I am happy. <\/p>\n
This weekend kicks off the college football season. Although I always pull for Baylor, let’s be honest – we’re not exactly a football powerhouse. Since joining the Big 12, I think we’ve averaged 1 conference win per season. I remember one game while I was a student when we played Nebraska, then one of the best in the nation. The line against us was about 40. Nebraska still beat the line. <\/p>\n
Last season we got (another) new coach and an exciting new quarterback named Robert Griffin III, a Vince Young-style scrambler who runs the 40 in 4.4. Our 4-8 record actually people excited about Baylor football again. This weekend our first game brought us to Winston-Salem, NC, to play the Wake Forest Demon Deacons (isn’t that the best mascot ever???), a respectable team who SMOKED us last year. But this year we emerged with a 24-21 victory, our first road victory since September 2007. No, we’re not buying any Rose Bowl tickets quite yet, but we have a winning record, and some people are even talking about a possible bowl game for us. Sic ’em, Bears!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
