    I've asked you this before, Jeff: what does Baylor beating an in-state team five years ago with completely different players have to do with tonight's game? How is that "trend" at all noteworthy?

    I agree Coin...I hate the talk of past trends in college for the most part...He just blasts you with useless number as he is forced to talk about something....he cant just sit up there and say how he feels....

    Why I loved the Covers Podcast with teddy and the professor....someone who tells it straight up

    That particular statistic - Baylor winning X amount of games in a row over in-state opponents is really a reflection of how far this program has come in recent years

    I will say this - when waking up at 2:45 a.m. in Las Vegas to do these videos - some "useless" stats in the opinion of others slips into the production

    MLB season = can't wait

    All that you need to know about this matchup is that it brings two coaching derelicts together in Barnes and Drew, which makes it unpredictable and unbettable.

    Look and remember what TX & Baylor just did at Ok St everyone, Baylor pushed to OT, TX lost by 13(No Kobongo). So how many points is he worth? This Texas team has some momentum coming into tonight's game. Baylor is good, but shouldn't be laying any road points here. Kobango can change the whole diversity of this game and will!! Last time these two met up he wasn't healthy, they lost by 7 at Baylor. Add the rivalry which has always been present and Kobango, can't fade TX at home getting the points. Just my 2 cents. Probably a no play for me.
