What an AMAZING game. Everyone gave their all tonight. Can't wait to buy my Baylor National Champion shirt to go with the 2012 Lady Bears 40-0 shirt. Any bet on how soon Rally House will have Baylor champ shirts available?

He is in my thoughts as well. No doubt he's high fiving all around.

Wish he was here for one with me.

Absolutely. Just totally in the gutter with almost no hope in sight.

Love watching that old video of Drew talking about playing for NCAA titles when he first got to BU. Really glad they played that tonight.

I was cracking up in the first half when we were throttling them because this board kept crashing. I'm like our team is melting Sicem365.

It's mind blowing to watch a commercial on National TV about where you can order your NCAA champion Baylor gear
