IMPROVEMENT IS ALL RELATIVE: BAYLOR

PrintAggieReport is right in that Baylor still inspires visions of fierce cuddling as a threat rather than mauling, but consider what "improvement" means, really. It is a relative term, much like "attractive," or "uncomfortable," or "awesome." Awesome for you might mean a nice weekend at a spa with the lady friend or wife, followed up by a round of golf; for some of us, it might mean a weekend spent running through the mire bowhunting; for others, it might be a gallon of PCP, a bottle of rum, and a rental car taken out on a dead man's credit card. (By others, we mean us.)
Baylor has the same record it had at this point last year: 3-7 going into its final two games. Not clear improvement by any stretch of the imagination, but take a look at the margin of loss in those seven. Under GuyMo, Baylor lost its first seven games last year by a margin of 29.9 points. This year, under Art Briles, that has fallen to 18.6 points in their losses.
So, to recap: Baylor 2007, this, a mess rolling downhill without forethought, planning, or hope of landing. Baylor 2008, this: interestingly designed, full of flair, and closer to success than one might initially think possible.

I’ve been tracking Baylor all year. I’m immensely proud of them for losing 45-21 these days instead of 45-0. Now at least their starters are better than the 2nd and 3rd string of their opponents.

It’s videos like this that serve to Prove that college football is the nerdiest of all sports. Quite possibly nerdier than Harry Potter.

anyone who even trys to imagine a gallon of PCP has obviously never done any… think of a gallon of pure LSD… yes, that’s right, enough to make everyone east of the Mississippi kiss the sky
since this is a slow week post, let me just say… Larrysweightloss*dot*com is just about enough to make me stay away from this site until next spring
thank you
