Tech-Baylor 4th Quarter Open Thread (aka OMG!!!1! Go Bears!!!11!!1)

Pigeons_tiny by billyzane on in Football Comment 393 comments

Bama is predictably destroying a terrible Auburn team, and Florida is likewise beating up on the Seminoles.  But alas, there is hope!  Your adopted fightin' Baylor Bear football team is leading Texas Tech 28-21 heading into the 4th Quarter.  If the Bears win, whatever happens in Stillwater tonight means absolutely nothing to Texas, as the Horns will be headed to Kansas City regardless.  And a win in Kansas City unequivocally sends Texas to Miami.  So the moral of the story is: SIC 'EM BEARS!!!

well

this hurts them with any voters that are watching (on VS., not likely). maybe if OSU wins tonight, this helps keep us in front of Tech. getting blown out by OU, then struggling at home against Baylor. not a great way to finish off the season.

also, the showing today makes it seem possible that they could actually lose to Mizzou. time to root for the Cowboys.

i do think that conference championships are under-rated (both in Football and Basketball), but obviously a chance to play in the National Championship game FAR outweighs the chance to play in the Big XII Championship game.

extending that argument to Texas' loss to Tech is fine

the argument makes Texas’ loss against Tech look worse.
