Baylor takes on the Syracuse Orange (seriously) tonight at 9:00 PM central, and as always, the GDT for that one will go up 30 minutes prior to the game with information about the matchup. Syracuse has an excellent SB Nation blog that you should check out until this: Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician.
No. 18 MBB Takes On No. 8 Syracuse In Maui Finals - Baylor Bears Official Athletic Site - BaylorBears.com
The 18th-ranked Baylor basketball team takes on eighth-ranked Syracuse in Wednesday's championship game at the EA Sports Maui Invitational. The game will tip off at 9 p.m. CT on ESPN.
As far as everything else, there's a bit of news out there about Baylor this morning, but not much. I think most people, like me, have already taken a mental holiday and don't really want to get into this whole "work" thing.
One thing I did want to talk about is the Heisman race, which heated up a little bit last night by virtue of another scintillating performance by NIU's Jordan Lynch. As nearly as I can tell, not including our own Bryce Petty, there are 7 or 8 real contenders for the Trophy at this stage in the game. I'll rank them by my guess as of now at their order of finish:
1. Jameis Winston
2. A.J. McCarron
3. Andre Williams
4. Jordan Lynch
5. Johnny Manziel
6. Derek Carr
7. Marcus Mariota
Anybody else you think should be on there? It's a strange year with the candidacy of the obvious favorite -- Winston -- overshadowed by potential felony sexual assault/rape charges. We found out yesterday that those probably won't come down, if they do, until after the ACC Championship Game. That's also after the Heisman voting deadline. Voters will have to decide whether to discount him before knowing the charges or just let it go, running the risk that the Heisman Trophy winner for this year will eventually charged with a serious crime. We'll see. I'm to the point that if Petty can't win it, and it seems like he probably can't, I'd like to see Lynch or Williams rewarded for their amazing seasons.
