Turn off your fucking stupid video games and get a taste of reality. This game is amazing. It’s a total shootout. Robert Griffith III (the Heisman Trophy winner) is having an great game. Yet, it’s still the 1st 1/2 and Baylor (the favorite) is down 28-21. Again, turn off your stupid video games and reconnect with the world. You might find it a bit interesting. ---

I’m watching. Now that it’s half-time, I got on the computer. Turn off your computer and reconnect with the world. You might find it interesting. ---

Is anyone railbirding the Thursday Night Straight Dope Hold’Em Tournament? There’s this rookie, **Maserschmidt** , who is tearing a new one in every Doper’s rear end… Should just go on Poker Stars and look for Mental Guy’s Poker Club…you don’t even need a TV…😉 ---

Exercise? Do 12-ounce curls count? Nice pair of touchdowns there. We’ll see who wants to (eventually) play defense. ---

50 - 39 Washington half way through the 3rd quarter. Your grandmother plays defense. ---

Just tuned in, thanks to this thread. Some interesting scores–and Baylor may have just scored. They’re reviewing. ---

Correction, update. 6 minutes left in the third quarter. Washington 49-46. The hits just keep on coming. ---

They must both be resting the first and second defenses for the fourth quarter. ---

Thanks, **McMurphy** , this is a fun game to watch. I’m glad both teams decided to play the second string defense for the whole game - I’m sure it’s part of their master plan to give little-used underclassmen experience for next year. 😉 ---

The second stringer are back in the classroom taking their finals. Baylor back on top 53-49 ---

I seem to remember a Bowl game back in the day that was something like 68-64. Anyone remember what it was? BYU-SDSU maybe? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-anybody-watching-baylor-vs-washington/607792.md?page=2)
