You're goin' down, Raiders...

[Obstructed_View]

I've got to get my smack talk in while the score is 0-0 and it's still close. I have a feeling I won't get any more opportunities. I think the best I can hope for is winning the coin toss, which they just won as I'm listening to the game.

YEAH BABY!

[Obstructed_View]

Baylor gets momentum, Baylor misses extra point. It unravels from here.

Griffin 12, Tech 7

[Texas Chili Dog]

if Baylor wins this game, I will never EVER call Waco "Wacko" again.

[AFBlue]

Robert Griffin is the real deal

[Obstructed_View]

Robert Griffin is the real deal

What's great is that he's local so Baylor could get him, but he might attract some good recruits who want to play with him over the next few years. It's a little early for Bears fans to count on a turnaround of the program, but it's never too early to hope. :)

The guy who does PbP for the Baylor games is a friend of mine, and I always hope Baylor gets good just for him, because he's spent so many years trying to be positive through bad season after bad season.

[Obstructed_View]

Robert Griffin is the real deal

Ben Parks, however, is not. Missed extra point and now a missed field goal.

[Obstructed_View]

Baylor forces a fumble. First down inside the 20.

Baylor D did what?!?! :wow

[Obstructed_View]

:lol and yet :depressed

Baylor does this often enough it's not surprising. Baylor just false-started on their first play and will end up outside the 20. Again, not a surprise.

[Obstructed_View]

Baylor D did what?!?! :wow

They've sacked him three times I think in the first half. Nobody ever sacks that guy. 1st and goal at the 4 with 41 seconds to go in the half.

[Obstructed_View]

Baylor fumbles the ball out of the end zone. Tech ball at the 20.

[Obstructed_View]

Overturned on review. Baylor touchdown with one second left. They might be going for two.

[AFBlue]

Wow

Thanks for the breakdown by the way. I don't get it here in Georgia and don't want to pony up for ESPNU.

[Obstructed_View]

And Griffin fought off someone grabbing him by the facemask and threw a jump ball for the successful two point conversion. Score at the half: Baylor 21 - (7)Tech 14.

[Obstructed_View]

Wow

Thanks for the breakdown by the way. I don't get it here in Georgia and don't want to pony up for ESPNU.

I'm just listening to it on the radio. It's supposed to be on Vs. I don't know if their coverage is regional, but I don't get that channel with my current package.

If you actually care, the link for the audio broadcast is at the bottom of this page:

http://baylorbears.cstv.com/multimedia/affiliates.html

You might also be able to go to WBAP's website and listen to it online. Might be blacked out, but it's worth a shot if you have problems with the above link.

[Obstructed_View]

BTW, I just checked, and it is streaming on WBAP, and you don't have to log in to get the broadcast.

[bleedorange&blue]

Versus is offered on Time Warner, Channel 68. I've seen every second of the game so far.

After making that ridiculous scramble to the one & then the hail mary 2 pt conversion, THE FOOTBALL GODS ARE FAVORING BAYLOR RIGHT NOW!!!!!!

UT SEASON TICKET HOLDER PINNING MY HOPES ON BAYLOR FOOTBALL. Yes, i'm doing it!:toast:toast

[Obstructed_View]

So a Baylor victory renders 45-35 irrelevant?

[Obstructed_View]

Baylor gets the ball to start the third, marches it down and punches it in. Baylor 28, TTU 14.

[ShoogarBear]

LOL, OU ran up the score so much they crushed Tech's psyche. Karma boomerang.

[bleedorange&blue]

So a Baylor victory renders 45-35 irrelevant?

No. A BU win means that The SPOONERS & UT are tied with the tiebreaker going to UT for head to head. This would make tonight's game for BlowU & Ok st irrelevant.

[Horry For 3!]

If Baylor pulls off the upset, that will be great for Texas. That means they are assured the Big 12 South title and will go to the Big 12 Championship game.

[ShoogarBear]

Not just that but, assuming they beat Mizzou, it will guarantee them being in the BCS Championship game.

Baylor holds on to win this game, everyone in Austin needs to drive up to Waco and kiss the bear statue's ass.

[ShoogarBear]

Wow, tremendous block on the run by Griffin.

[Obstructed_View]

No. A BU win means that The SPOONERS & UT are tied with the tiebreaker going to UT for head to head. This would make tonight's game for BlowU & Ok st irrelevant.

What I meant was it renders the 45-35 campaign irrelevant. That thing was destined to backfire because the more the voters see Texas fans making their case on TV, the easier it is to vote against them because so many of them are such douchebags.

Big third down.

[ShoogarBear]

Eh, looks like Tech is waking up.

[samikeyp]

How did the rest of the Big XII miss out on Robert Griffin?

[Obstructed_View]

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

[Obstructed_View]

Baylor offsides, which negates a Bears interception.

[Obstructed_View]

And Tech ties it up.

The Mizzou/Kansas game was on the FSN family of networks earlier - so that was the game you'd seen everywhere... I don't get y'all not getting the Tech/Baylor game if you have VS though - it should be a national game just like the Oregon/Ore St game following this one.

[Obstructed_View]

Baylor needs a huge break of some sort.

It's sad that when the Bears need a break, the coach decides to go for it on 4th and 5 instead of playing for field position. They just don't give themselves opportunities to win.

Baylor leads the nation in moral victories and missed opportunities. Strange that coaching changes never seem to make a difference.

