You guys get me again this morning because Kate is still out there flinging her green and gold afar with the WBB team, and you'll like it!
Before anything else, I need to address something that caused a bit of twitter angst, something we can call twangst for short, last night about our presumptive QB for 2013.
Came to the realization that when the time comes for me to sing karaoke I'm only singing Hootie and the Blowfish or Creed #yeaaeh

Ok, so apparently he likes Creed. Take a deep breath, it's going to be ok. I understand Creed gets a lot of hate because Scott Stapp is/was a tremendous douche and the band itself possessed many qualities best described as "Nickelbackian," but we can make it through this. It's not necessarily a bad thing that Petty loves crappy bands from the late 90s. It's probably not good, though. You want a leader of men to have at least an appreciation for good music, I think, though I myself am not what I would call an audiophile. But some were saying this cried out for a music intervention, and that seems a bit premature at this point. If he starts waxing poetic about the Black Eyed Peas or Justin Bieber (God help us), then I'll start sounding the alarms.
Actually, now that I think about it, if he throws bombs on Saturdays this fall and wins games, he can listen to whatever he wants. Game respect game. I will personally make him a mixed CD to his specifications if we start the season 7-0. And I will deliver it by hand.
Now for everything Baylor that you can read in about ten minutes. TL:DR version: the Ladies are playing for another Big 12 Championship, the men are gearing up for a run at their own (and the NCAA Tournament, as well), and Acrobatics and Tumbling, ever a staple of ODB fandom, did something good. I'm not entirely sure what that was.
