Asleep At The Wheel

I know it's been a while since I last posted. Our Bears fell to Penn State last Thursday. We just didn't play our best game and that's all you can really say about it. Yes, the officiating was questionable in parts, but I don't think anyone can say that if we played the same with different referees, we'd win.

In the meantime, the blog is probably going to slow down a bit. I don't think I'm going to get to see a baseball game this season because my weekends are filling up fast. I'll still follow them and post occasionally but the days of seeing a post per day out of me will not be back until football reports in August. I'll be showing up about once a week to ponder a Baylor related topic or something completely random to keep you guessing.

If you want a topic discussed or a question answered, feel free to leave it in the comment section and I'll attend to it quickly.

Until then, have a good time kids.

Big Time!

It's hard to even explain how the guys are playing these days. One of my life motto's is: "Better late than never." That's about how I feel about this team. We've now won 7 of our last 8 including wins over Big East, ACC, SEC, and now a good Mountain West team.

Obviously Jerrells and Dunn had big games. That was as good as I've ever seen CJ play when you look at scoring, assists, rebounding, and defense. Dunn came out hot but I think he still tries to dribble through too much traffic at times.

Kevin Rodgers has played like a different person the past 3 weeks. I can't explain it. He went from being VERY soft to taking it strong to the rim when he gets an opportunity. It makes all the difference in the world for his game as well as opens up stuff for the guards.

The only concerning thing about last night's game was our bench. 0 points, 0 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 turnover. Ouch. Our bench guys played a total of 36 minutes and that was their production. This has to change to win on Thursday.

I've never seen Penn State play this season so again, no scouting report or keys to the game although one of my buddies insists that Dou's minutes is a direct correlation to our chances of winning. Being a Big 10 (11) team makes me think they are going to play super ugly and try to get us to come down to them. We'll see I guess. The reality is that if we're making our shots, we're not going to lose (how 'bout that analysis). I just think we're a team of destiny now. Maybe not the destiny we hoped for two months ago, but we'll take it now.
