In case you haven't heard, ESPN College GameDay is coming to Waco on Saturday for the tilt against Kansas State. You know we're talking about that, and we do quite a bit to start. Mark, Prashanth and I are here to do just that as well as talk about surviving Texas Tech in Arlington over the weekend. Here's what we're talking about:

• The most on-the-nose cold open ever.
• Our reaction to the news, including outlook on how it affected our moods in the aftermath of the Tech game
• Note: Pras cut out at one point in here, but the way we record allowed me to salvage the point he makes. I left it in, then shifted to the conversation Mark and I had while he was gone. You may notice a somewhat abrupt conversation change from a conversation perspective.
• The rankings and our feelings towards them this week
• NOTE: Let's not go crazy with our engagement of the media this
• Signs, Signs, everywhere signs (more on that in a bit) - We're discussing the 61-58 sign and its prevalence.

• The tale of two games: With and without Bryce Petty and how his injury impacted both sides of the ball
• Tech was able to find matchups to exploit
• Resurfacing of the three-man front and the lack of designed blitz packages
• In which aspect of our offense/defense are we most confident
• "It's Tech's Bowl Game!" and how that actually impacted the play of the game
• Ryan Reid and his amazing forced turnover
• More Big 12 Ref fun and Rod Gilmore
• The two respective hits on the QBs
• Bryce Petty's injury and his status moving forward

We talked about it in the podcast, but someone mentioned that they're going to put up a fanpost for GameDay sign ideas. Since we're going to be doing a live preview show on Thursday night, we'll talk about those sign ideas, pick the best, and maybe put up a poll so that you can vote on the best ones. Bears, bring the wit. Let's do this big.

NOTE: This was recorded on Sunday night, but work prevented me from getting the podcast compiled and edited. Sorry about that. We're opening up by talking about the ridiculous weather during the game on Saturday night which, if you weren't there, was significantly worse than it appeared on TV. It rained intermittently during the first half and started truly raining right before half time and didn't stop raining for the rest of the game. The rain got heavier as the game went on. Pras was able to stay dry by watching the game from his couch. Mark and his wife got amazing rain suits that kept them dry, while I had more trouble because my $4 poncho ripped and the sole of my right boot fell off at about the first touchdown. That's right... Fell. Off. It was weird.

Here's some of the topics we're talking about in this one:

• How the weather impacted the play on the field
• Mason Rudolph's performance (kid can ball out, y'all)
• Defensive game plan and execution against a new quarterback
• The lack of a conspiracy in the media to keep Baylor out of the conversation*
• Once again, it's not the holding of the Selection Committee, it's the reasoning that bothers us
• Mark and I have trouble differentiating between Indiana and Illinois
• THERE IS A GIANT FOOT TRYING TO SQUASH YOU
• I have a theory about what criteria the Selection Committee will use this week (I was wrong, but I think my theory makes more sense than what they actually used)
• Ryan Reid
• The best passing defense Baylor's beaten this year
• The true source of Auburn's run of luck last year and FSU's this year
• More!

Happy Premise Number 1: There are no aliens. Happy Premise Number 2: There is no giant foot trying to squash me. Happy Premise Number 3: Even though I feel like I might ignite, I probably won't.-Eddie Murphy in Bowfinger

I'm not so sure about HP#1... Jeff Long may just be an alien. HP#2 is absolutely false. But, HP#3... that one's pretty true. The entire Baylor fan base probably feels like they'll ignite right about now.
