Robert Griffin Out for the Year

Wonder how an injury to a QB on a team we don't play is relevant? Well both Nebraska and Missouri play Baylor this year and while I can't say with any certainty that they could have beaten either team in the North, I do know there chances aren't nearly as good without Griffin. The Texas Tech game just became a whole lot more important for Kansas this season in my opinion.

Tough blow for Baylor

but Blake Szymanski is no slouch as a backup QB. Since they have Jekyll and Hyde-d thus far this season with a road W and a disappointing home L, who the hell knows how things will go for them.

Blake hurt his shoulder as well, ...

a cut if I remember correctly, and may not be available for their next game. Maybe in a few weeks. Tim Griffin’s ESPN-Big12 Blog gives more details.

Ugh.

I hate working again. I had no idea this had even happened.

That sucks. I really enjoy watching Griffin play (whenever BU is on TV in KC) and was hoping that he’d lead Baylor to a decent season.

NOOOOO!!!

He was my second favorite college quarterback. I could switch to Jacory “Tan Marino” Harris, but they blew it against VTech.

Who is your second favorite college quarterback?

That list seems to get new entrants every week

I loved me some Grothe entering the season, but after watching this Keenum kid dance around and just flat will his team to win, I became a fan. I like watching Jake Locker and that bazooka attached to his shoulder, also some Dan LeFevour.

Why God? Why?

This is totally unfair to the football world.

Agreed

All Robert Griffin has is:

1. World-class hurdler speed
2. A rocket cannon for an arm
3. Prodigy-level football IQ (set the record for most pass attempts to start a career without an interception)
4. Prodigy-level non football IQ (4.0 student; father is on the Texas Supreme Court).

The only reason he isn’t a Super Duper Star is that he plays for Baylor.
