Robert Griffin III sat down in front of cameras and reporters today to confirm rumors that he'd decided to forgo his senior season and enter the 2012 NFL Draft, and he did it wearing Barney the Dinosaur socks—because he "loves everybody." It's a different look from the Superman socks he sported at the Heisman ceremony in December, but it's also the perfect swap. Barney?!? This kid is so goddamn charming he might even steal Tebow's Jockey endorsement by draft time. More »

Lost in the madness of the actual game was this female fan and her loyalty, dedication and love for Baylor football. At great personal risk, she swung her way across the field to take part in celebrating Baylor's stunning upset of Oklahoma. It must have been exhilarating for her and everyone else who took part, for that matter. You don't go to a game expecting things like that to happen, but every now and then, something magical happens. Who knows, maybe she even met the man of her dreams out there. More »

Has there been a more triumphant, petty, relevant week for Baylor football? It merely started with their upset of TCU, and has continued with the Bears positioning themselves as a lone bulwark against the partitioning of college football into superconferences. More »

Congratulations to Dave Bliss, the former Baylor coach, who, despite having presided over one of college sports' ugliest episodes, and despite having enlisted his team in an effort to smear a player, Patrick Dennehy, who had just been murdered by a teammate... More »

Brittney Griner is a 6-foot-8 women's basketball player at Baylor who dunks in games. How to describe her? With analogy! More »

Via reader Ben comes this video of a 5-year-old girl who's incredibly, adorably distraught over the Baylor guard's approaching graduation. It is, I believe, the distilled essence of every Rivals.com message board in existence. [YouTube; somewhat related] More »

NCAA rules demand that a player who throws a punch in a game get an automatic one-game suspension. Brittney Griner's coach gave her one more to grow on but even if that's normal, it's not really what she deserves. More »

Brittney Griner dunks twice (scoff, but when's the last time Shaq did that?) as the Lady Bears put a Texas-sized hurting on Texas State, 99-18. At least the Washington Generals keep it close until the ladder comes out. [Waco Tribune] More »

Baylor lost to UConn this weekend—yes, football—but the campus isn't really concerned about the Bears' gridiron woes. They'd much rather talk about a girl who might have stolen beer out of some frat guy's cooler while tailgating. More »

1. Dave Bliss was a real dick. Much has been made of the job Scott Drew has done to clean up the mess that was left him, but you really can't quite overstate it. To remind you, former Baylor coach Dave Bliss made illegal payments to his players, and, when he was busted, after the death of Patrick Dennehy, he told his players to lie about money given to Dennehy and tell investigators that he was a drug dealer. Needless to say, Bliss is not coaching anymore, and the Bears spent years in NCAA probation hell until Drew, Mr. Fix-It, came in to reconstruct the whole program. More »
