We’re nearly two full days out of whatever that was we witnessed Saturday and I’m still a little numb. I kept watching the crawler at the bottom of whatever television I was watching Saturday night and I’d see the stats for Geno or Stedman and this little guy in the back of my head would pound on the wall and go, “HEY, THAT’S THE LAST THREE GAMES, RIGHT?”

It was one game.

And poor Johnny Manziel. The Texas A&M quarterback, this gifted little freshman who’s doing silly things in the SEC, was 29-for-38 for 453 yards and three touchdowns. For kicks, he added 104 yards and a touchdown on the ground and scrambled away with a conference record for total offense.

Geno Smith scoffs at this. Oh, four touchdowns? That’s nice, you can borrow some of mine.

It was just ridiculous. I don’t think it’s the norm, but I do wonder if it’s far from reality — like, pre-snap cushion far. There are going to be some shootouts and there is ample ammunition for WVU to survive, but there are also ample landmines on the other side of the ball. Saturday night could be similar, though less spectacular on the grandeur scale .

The sage in bloom smells like perfume deep in the heart of texts. My edits are in [brackets].

9:37 a.m.
Pressing issue before first Big XII game? Which old white men will make small talk on the field!

11:09
Have you ever noticed that Pat White sounds like Cleveland from Family Guy?

11:53
This ain’t intramurals!!!!!!!

11:57
Got to my seat in time to see Trace Atkins’s ass. Priorities.

11:57
Honkey tonk badonkadonk.

11:58
Trace Adkins is big time!

11:59
It worked!!!! This looks AMAZING!!!

12:01 p.m.
Very impressed with striping the stadium

12:02
BOLERJACK AND KLATT scream high profile game

12:04
Random question; how do college athletes who can’t have jobs afford $200+ Beats headphones? ALL OF THEM have em. I mean…come on!

12:05
From the Baylor fan behind me. “Look at the shirts. That’s rad. They take football way more seriously than we do.”

12:05
AP preview leads with Baylor going after 10th consecutive win. That must be why Bowlsby is in the house.

12:05
We have a Petros Papadakis sideline sighting

12:05
Petros? From Petros and Money on the radio?? KILL ME!!!!

12:08
DARWINNING!

12:08
Uh oh. Briles just summoned Carlton Dotson to “take care” of Florence after that pick

12:10
The volley ball play still excites me

12:11
JD Woods is wearing his jersey up off his stomach like its 1988…

12:15
Interception. I just had to do an obligatory Triple X move.

12:16
Well, the O-Line is still struggling and field goal goes wide right! We’re off and rolling!

12:18
Ok, I still want to know who decided Pat Miller was a D-1 quality DB….

12:20
So a shootout it is. We should prolly find our bullets.

12:21
I guess the people in the box seats didn’t understand the stripe the stadium concept….

12:22
Hey, crowd better coordinated than defense. Yay, stripes!!

12:28
(Stuff) just got real.

12:29
It still bugs me, when I see the retired numbers, to not see number 5 up there…

12:29
Best block for a GW guy at WVU since John Ray demolished the Eat N Park buffet in ’90

12:33
Their special teams is fast, yo.

12:33
Is that seriously the rule? Is he supposed to lay down?

12:35
Win or lose Nick Florence is taking his Trans am to the moon tower tonight, blasting Skynyrd and crushing some Busch Light

12:37
Trouble.

12:37
Okay, their offense is fast.

12:38
D-line is getting a old fashioned BUTT kickin

12:38
Attackle!

12:41
I really wasnt planning on crying today.

12:42
Nice pitch Bailey, don’t ever [ever] do it again.

12:50
If your are looking for our defense, try Arizona …..

12:58
Even David Duval thinks that was a terrible slice

12:59
Missed figgie. Now WVU must flip the script.

1:00
I love the stuff ( anything) they put on the video screen

1:03
Why isn’t McCartney playing more?! (He just dropped a third down pass after cutting his route short of the first down anyway.)

1:04
I would rather have Calvert DeForrest aka Larry Bud Melman on staff than Joe DeForest, who is a terrible cordinator

1:05
When did we re-hire Phil f*&%$ing Elmassian back?

1:08
Here come the Pat Miller texts!

1:11
Pat Miller starts…why???

1:12
Baylor’s bear claw sign during kickoffs is also the sign deaf people make for laughter. You think about that.

1:13
Pat Miller has mastered the 12 yard cushion on third down

1:13
Is it bad that I want 10 minutes alone with Holgorsen? Maybe 15.

1:15
Baylor fans: They have mountains! It’s crazy, they have trees and [foliage]

1:15
$10 for a dance with Katie Kane. — A

1:16
Steady needs to play within the legal limits of the game.

1:17
I wonder what Bailey’s pastor thinks of such unsportsmanlike conduct

1:19
I know we ask a lot of Oliver Luck, but can be also bring our band’s flag uniforms into the 21st century?

1:26
We get the ball first in the second half. So as long as we time out scores just right, we’ll win, right?

1:29
SON OF A [PISTOL]! We have no defense!

1:29
Tied at halftime would be a major victory.

