Wahoo! A few minutes ago, Baylor AD Ian McCaw confirmed officially that the endzone tarp will be coming off for the Baylor vs. UT game, a sign that the game is either close to selling out or already has. That game will, of course, be the final contest in the storied history of Floyd Casey Stadium, and Baylor has made selling it out a priority.

A few other things you might want to know courtesy of ESPN 1660's Craig Smoak...
McCaw: Will be bringing Coach Teaff statue to new stadium. Have commissioned a statue for @RGIII. Placeholders for others in future. #SicEm

And more about the new stadium...
McCaw: Only going to have 3-4,000 more season tickets to sell for new stadium.

McCaw: Ribbon boards will run goal-line to goal-line on both sides of new stadium. If resources allow he hopes for full wraparound.

Finally... (I saved this for last because I thought people might like to hear it...)
McCaw: "I'm very confident that one day there's going to be an Art Briles statue among that heritage walkway." #SicEm
