Greatest Active Rivalry in Texas This Weekend!

[SicEmBaylor]

Yes...it's that time of the year for the greatest active rivalry game in the state of Texas. Two teams that represent the absolute best in the state of Texas will square off for the 110th time....a rivalry that started in 1899. Yes, it's time for Baylor vs TCU! The first time both teams have been ranked in the Top 10 nationally. It'll be one for the ages with absolutely EVERYTHING riding on the outcome.

Sic 'Em Bears!

It's a weird world. Sometimes I wake up thinking I've been transported into some weird parallel universe. From Kevin Steele to this? The Football Gods took some pity on us.

And those Gods are fickle and do easily anger. Be careful out there.

I want the Bears to win, and keep winning...until they get to Norman. Then I want to see them bleed! Poor Sic won't be able to go out in public for weeks after that beatdown.

I'm wondering if this also appears on the Baylor site if one exists.

[olevetonahill]

What appears? Yes there is a Baylor board. Ive been there 1nc or twice.

[BigTip]

We of course need Baylor to win today.

Well now, that was somewhat prophetic...

[cherokeebrewer]

The Football Gods are still on Baylor's side. What a wild game...

I thought those Gods were in smite mode and were poise to take out the Bears and finish us off in one fell swoop. Then they got all soft and new testament-y at the end. All was forgiven.

SicEm went tru 3 cases of Depends during that game.

[bmjlr]

I'm wondering how the he** OU can possibly keep up with Baylor in scoring...heck, Ksu scares me.

Who makes Depends? I wanna buy their stock first thing Monday…

[SicEmBaylor]

I was hunkered down in the corner of the room in the fetal position with a Zima for most of that game.

[SicEmBaylor]

I'm pretty sure I died of a stroke a few hours ago and this is my ghost talking.

[8timechamps]

That was a hell of a game to watch. I wanted Baylor to win, but it didn't look good for a large portion of the game.

I'm sure it wasn't "fun" from a BU or TCU fan's perspective...but from my perspective, that's one of the best games I've seen this year.

EDIT: I tip my Zima to you Sic

In 2011 when we beat TCU on a FG, Briles never watched to see whether it was good or not. He gave Patterson this cold 'death stare' locking eyes with him the entire time. He kind of became famous for it from within Baylor circles for how cold blooded that made Briles seem.

Tonight with the last second FG to win the game? This was Briles again:

That dude does NOT like Patterson; he also has ice water running through his veins.

Cool Story, Bro....

Congrats, SicEm... that was an incredible game!

[okiewaker]

I need to get those 2 teams recipe for scoring.

[tooslow]

The BU players don't like Patterson either. After the game, the DC had to pull a player away from Patterson, who said the player was threatening him. DC said the player was just doing the usual mouthing off. lol

Patterson is a bleeding vagina.

He looks more like boob sweat.

Love it, thanks! Briles is the man. I wonder, who is atop the Soonerfans list of most hated coaches right now? Patterson?

Fun game. When TCU went up by 21 late I quit watching for a while...flipped back later and BU was kicking extra point for the tie! Great finish.

[SicEmBaylor]

In defense of our defense:

I re-watched the game last night, and I'm actually fairly pleased with how well our defense did despite the final score.

A big chunk of their score was of no to little fault of the defense. For example:
1 TD was from a KO return.
1 TD was from a 'pick 6' by Petty.
1 TD was the result of a very short field because we went for it on a 4th down and didn't convert.
3 FGs

Those three TDs that weren't the fault (or of little fault) of the defense would have brought the score down to 37. The defense also limited them to 3 FGs for another 9 points.

We also stopped them inside our 10 for what amounted to at least 5-6 downs because of a penalty that gave them a 1st and brought them half the distance to the goal (2nd yard line). They ended up getting a FG out of it, but our defense held inside the 10 for basically 5-6 downs (forget what it was).

Point being -- despite the numbers, our defense did pretty damned well especially later in the game. We got burned on the 'big plays' but otherwise kept their offense in check.

.

I would think Kliffie. Not in the sense that he's a 'rival' but in the sense that one grows to hate a tedious annoyance that doesn't go away.

[Pride1Mom]

I remember when people thought Baylor wasn't good enough for the Big XII.