[Obstructed_View]

I should have known better than to publicly predict that Baylor would beat Tech and Tech would go 1-2 in their last three games. :)

[bleedorange&blue]

Damn, the Bears defensively were a completely differenet team n the 2nd half. D-Cordinator Norwrood completely changed it up. They stopped blitzing. They forced a fumble, int, got to Harrell 2x & now all of a sudden just drop back 7-8 every time. ESPECIALLY NOW THAT CRABTREE IS OUT! Yes Tech has depth, but come on, no one near the game of Crab.

I HAVE TO CHALK THIS ONE UP ON THE D-CORDINATOR! Why change from what's working!:bang:bang:bang

[BUMP]

now its time to root on the Cowboys:downspin:

you do realize that after the last two games tech has played, the UT game was an obvious fluke, right? tech had all year to prepare for the game while UT was playing a top 12 team every week, and the game was at lubbock with some key UT players injured. it had all the making for an upset, but in the end, UT is obviously the better team. i wouldnt be parading my team around after an ass raping by ou and a pitiful performance against da bears.

mizzou is obivously not a top team after their perfomrance then by your logic, so that doesnt help your argument. Tech beat OSU handily, while ut struggled at home to pull off a slight win. & yes i will parade my team around, b/c if ut doesnt get into any title game, it will be b/c of the loss to tech.
you can presume ut is the "better" team, but you have nothing to support that, other than your fan support.

injuries are a part of the game, get over it & stop fishing for excuses. crabrtee wasnt healthy either.

[Obstructed_View]

Just for the benefit of the "tech didn't have Crabtree" crowd, Tech was behind before he came out of the game, scored 21 straight to win the game in the second half without him, and only had 17 other wide receivers on the roster.

Well my apologies, but it was very easy to mistake it for you talking about tech beating UT, considering you likely get a boner every time you think about that, being the greatest moment in TT's football history and all.

[samikeyp]

flukes? :bang

The excuses of the stupid. How OU or Tech or Texas is playing only matters at the time. This crap about flukes or "well if they played now or played at home or on the road" is whiny bullshit. The only thing that counts is the final score. Texas got it done against OU but not against Tech, period. No win is more or less legit than the other. If Texas made one or two more plays, they could have won over Tech, if Tech makes one or two more, they could have blown Texas out whether the game was in Austin, Lubbock, San Antonio, Port Aransas or anywhere else.

[Blake]

Then shut the fuck up, tech fan.

and sit back while idiots like you and reckoning slobber all over themselves while talking aboutr how UT is still better than Tech, even though the scoreboard says differently? I don't think so.

idk but thats the real reason i hate the BCS. even though UT got screwed they will have a chance next year.

a team like Utah, who won all their games, will NEVER have a chance to win a title. maybe they are the best team in the country, but they will never be able to show it and that really isnt fair.

I've never gotten into this whole conference pride thing - especially when your school is surrounded by opponents that hate your team's guts - but this year is different. I hope every team the Big 12 sends out crushes their opposition.

[FromWayDowntown]

There isn't, as far as I know, anything that would prohibit the Fiesta Bowl from selecting Tech over UT. Given Coach Brown's insistence that head-to-head results should matter when breaking ties, I'd think that logic would actually support a decision to select Tech over UT in a decision made just between those two teams.

But, in the end, there's too much money to be made with UT in that game -- both from a television standpoint and from an attendance standpoint. That, along with the justified belief that UT is probably the better team will send Tech to a Cotton Bowl game that nobody will watch and ensure that the natural order remains the status quo.

Yes, there is. A team ranked in the top 4 of the BCS is guaranteed a BCS bowl. Texas will be in the top 4, Tech will not.

I have no love for Tech but the fact of the matter is they beat Texas and are 11-1. They deserve better recognition than sharing a Friday afternoon game date with the Liberty Bowl. The way the games are lined up this year, nobody is going to watch a 1 PM game on January 2nd.

The types that keep on downplaying the Tech game as a fluke.

Check the friggin box score. Tech delivered a beat down on the stat sheet and it was sheer fluke that UT was even in that game at all.

and based on Missouri's performances of late against Baylor and Kansas, that UT win over Mizz is looking less and less impressive by the minute.

Tech had an extremely similar run that UT did by playing #19 KU on the road, #1 UT and then #7 OSU before running into a buzzsaw on the road in Norman so please drop the condescending bull crap.

Basically whatever argument you try to make, I can easily make the same one. If you want to say "it's my opinion that UT is still the better team", then I've got no problem with that.

Just don't try to tell me that I must now recognize the Tech win was a fluke. It's typical arrogant UT fan garbage.

McCoy getting sacked 4 times + 1 safety on the running back is no fluke......just ask Colt's bloody lip.

37 to 23 minutes in time of possession is no fluke.

After all that, it took a guy dropping an interception that hit him in the hands and that funky touchdown to beat UT. Seems as flukey to me as the tipped touchdown pass that OU got. Again, it doesn't matter, as wins look exactly the same in the standings, regardless of the margin. Teams that find a way to win deserve as much credit as teams that cruise by a thousand points. UT can walk away with as much satisfaction about their performance against Tech as Baylor can, which is zero. UT's loss was quite a bit more costly.

right. It was a fluke that UT even got to be in that position to possibly seal the game.

Ask any UT fan what their reaction was when the horns left over a minute to go when they scored their last TD. They all knew Tech was going march down the field.
Nothing 'fluky' about that...
