Hey, everyone! Long time no see! Twitter has been alive this morning with news and quotes about Baylor Football, which plays its first game of the season in just ten days against Louisiana Tech. This thread is intended to move some of that discussion back here so everyone can see it and participate in an environment more conducive to discussion.
Also, in case you missed the final announcements yesterday, the single digits for this season are set:
0 — WR RJ Sneed
1 — RB Trestan Ebner
2 — LB Terrell Bernard
3 — DB Raleigh Texada
4 — S Christian Morgan
5 — QB Charlie Brewer
6 — WR Gavin Holmes
7 — RB John Lovett
8 — STAR Jalen Pitre
9 — WR Tyquan Thornton
Finally, a few tweets:
.@BUFootball QB Charlie Brewer reiterated what Larry Fedora has helped getting ball out earlier and his presence in the pocket. He also said working w/@teamAPEC and @bobbystroupe during summer and helped with his arm strength, precision and his shoulder feels, "very strong."

Brewer broke the Texas (national?) record for completion percentage in high school. He's maintained a really good % in college in an offense largely based on deep shots. Baylor's 2020 offense will have relatively more short to medium passes. Expect a big bump in comp % this year. https://t.co/oARhEpQ5Zi

Brewer on Aranda: I definitely think he's a player's coach. He really wants to hear our voices and take that into account. He does a fantastic job of running the show ... He's a tremendous leader and I think we've got a really good coach in him. #Baylor

Bernard says Dave Aranda is one of the best people he's ever met in his life and wants to emulate him.

Finally, finally, today is the anniversary of this amazing performance:
9/2/2011 - Baylor 50 TCU 48. The game that kickstarted @RGIII’s Heisman campaign. One of the best games I’ve ever seen in person. And capped off by this Mike Hicks INT in the closing seconds to ice it. Made even better by the sheer gluttony of surrender cobras. pic.twitter.com/r5P7sm0Bm3
