The Bears? Really?

So the story that I'm blogging about this week is an old one... but that is what makes it so great. The Bears game facing the Longhorns was discussed in a section of the New York Times weekly collegiate football picks, where the Times unanimously supported Texas for the win against Baylor.

The author flat out said that "A loss to the Bears, no matter how talented they are, would be a low point for Texas under Mack Brown."

Well, looks like ole Mack has hit rock bottom. Almost a week after the Bears took the win from the Horns, making them 7-2 this season, the team is ranked 22nd in the nation.

Although I am generally not a competitive person, the outright dismissal of Baylor football was a bit hard to deal with, and I cannot deny the joy that swelled when we finally won the game. Perhaps this win will convince other doubters that the Bears are hungry for wins and a real force to be reckoned with.
