We all remember the World Trade Center attacks. We remember the disbelief, fear, anger, shock and other uncontrollable emotions evoked by what we saw. There is no denying the scale of the attacks in American history. Yet at the same time, every demographic of readers were affected differently.

I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised Tuesday upon reading The Rope. I picked up a copy from the floor in Carroll Science and carried it with me over to the SUB to get my morning coffee.

President Ken Starr called it “epic.” Coach Art Briles said it was “classic,” and junior Mike Hicks, whose interception sealed Baylor’s 50-48 win over TCU Friday night, couldn’t find the words to describe it.

Wow. Just wow. I’ll start with the obvious, in case you missed the game Friday night. In front of a packed house and a national ESPN audience, Baylor football knocked off 14th-ranked TCU, 50-48, in a game that can truly be described as “epic.”
