Going to the game. Its the last time Texas will be playing at the Erwin Center They are knocking down the staduim after being up for 43 years, The game is sold out and the Home crowd will give the Longhorns a home court advantage Beard has done a great job getting support from the student body and many are showing up to see the last game at Erwin before it gets demolished. But I like Baylor -1 ***

Baylor beat them in Waco 80-53 and think Baylor has a better offense and although Texas D might be a little better not enough to stop the Bears. Bears are without Tchatchouaa huge loss that will effect them later at the Big Dance but not tonight. Baylor will play Sochan who is 6'9 at the point tonight. Then you have 2 wings Mayer and Flager who are either gds or fds. They already have the 2nd or 3rd best Gd in the B-12 in Akinjo and Thamba the 6'10 fd Then you have Brown off the bench .. this team has so much depth . Texas did win at WV the other day and Finally Ferbes hit his open shot. But the MO on Texas is " let them shoot those 3's because they are so inconsistent from the 3 pt line. Allen had a big game inside vs WV but lets not forget Mitchell their 6'9 kid probably will not play again due to personal problems, He is theeir top inside scorer and more importantly their inside passer. But Texas also has depth inside so he hasn't been missed to much yet.

Think Baylor has more talent and has played in tough environments and although Erwin will be rocking tonight think Bears can handle that .. I am an invite to the Baylor VIP room tonight with dinner etc. Last time 2 years ago I wore my Mean green North Texas shirt to this VIP room Everybody was wearing green so they thought I was a Baylor guest. I had some boxes **'s on Texas that night but no one knew. Think Bears handle the Longhorns tonite with to much Akinjo attacking the basket

Baylor -1 ***

Dog lover what a game . Good seeing you but since you had no seats available in your lower section I had to sit in my season 65 section. The best news was I sat next to this lady who asked me " is this your seat " because no one has ever sat in it all year" I told her yes its my season seat but I have friends who have better seats and they let me sit next to them. This was the 1st sold out game so therefore I had to take the escalator ,the steps and the helicopter to get up here. She was great ,a teacher from Elgin and her husband . Then she elbows me during the game and tells me that is not her husband but a date . wow .. I wanted to ask her next year where is your season ticket going to be? She knew her Texas players and about basketball ..
The game was great 54-54 with 5 minutes left But then Baylor went on a run and they won 68-61. Texas missed about 4 or 5 open uncontested 3's and that killed them. Ajinko is amazing and Flager I don't think ever missed a shot. Texas defense was outstanding until 5 minutes left. Baylor is really good considering Cryer is out and there big guy is out. What a great crowd and noise. Erwin Center was rock'in tonight but those Bears weren't disturbed ..
Good seeing you ,, you and your wife have a good year and I will hook up with your friends in Vegas in a few weeks .
Just to let all the people know here in MJ's that Mr and Mrs Dog lover were wearing their orange matching Longhorn shirts and orange burnt pom poms and burnt orange matching socks. lol
