Texas A&M Game
This is a BIG game for us... more so than usual. We're playing for a bowl game and 2nd place in the South. I see that we are 5 point underdogs... not bad considering the Aggies are #22 in the AP. By the way... has anyone else noticed that every other team in the Big 12 with less than 2 losses are ranked!?! We are the only team with 1 loss that is NOT ranked. Bastards. Even Tech is getting votes... they have two losses already. Just making an observation. I guess we will start getting the votes when we win out the rest of the season. :)
Well, this already personal game has become even more personal to me. I have a friend at church that grew up in Texas and, unfortunately, is an Aggie. We have a good camaraderie and a true friendship. I'm not sure why... he's even a Cardinals fan (yuck). Although, it's nice to have someone to talk Big 12 football with, being up here in Big 10 (11) country. I think his wife appreciates having me around so she doesn't have to listen to all of it. Anyway, we play on the church softball team together. We made a side bet that the loser has to wear the other team's hat for our first softball game... next year. A bragging rights bet that carries over all the way to next year. It's straight up, no points... so whoever wins the game is the victor. I am confident... I suggested the wager. So... we are not only playing for bragging rights... I've got a lot of my pride riding on this. I can not be humiliated by wearing a piece of that A&M trash on my head. Please God let us win! I just wanted to get pictures of Steve wearing my Baylor hat. :)
So, be sure to give it that extra cheer for the Bears this Saturday!
Sic 'em Bears!

Ouch! That hurt in more ways than one... first, we lost to the Aggies... second, Shawn Bell out for the season... third, I have to wear that crappy hat next Spring. Ughh!
Unfortunately, I hate to have our hopes lying with a red-shirt freshman who has taken all but 8 career snaps under center.
I knew our Offense and our bowl hopes lied with Shawn Bell. This was a concern (getting injured), but I thought we were going to do it. With Bell, I believe we would make a bowl game. Now, we may be lucky to win one more game at all. As a Cubs fan, you guys know I am an optimist... it's hard to find many positives here. Then again, the team has proven doubters wrong on more than one occasion this season.
Let's hope they can prove me wrong this week.
Beat Tech!!
