    McClure has improved with the play by play since the start of the season, but he is still hard to listen to.

    He's highly unpolished and a bit too spontaneous perhaps. I kept waiting for something entirely inappropriate for a broadcast to pop out. 

    On another note, I wonder if anyone has considered giving Sochan the nickname "The Pole Assassin".

    Bears come away with a clutch win tonight for drew’s 400th win. Kendall brown and James akinjo are fun to watch.

    They are. Akinjo was more of a scorer before arriving in Waco (stops in Georgetown and Arizona) but that was his role then. He can still light it up but the Bears spread the ball, find-the-best-shot offense has really highlighted his passing. 

    Brown took a hard fall on what could have been a flagrant last night. I hope he's okay, he's a true freshman so a bit new to rough and tumble big boy play and it's going to be a long season.

    Sure wish we had Love healthy/available. The depth he could have provided is going to be missed at times during the year and particularly late in the season when bodies are beat up. I think back to Tristan Clark and how much the hopes and dreams were on his health and then *poof*, gone forever. I know Freddie Gillespie stepped in, out of nowhere it seemed, and we were pretty, pretty good but I'd just rather not go thru that anxiety of finding out what's on the bench again. 

    Good road win, I'm sure the guys learned from the experience and they're going to need it. A couple more tune-up games in Waco this month and then it's off to Ames on Jan. 1st to face the Cyclones of Hilton. Barring a catastrophe we'll go in there rated #1 and primed for our first loss of the year. 

  3. Is it just me or have the rocket engine tests become more frequent? At first they were exciting, "ooh! We've got rockets!". Then, it became charming - visitor "What's THAT?!?", (smugly) "Oh, that's just our rockets. You don't have rockets?". Now it's becoming annoying. Elon, get your ass to Mars already.

    In other news Waco/Baylor finally agreed to terms on a shared venue for basketball and concerts. They're calling it a "pavilion" and it'll be on the river adjacent to where Clifton Robinson Tower is now.
