At least it wasn't a TD.

But Baylor went into Baylor mode late second quarter.

Consistently inconsistent.

To those wondering why the crowd sounds quiet…
1. Crowd doesn't know how to respond to a fast start
2. We're 2-3 in conference play with only 2 winnings seasons under our 6th year head coach



Actually, it had been sprinkling off and on until we kicked our 2nd made FG. Then the rain started steadily but not h particularly hard. Half the crowd immediately made a beeline for the concourses. Those of us who sat through the deluges at Kyle Field in 1980 or at Teaff's last game in 1992 decried their wussiness.

OL has looked pretty solid today… but Fugar got worked twice there on consecutive plays

You sure that was Fugar? I saw Sean Thompkins getting beat both plays that almost got Sawyer killed.

Totally random question: Did SMU take our hype guy/emcee? Could have sworn I saw him hyping SMU when we played there earlier in the season, and today at McLane our hype guy does not seem to be the dude I recall from last year (and yes, I know he lost weight)

Totally lost track of the game because of unexpected phone stuff.

What the hell is going on here?


In a weird turn of events, BU is winning going into the half.


Yep...this his foreign territory for this team. Do they know how to finish with a big lead?

That wasn't on the sheet of Arandalytics.

I thought the same thing at the game in Dallas. It sure sounded like the same guy.

I stand corrected. Thompkins. No Fugar. Guess to many penalties?

Call the right blitz and can't get the quarterback down. This defense is so freaking frustrating.

I know the guy. Ran into him on the concourse after the game at SMU. SMU guy was sick/unavailable so he filled in. May be a similar thing today.

Both are bad. One's a walking holding penalty and the other actually allows the sacks.

Yep, a touchdown probably ends this one. Go put this game away.

Wet field and heavy ball favors us right now. Going to be hard to hit long field goals today.

Innocent mistake! We certainly had grown accustomed to that name with all the holding penalties that stalled big drives!
