His picture is in the dictionary

I was going to set this spot aside to complain about students who are pawning off their tickets for mounds of ill-gotten cash, but after our win over Kansas, I can't find the heart to whine about anything.

Fact is, Billy Gillispie is so dominant, that "dominating" should be the only verb associated with the man.

He doesn't wake up in the morning - He's just done dominating his bed.

He doesn't check the weather before leaving for work - He dominates the remote, and then studies how to best dominate the most favorable route to work.

He doesn't eat breakfast - He dominates the most important meal of the day.

He doesn't leave for work - He dominates everything from point A to point B from the comfort of his car.

Guys, that Kansas win is the biggest win in school history, in my opinion. Who would've thought the first team to snap Kansas's home dominance against the Big XII South would be Texas A&M?

There are lot of reasons a team goes on a 17-4 run to finish the game off as winners, but mental toughness is the most paramount. This team does not quit. Period. Five down, ten down - it doesn't matter.

I'm convinced that even if the gaping maw of Hell erupted in midcourt to swallow all human life, Gillispie would have kept his team focused, and our all-American candidate would have still drained that shot.
