As we ramp up to the Baylor Game I thought we could circle back on the event of this summer and remind people how important this game against the morally irreproachable Baylor Bears and their fearless [strike]purveyor of stained dresses[/strike] leader Ken Starr is.

Desperation:
Wrote [Baylor regent and prominent lobbyist Buddy] Jones: “We cannot let the other schools in Texas (A&M, U.T., Tech) leave the Big XII WITHOUT BAYLOR BEING INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE. Long and short – if U.T., A&M and Tech demand that any move to any other conference include ALL TEXAS BASED TEAMS from the Big XII, we are golden. We need to be in a PACKAGE DEAL!”
Fabrication:
Jones argues that Baylor is better than Colorado as a potential Pac-10 team because, “Baylor is superior to Colorado academically.
“We’re on the same academic tier as Colorado,” Averitt said. “Both of our schools are at the top of the spectrum. That can’t be an issue.
Our football, basketball (women’s and men’s), baseball, softball, track, tennis, golf programs are vastly superior to Colorado’s.
Cheap Pot Shots:
Jones also points to Nebraska as being a key to the conference realignment. He opines that: “It’s hard enough get the home teams to stick tight. But harder still to influence a bunch of corn shuckers.”
All in all quite a soap opera and really embarrassing for Baylor, they wind up looking like the desperate fat girl trying to get a date for prom. All the more reason we need to beat these clowns....we'll ignore (for a day) how far we've fallen that beating Baylor is even a concern.
