On our phone right now, it is the head coach of your Baylor Bears preparing for the hated TCU Hornfrogs.

This coming Saturday at 11 a.m. over there at the Carter, it is head football coach Dave Oranda.

By the way, Dave, you're sponsored by Texas Live and Baker Baker Brothers, plumbing, air, and electric. Already sponsor. Congratulations. You had no say in it. Good to be with you guys. How are you, man? You're doing good, good. It's... The Big 12 is so wacky. It's so great. It's so wild ass. And the fact that, you know, you're looking at it right now.

You guys had a very close loss a couple of weeks ago to Arizona State. You have a very,

very tight win over Kansas State. And I believe probably the proverbial thought is, let's just

ride the wave. And if we can keep winning these games,

close games, we're going to be right in the thick of things come December.

You know, we've been in the past. We're not necessarily two and four, but three and three,

you know, we're kind of finding our way and wish we would have started out faster

and we're trying to build to see what kind of team we got. And the thing that's kind of pushed us

over the edge and got us to, hey, we're winning ball games and there's kind of a run and

there's success and all of it.

When we've been able to do that, it's been takeaways and turnover margin.

You know, right now we're four and two, but our turnover margin is not what it needs to be, you know. And last year, I think around this time, we were negative four, negative three, which is where we're at right now.

So we've given up the ball more than we've taken it away.

But when we had our winning street, we went from that negative four to like plus four, you know.

And so it's just such a big difference.

And we've been working really hard to try to get that thing where that's, you know, practice. We're seeing it. It's got to be reflected in games.

We're hoping we can kind of get some of that here coming up Saturday.

You know, Coach, I got you on my radar. I'm a kid from Madison.

And so when you were up there with the Badgers from 13 to 15, you know Badger Ball is winning a game 13 to 10.

And now you're playing games where you're scoring 40 and trying to make that enough.
