4-7 Texas just beat 9-2 Baylor in Waco.

Holy shit.

I'm not going to pretend that I've got this one all the way processed - it was a roller coaster that left the head spinning, the heart pounding and the corn dogs perilously close to coming up for a rematch. Which is, on the face of it, absurd. This game carried no bowl game upside of any kind and was approached with less anticipation than any Texas contest in recent memory - a meaningless clock-punching that could only take on larger relevance if turned into a 50-point clock-cleaning and served as an eleventh-hour referendum on everything.
