I'm off to cover Mizzou/Texas Tech volleyball at Hearnes, so I'm going to have to bow out of postgame overreaction this evening. But feel free to use this thread for all your post-Baylor scare needs.
As The Boy said it best in the Live Thread, "Exhale."

Props
but I’d imagine you’ll see this headline in a paper or two tomorrow.

lol...
…I was just trying to come up with a Yogi Bear reference, but I couldn’t figure it out. Well played.

GREAT point by Pinkel on the postgame interview...
…Jon Gissinger was hurt, so they had a new guy in at his spot on the FG. Baylor saw a different guy and thought “FAKE! FAKE!” and blew their last timeout. Nice.

and that's why we faked it against Nebraska
it made people think about it.
Yes, my keyboard survived the game. I had to leave the basement, I was about to break some shit.
I wore a groove in the carpet in my bedroom
went up there and turned on the radio (we have guests coming over tonight and I figured I would have plenty of time to get ready since this game was supposed to be a laugher by the 3rd quarter). So I went upstairs to start getting ready and just couldn’t stop pacing. And I punched the dryer when I heard “Intercepted!” and actually missed Kelly say “almost”.
I’m off the ledge now. I’m way too manic to follow this team.
Luckily, we only see Griffin once more
next year at Faurot
4th OT in the ND game
ND misses a field goal in the top of the 4th – Pitt gets the ball with a chance to win it.
God I hate Notre Dame (despite Rudy)
Yup...
…if you’d told me there was a 4-OT game with no OT touchdowns, I’d have said “Notre Dame was playing in it, weren’t they?”

so
should we/will we jump georgia in the polls? (remember when it seemed like that would be an important question?)
yes
because they only two games UGA played against a good team they got absolutely destroyed.

Meanwhile...
…UT is looking like total ass 10 minutes into the Tech-UT game. Dropping passes left and right, missing blocks…they’re lucky to only be down 5-0.
Rock M Nation
Thrust nunchuk upward!
12-0 Tech...
…really feels like it should be about 28-0 right now. Texas is doing NOTHING right, and Tech is just pecking and poking down the field at ease.

35-0 OU! End of 1st!
Good GOD is the South 1000x better than the North…
Rock M Nation
Thrust nunchuk upward!
The South is better...
but man, what a difference a year makes.
Florida has improved by leaps & bounds.
Oklahoma State has improved dramatically since last year.
Texas, Texas Tech have caught up, or proved to be better than Oklahoma in the South.
Missouri, while seemingly still top dog in the North, has taken a step back (or the South took that much of a step forward – we beat Tech at home pretty handedly last year).
I kept thinking all season that I wanted Tech to win the south
because Pinkel has owned them (Harrell, especially).
I’m not completely sure about that anymore. Of course, I am not at all confident about beating UT or Okie, either.
I juggle one handed, do some magic tricks and do the best imitation of myself.

My choice is by FAR still Tech...
…at the very least, we don’t have any sort of mental obstacles against them.
Rock M Nation

Ok, Tech up 19-0, clearly this game is FAR from over
but, is Graham Harrell the Heisman leader if UT continues to look this bad and gets rolled by Tech?

Ben Folds Five
Dunno...
…am thinking Tim Tebow is suddenly making his way up the charts again, sadly…
Rock M Nation
Thrust nunchuk upward!
Damn you Matt Williams. Making people forget that Jeff Wolfert
is a walk-on, also.
Ok, so a lot of kickers are walk-ons, and Wolfert is MUCH better than Williams, but Williams’ story is probably cooler.

I kinda want Tech to win...
…but I’m almost getting a little pissed about how bad Texas is playing right now. Dropping pass after pass, stupid penalty after stupid penalty…this is ridiculous…
Rock M Nation
Thrust nunchuk upward!
So, um...
…hi, guys.
I’ve got pictures, stories and rants. Give me about an hour.
In the meantime, feel free to tell me how awesome I am for calling the Baylor trap. Go ahead. I will accept dap in bucketfulls only, please.

Wow, Tech's D is smothering Colt
ridiculous.
What?! Since when can you be laying in the end zone and down the ball on the 1?!

I was thinking the same thing, though it was a heads up play

Shipley with a short punt return TD...
…and it’s 22-13. Game on.
Rock M Nation
Thrust nunchuk upward!
Is that the first or second TD?
They were both reviewed…

Second
The first was in a different corner, I think.

Macolm Williams with a 91-yard TD...
…just a GORGEOUS bomb from McCoy, and we’ve got ourselves a 29-26 game.

Obviously, this scenario would depend on Tech holding on to this game and OU beating Tech.
But, simply by virtue of OU having the earliest loss (or, more accurately, Tech having the latest lost), they would almost certainly be the South’s representative in a 3-way tie.

And Texas takes the lead...
…this has been a pretty damn cold-blooded comeback. 33-32 Texas.

holy shit.
That was amazing.
And the students have now stormed the field TWICE with 0:01 left. This is hilarious.

Ha!
Two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties…Tech kicking off from the 7.5 yard line.

How much would that suck
to end up losing this game because your crowd cost you 15 yards on a kickoff with 1 second left?

Another Unsportsmanlike?
what was that one for?

Yup, if you call a fair catch
you can take opt for an untimed down, right? Something like that…..

Ben Folds Five
THat was stupid
they should have taken the fair catch and tried the unblocked kick.
That was what the rule was, not an untimed down, it’s an unchallenged place kick.

Sorry, misunderstood the rule
Fair Catch Kicks are only illegal in the NCAA. You can do it in NFL and High School

Lubbock will be destroyed in the morning.
The good thing is that no one will be able to tell the difference.
It's official:
My BTBS numbers are smarter than I am. They had Tech winning, I had Texas winning.

rankings?
(A) 1. Alabama; 2. Penn State; 3. Tech OR
(B) 1. Alabama; 2. Tech; 3. Penn State OR
© 1. Tech; 2. Alabama; 3. Penn State
I’m guessing it’ll be option A, though I think B is more fair
