Sports: Baylor's AMAZING Victory!

Ok, forgive me if you are thinking, "Hey... you just wrote about Baylor." However, for those that don't really know (or care!), an amazing event happened last night: Baylor beat Texas A&M. Baylor, ranked # 25 in the AP, beat Texas A&M, ranked # 18, 116-110. Now... just to add a little more to this... Baylor not only beat the Aggies in College Station. They beat them in 5 (FIVE) Overtimes!

To put that into perspective... the game, which normally lasts a maximum of 2 hours, went over 3.5 hours. Baylor had 5 players foul out of the game. And while there are 3 referees, the game ended with only 2. One of the refs had to leave due to cramping.

This was the longest game in Baylor, A&M, and Big 12 history. The most overtimes in a game was 7, and that was in 1981! And you know what? The BU/Aggie game wasn't on TV. I watched it last night over the internet. It was amazing. It was like watching a Rocky movie... 2 sluggers going after it. Don't just take my opinion. Check this out: Andy Katz, a writer for ESPN, has a lot to say about it. Not only that, but click the video on the right to see how crazy it was:

For those that are Baylor fans, you'll love this article from Katz:

If I was only a student right now... can you imagine the craziness? I've seen YouTube videos (just enter Baylor Bears basketball) and you can see how crazy the fans have been. Would I actually burn my couch in the middle of the street? There's video that some did just that.

Now, if you want to see ESPN's interview with our coach, Scott Drew, check this out. It's awesome:

However, the best thing I can show you is this: The players arriving back on campus after their bus ride back from College Station.

These are exciting times for the Baylor Bears. They really could make a movie about this program...
