a chance to watch the game, normally would have watched late after kid to bed, but didn't work out. Did Langston have to be carried off? If so not sure how anyone would think he is playing Sat?

I just don't see us winning many games without him. We absolutely need some bench scoring.

What you need, oldsour69, is to remember this is a game played by a team that has been very, very good in recent years, and is still a well-respected group this season.

You really should switch to decaf, get more naps, something to be more human and less spiteful in your posts. It's not a good look for you, man.

You have to make stops to smoke anyone. I'll believe we can defend Texas well enough to blow them out when I see it. I expect another shootout.


Smoking another team implies said team will play a shred of defense.

Says the guy who blames the refs and sleeping in different beds ,,,,u can't really be saying because we've had good teams in the past that equates to being good this year?? I like ur sleeping in strange beds analogy better ,,, btw it hasn't been that many years we were wining 11/12 games in football… are we still highly regarded? Stop living in the past ,,, we'll be lucky to finish 2-3,,, more like 1-4…unless they sleep in their own beds ,,,,

poorreadingeffort69: " because we've had good teams in the past that equates to being good this year?"

OK, one more time since you ignored the last time.

FACT: Baylor is ranked eleventh (11th) in both the AP and Coaches' polls. That's out of more than three hundred college programs. That is objective evidence that Baylor is a very good team.

FACT: The NET rankings, which is the primary metric used to rate NCAA basketball teams, has Baylor ranked 13th even after the loss to BYU. Again, that is objective evidence that Baylor is a very good team.

FACT: The NCAA released their early top seeds last weekend, and the NCAA counted Baylor as a 3 seed, which yet again is objective evidence that Baylor is a very good team.

Now you can insult my knowledge of the game; that does not matter because it's just opinion.

You can mock my years of experience as an official at multiple levels; that also does not matter, especially since you have never once seen me work a game, anywhere at any time.

But at the end of the day, two facts are objectively clear:

1. Baylor is a very good team.
2. You are not a very good fan

What in the world gives you the idea that I owe you anything?

Go ahead and whine/mope/piss-your-pants like you have all season, 69.

The only predictions I will make where you are concerned, are as follows:

1. I will believe Baylor is capable of winning any game they play
2. I will cheer the team, win or lose
3. I will give my honest opinion, whether praising or critical, but I will not trash the players or the coaches
4. Every time Baylor has a good game, you will disappear or pretend they did not do anything worth your praise

As expected, you pay no attention to the facts.

You just keep repeating the same failed whine.

I actually pity you .
