Once it became clear how today's game was going to go, I started my usual practice of collecting the best Twitter had to offer. It was a lengthy process considering how good Baylor looked and how much fun people have watching our games.
Of all the tweets, this was my personal favorite:

That's SB Nation's esteemed Editorial Director, Spencer Hall.
Now on to the rest, starting, as always, at the beginning:

Look good, play good, right?
Damn it's too early to watch Baylor this isn't good for my heart
— YEAH CLICK CLACK (@edsbs) October 17, 2015
OH, WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED, SPENCER.
I love how Baylor gives students the best seats in the house. It's like a basketball arena atmosphere.
— Lost Lettermen (@LostLettermen) October 17, 2015
As I noted, this was actually quite a contentious idea at the time it first came up. Big-money boosters wondered why they weren't getting those seats, Big 12 foes objected to having our fans arrayed behind them, and it wasn't a sure thing. I'm glad it worked out, though.
Corey Coleman ties Kendall Wright's Baylor record with 14th receiving TD of season. He also has 98 yards... in the first seven minutes.

RB #32 really sold the fake here - QB was reading the weakside LB https://t.co/vU8oUumSdi
— Chris B. Brown (@smartfootball) October 17, 2015
See, another reason to love Shock Linwood. He doesn't have to jump up in there and take on the LB, but he did. Because Shock is all about the team.
Weekly check in on how hard Baylor's backups are moshing before the second half kickoff: WVU will lose big, is how hard
— Earl (@JasonKirkSBN) October 17, 2015
This may actually be a good way to tell. They're the canaries in our Baylor hype-driven coal mine.
Here’s where I’m at on Baylor: I still don’t think their defense is very good, and now I’m starting to think it doesn’t matter.
— Greg Tepper (@Tepper) October 17, 2015
That's deep, Tepper.
Playing Baylor is so demoralizing. "We scored! Now all we've gotta do is...*sigh*...make a stop...oh look, they just crossed midfield..."

Corey Coleman juked this dude so hard, he wouldn’t have even been down in touch football: http://t.co/ir7c95cvHn
— SB Nation (@SBNation) October 17, 2015
Seth doesn’t really run—he just sort of glides along, around, and past everyone else, riding an airport terminal conveyor only he can see.
— Gregg Fox (@0utfoxed) October 17, 2015
This is a really good way of putting it. Poetry in motion.
Dear Seth Russell, You throw a very, very pretty ball. Sincerely, Earth
— The Solid Verbal (@SolidVerbal) October 17, 2015
This tweet followed the first TD to Jay Lee, which, it should be noted, was an absolutely gorgeous pass.
I watch Baylor's Corey Coleman abuse defenders, and I see a little Steve Smith, a little Randall Cobb and a little Antonio Brown all in one.
— Chris Low (@ClowESPN) October 17, 2015
Sounds like a really good receiver.
Well, West Virginia, you tried.
— Ralph D. Russo (@ralphDrussoAP) October 17, 2015
Indeed, they did!

You don't have to go home, but you have to get the heck out of here!
BEAU BLACKSHEAR WILL HOLD YOUR RUNNINGBACK IN AN ETERNAL SPACE PRISON
— mattisBOOmin' (@mattisbear) October 17, 2015
I ... honestly don't know exactly what this means.
Baylor's last TD was fake a fake bubble screen and QB read nickel LB to give or throw. Nickel jumped bubble screen and WR wide open
— Chris B. Brown (@smartfootball) October 17, 2015
This, either.
Art Briles laid hands on Billings in the locker room and *POOF* he's back out there
— Amy Pagitt (@APBaylor247) October 17, 2015
I didn't include any of the previous tweets about Andrew Billings' injury and subsequent miraculous return because they were depressing. This was not depressing. Heretical/blasphemous? Possibly. But not depressing.
Between Seth Russell and LaQuan McGowan, Baylor really might pull the Heisman/@piesmantrophy double dip.
— Rodger Sherman (@rodger_sherman) October 17, 2015
La'Raven Clark may have a bit to say about that, but if LaQuan can get another somewhere along the line, he'll be in the thick of it. The really thick of it.
— Baylor Football (@BUFootball) October 17, 2015
Yes.
Andrew Billings has apparently returned to the game for Baylor, because he's actually a machine that feels no pain.
— OurDailyBears (@OurDailyBears) October 17, 2015
Just stole an ankle from a redshirt and threw it on there, I'm sure.
— OurDailyBears (@OurDailyBears) October 17, 2015
I cannot confirm or deny Andrew Billings went into locker room on crutches, came out with both crutches as toothpicks and said, "Hell No."
— David Smoak (@DavidSmoak) October 17, 2015
Sounds like something he'd do.
Corey Coleman is a freak https://t.co/ZL3tV62v7b
— Chris B. Brown (@smartfootball) October 17, 2015
Corey Coleman juked those dudes' souls into the same dimension where General Zod was trapped by Superman. Sorry, guys.
#Baylor has adequately proven against a quality D that it will still lay the hammer down. Check that box. Next.
— Keith Fletcher (@FSFletch) October 17, 2015
Hopefully, it will continue to be viewed that way going forward.
Look at these humans falling at Corey Coleman's feet like teardrops http://t.co/MVJ3bGprBJ pic.twitter.com/vVqLZjORJe
— Earl (@JasonKirkSBN) October 17, 2015
I briefly tried to rewrite the "Tears in Rain" monologue from Blade Runner to fit Corey Coleman's impact on opposing secondaries, but I lost it. I never really had it. Kinda like the corners that tried to cover Coleman, actually.
Seth Russell ends his day with 535 total yards and 6 TD. 375 yards passing - 5 TD, 160 yards rushing - 1 TD. #BaylorOffense
— Craig Smoak (@CraigSmoak) October 17, 2015
Seems good.
Today Baylor joined 2008 Oklahoma as the only offenses of the modern era to score 50 points in 6 straight games. TCU can join them tonight.
— Jake Trotter (@Jake_Trotter) October 17, 2015
4 points away against SMU, too. And Iowa State coming to Waco in a week ...
Baylor letting the clock run out at the 2 says more than scoring a meaningless TD could have.
— OurDailyBears (@OurDailyBears) October 17, 2015
A certain someone to the north of here would have tried to score there. Briles didn't need to.
Baylor now has ***multiple*** @piesmantrophy contenders #AmericasLargestOffense http://t.co/NLcSKL4UcD pic.twitter.com/zHqgPaNJLF

T-C-V.
Holgorsen calls Corey Coleman "the best player in college football. You can put me on record with that."
— Allan Taylor (@AllanTaylorWVU) October 17, 2015
Consider it done, Holgo!
Baylor is 6-0. I remember Tevin Reese dancing off the field 2 years ago after clinching bowl eligibility. A little different these days.
— Max Olson (@max_olson) October 17, 2015
I remember that, too. Although I think that was a little more than 2 years ago.
Finishing off with ...
Seth Russell ran for a career-high 160 yards and a TD in addition to 380 yards and 5 TDs through the air. #SicWVU http://t.co/2gc1uk7gxC
