All Hail The Baylor Bears!!

Baylor Bears
How about those Baylor Bears and their 5 OT barnburner against Texas A&M last night? 5 OTs!! That's an eternity.
I love sports. And more than that I love fans that are as crazy or crazier than myself. My teams haven't won a championship since 1964. That's 4 favorite teams (NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL) and no titles in my lifetime. It's hard to be as insane as I am.
So when I got the following e-mail from my buddy Dimsdale, I could do nothing but smile. He uses the same sort of reaches and jumps in his logic that I use to make about 95% of my Browns, Cavs, Sabres or Indians arguments.
Erie's Scribe,
I was thinking about this and I think now (if ever) would be the time to write about the Bears....after all the abuse we've gotten over the years for our performances in football and basketball, it does feel damn good to be a Bear today.
Just think:
Mens basketball- Top 25, just won arguably one of the best b-ball games in history against our own perceived "rival." (A&M does not share our perception) Five OTs, sucka. (Think the Indians beat the Spankees in the playoffs last year!!)
Womens basketball- #6 in the country, recent national championship, perennial powerhouse.
Baseball- Pundits are talking about this team returning to Omaha. (Most pundits are talking the Browns returning to the playoffs in 2008)
Softball- #8 in the country
Tennis- Two of the best programs in the country.
Not to mention Baylor football is looking up with Art Briles on campus. Not too shabby at all for a little 'ol private school in Waco that they said couldn't compete....
--Dimsdale
A little background on Dimsdale and the Bears. Dimsdale is, to my knowledge, the biggest Baylor fan on the planet. As for the Bears, people probably remember them mostly for their basketball team's murder tragedy and the weird circumstances surrounding the murder. On the field, the Bears are like the Northwestern of the Big-12, but today, I say Sic 'em!

SIC' EM BEARS! Well done!
don't forget about the great things the equestrian team is doing!

The equestrian team might be the best of all. Champions of humanity.
That equestrian team is the heart and soul of the Baylor athletic department.
I really appreciate your comparison of Baylor to the Bengals. Fierce loyalty that reminds one of religion. Hello Tom Cruise!
