The lasting effect of the beat down we took last Thursday is that every team now has a blue print on how to shut us down. Put everyone on the line. Force us to run around the edges. Force us to pass. Thankfully, not every team can get away with that. According to defensive coordinator Larry Hoefer, Baylor can't "put eight or nine guys up there every play..." leaving his "your corners on an island like that on every play." Good. Fran may not be interested in statement, but I am. The last three Baylor-Texas A&M games have been decided by a total of 14 points and two of them went into overtime. To remove that "cloud of negativity surrounding us right now" we need to do better than that. No overtimes, no narrow margins. It has been four years since we fed them the 73-10 loss. I think it is time for a game like that again.

As poster The SamHedrin pointed out, the game is on Versus. Yes that is right. We are on par with the Tour de France and the NHL.
