all the missed opportunities we feel on our side...SMU has left 9 pts off the board from missed FGs.

While I appreciate the misses. As a Dad of an athlete, I feel for that kid.

SMU called a timeout hoping to get him to change his mind

Massive, massive win.

Dave Aranda needs to fire himself as DC, but his team plays very hard for and never quits on him.

What a comeback for the good guys.

That Good old Baylor Line
That Good old Baylor Line
We'll march forever down the years
As long as stars shall shine
We'll fling our Green and Gold afar
To light the ways of time
And guide us as we onward go
That good old Baylor Line.

I mentioned that due to our D, we would beat nobody notable this year. Well happily I am wrong. In my estimation anyone in the Top 25 is notable.
