Bobby Bouchet

5. Convince ghtd36 why Mizzou fans shouldn’t be worried about this game. If your name is ghtd36, reiterate your stance.
Because I am not so sure ght has been around long enough to truly know the pain from previous Mizzou upsets…we will just win…it’s just that simple.

1. What will be the final score of the Mizzou/Baylor game in Waco?
Mizzou 41, Baylor 21.

2. What record will Baylor finish with in 2008 and what bowl (if necessary) will they be invited to?
Wins against Northwestern State, Washington State (yup), and Iowa State give Art Briles a shining 3-9 record in his inaugural year.

Mizzou gets 560 yards, Baylor gets 300, so, 260.

4. Which Baylor quarterback starts against Mizzou?
It’ll be Freeman, for the sake of change from last year.

5. Convince ghtd36 why Mizzou fans shouldn’t be worried about this game. If your name is ghtd36, reiterate your stance.
Once again, I’m not saying Baylor’s going to beat Mizzou. Obviously, I just said that Mizzou would win by 20.
But the bottom line is that this has a lot of factors that go into a trap game:
1) An excellent coach, with an emphasis on motivation.
2) A place where such traps have occurred in the past.
3) A game that means a lot (homecoming, in this instance).
4) A possible “take the week off” mentality” (Texas two weeks before, Colorado for homecoming the week before).
5) A playmaker on defense (Jordan Lake).
6) Sound special teams vs. historically (and realistically) shaky special teams.
Again, the point is that there are ingredients in place to warrant a little more attention than you would pay to SEMO. Not saying it will amount to anything, but this does have trap potential.
And as for The Veal, I’ve been around long enough to know what an upset is, what the characteristics of a trap game are, and how this team tends to act when it has a target on its back.

Don’t leave Sleezy and I hanging in Wacko by ourselves.