1:31
I would really like to hear the commentator scream “Darwin Cook!” any moment now.

1:31
No timeout here?

1:32
That sack lowered Baylor’s 3rd down % to 66.7. Lowered!

1:33
Way to go coaches. I was able to text “No timeout here?” before you actually called the timeout. They’re not like cell phone minutes.

1:36
During the Baylor punt, a woman behind me yelled, “intercept it! Intercept it!”

1:37
CEJ!!!!

1:37
I dance to CEJ just to spite you 😉

1:38
Why is Baylor calling timeouts??? I really appreciate it!!!

1:39
Amazing. Hand him the Heisman.

1:39
Way to catch La Paz!

1:39
Bulger is somewhere saying “He gets Holgorsen AND Stedman Bailey?!” Not fair.

1:42
I’d be pissed if I wasn’t laughing at this.

1:42
He may have thrown that past the line of scrimmage though.

1:46
Rush 3, drop 8, get beat for a 65 yard touchdown…just another day in the life of the WVU defense

1:47
I’m so pissed. Why the [HOCKEY] do you just stop playing.

1:49
I HATE our defense

1:49
Why the hell did #34 turn & step towards the line of scrimmage for a split second instead on angling towards the runner?

1:51
Pick your poison with WVU. Throw to the right a.nd the 10 yard cushion of Miller or throw to the left where Jenkins can’t cover deep.

1:59
I remember when the new d coordinator said don’t look at the yards given up as a measure. after 338 yards given up in the first half I now understand that quote

2:01
DeForest Gump. That is all.

2:05
How many sports writers in the box have no idea of the rule (whole body must cross line of scrimmage) yet will tweet/column as if they did?

2:07
Controversial statement: Best commentators we’ve had this year.

2:13
Ridiculously long lines for beer at the half. Gee wonder why?

2:17
Stand together as a team! And MAKE PLAYS!

2:18
If they call that incomplete, they’re [pathetic].

2:19
Commentator is full of crap, saying this is clearly incomplete. Where do they find these guys?

2:22
[Balderdash]. No way there’s enough to overturn THAT and not enough to overturn the Florence illegal forward pass

2:30
The artist to the poet.

2:30
I’d feel better if I didn’t know there’s still 70 points to be scored in this game.

2:31
I knew I should have bet life savings on the over

2:31
I don’t understand these Hooters commercials at all.

2:39
“Virginia celebrates.” These commentators have really dropped the ball since my controversial statement earlier.

2:41
I bet Bob Hertzel loves all this offense about as much as he would having to wear a shirt and tie, or drink O’Douls

2:48
Darius Rucker tweeting praise at Geno. He only wants to be with Eu.

2:49
Patlo Miller is harshing my mellow

2:50
Pat Miller didn’t think the ten yard cushion was enough so he gave them an extra 15

2:53
Daron Roberts apparently didn’t take “coaching corners for [crap]” at Hahvahd

2:53
Spike the ball to celebrate a TD? Penalty. Blatantly turn around to talk [aggressively] to the defender? Nothing.

2:54
No flag for talking [very aggressively]? It should count as double when you are down two TDs. (Chris Henry rule)

2:54
Alright, these are the worst commentators of the year bc they’ve now done 3 laps on Pat Miller’s “throw down” that wasn’t a throw down.

2:58
Destructive offense…exciting players…the no damn doubt about it Heisman front runner…and I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. I blame your book

3:01
Yo, it’s your dog. Put me in. I can handle this. Am serious.

3:03
Baylor’s only chance to win is trying an onside kick after every score. It works sometimes on the XBox, so why not.

3:07
Have to have the onside kick on the radar here.

3:10
Seriously, what is going on?

3:23
Robert Smith hopes they won’t keep Geno in the game. What the what?

3:24
When was the last time we were worried with 62? Got a stat for that?

3:24
We need to speed up this game. Nick Florence is due back at the Brazzers set in 2 hours.

3:25
7NA = Other team scores. STOP PLAYING THAT [SONGING] SONG!

3:33
If we had some serious D…we’d be dangerous!

3:34
70, it’s good to see you again!

3:34
There are no words in English left to describe this offense, so I’ll just text in tongues: HAAJGA:DE:HAAIAigtiGHGH:;ia!!!!!68456$$;2)’xseutafgh!!!!!!!rhf

3:35
This much scoring and my girlfriend will learn to like football.

3:35
I haven’t seen this many bombs since a J-Lo FilmFest / Mosul surge / Gap Band concert

3:39
Among the people who have tweeted something about WVU during this game; Mike Trout…and Lebron James. Think we’ve got people’s attention?

3:39
What kind of world do we live in when 70 points isnt safe??

3:46
Pining for Jeff Castel right now

3:47
Holy bejesus woods

3:47
Wow! Incredible catch!

3:52
WVU ices it on a draw & Nehlen pours another dram of hot fudge

3:58
You can add James Harden to the list of people losing their [bearings] about Geno on Twitter.

4:11
Still hate D. But Geno, Steddy and Tavon for heisman

4:17
I’d text more but I’m so stuffed on HAMMMMMM
