The Lunch: Put a dollar in the jukebox and play ‘Revenge Somebody’

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — For all the barbs and blame directed at Bob Bowlsby, the real wedge between Baylor and a 2014 College Football Playoff berth was that loss in Morgantown.

A loss that can be avenged Inigo Montoya-style when West Virginia comes to Waco this week, though Art Briles isn’t pumping up the volume on a game that will be 364 days old by Saturday’s kickoff.

“We’ve got nobody to fault for last year except us. If we’re going to revenge somebody it needs to be on us,” he said.

If there’s not some outlaw country singer working on a song called “Revenge Somebody” right this very minute, I’m disappointed.

And as Briles states in the Gold & Blue Lunch Report, he remains disappointed at how Baylor competed in last season’s 41-27 loss.

“They just whipped our tails,” he said. “You can look at it, diagram it, and look for all this or that, but they just played better. They played more intense.”
