Ben Sargent Nails Baylor!

Wow! A basketball player at Baylor University is dead. Baylor University is a member of the Big 12 Conference. Another of my favorite comics is Tank McNamara. Jeff Millar and Bill Hinds have created a fictional ESU (Enormous State University) in Tank McNamara's world. Baylor is attempting to compete with 11 ESUs. Someone (my Lubbock chum, Kevin) referred to Baylor as the Vanderbilt of the Big 12. (Vanderbilt is the sole private school among the ESUs of the Southeast Conference: Alabama, Auburn, Kentucky, Georgia, and you get the picture; unfortunately, Baylor is no Vanderbilt.) Baylor needs to get out of the Big 12. Baylor needs to fire the president of the university (The buck stops here, said Harry S Truman.) Baylor is in the Big 12 because the governor of Texas when Baylor was invited to join the Big 12 was Ann Richards (Baylor alum). I esteem Ann Richards, but Baylor had no business in the Big 12; her political efforts in behalf of Baylor University were misguided. In the end, the basketball program under (former) Coach Dave Bliss was corrupt from top to bottom. What does Baylor profit if it sells its soul? What would Jesus do? He sure as hell wouldn't have turned a blind eye to Dave Bliss! W will probably establish his Presidential Library (one book?) at Baylor University. W (now a born-again Methodist) could choose SMU in Dallas, but I think W's Texas home in Crawford, TX probably tilts the scale to Baylor. Bush I's Library is on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station. W could always send Dave Bliss to Iraq to coach the Iraqi men's basketball team. The options are endless.
