Fran giving Aaron Bruce a lot of love, basically calling him the most important player in the Drew era and the catalyst for the turnaround.

49-24 Baylor @ 14:48 media timeout
ha- I don't know about that. But he was a good piece. Baylor played an exhibition game against his team and if memory serves me right, there was a big that they were most interested in. But Bruce put on such a show that Baylor was like "see if we can get him in Waco".

Yeah, the Bruce piece was a bit overstated. He was definitely an important piece of the puzzle in the early years though.

Acuil is starting to gain some serious confidence on both ends which should seriously scare the rest of the Big 12.

once Woodard was out, this one was a laugher. I wish I knew that he wasn't gonna play, would have profited nicely.

nobody is beating us if we play like we do tonight...

Wasn't he named to the all decade team, or some such?

Refs calling a different half. Lots of whistles this half vs none last. Let's play ball guys. It's a 33pt game

This is looking like a Baylor WBB type conference score.

Up by 30 on the road with eight minutes left.

We good!
