Not that anything was wrong around here in the Waco area, but the Baylor football team has given this community and area a big-time emotional life with their Homecoming victory against Kansas State.
The win, 47-42, not only broke a 15-year drought of being Bowl eligible, the Bears found out on Sunday they were ranked in two polls, AP and USA Today/Coaches, and they're 25th in the latest BCS Standings.
Talk about knocking down a few doors in one 24-hour span.
Art Briles and his program have a lot in front of them, including what will be an angry group of Longhorns this Saturday in Austin, but they have popped the balloon in some cases and I wonder if becoming Bowl eligible will allow this team to play even better because they'll have nothing to lose.
Bears have two difficult road games at UT and also in Stillwater, and then home games against Texas A&M and OU.
Just a thought.
