JesustheDarkLord posted:If it makes you feel better Baylor is historically one of the worst teams ever of the major conferences. That's quite an overstatement. Baylor had an incredibly dark period at the beginning of the Big XII, going 35-101 in the non-Art-Briles Big XII era, but has a better historical record than Oklahoma State, Oregon State, North Carolina State, Washington State, Mississippi State, Indiana and more. I doubt you'd call Stanford one of the worst teams ever in a major conference, but Baylor compares very favorably to it. Baylor has 40 fewer wins than Stanford, over 100 years of playing. According to Wikipedia since WW2: - Stanford has had 16 years where they were ranked in the top 25 at the end of the year, Baylor has had 15. - Stanford has 7 conference titles, Baylor has 4 - Stanford has 17 bowl games, Baylor has 20 bowl games - Stanford and Baylor both have one Heisman Trophy winner I'm not saying Baylor has been a powerhouse, but the first 10 years of the Big XII shouldn't define the program.

Spacebump posted:Growing up in Texas was great for elementary school football discussions. Anytime Baylor came up kids that were Baylor fans would end up trying to talk up a random Baylor women's team. I'm so glad I didn't care about college football in elementary school. Or middle school for that matter.

My mother went to a tiny college in Mississippi for undergrad and a commuter school for grad degree, my dad went to two undergrads for his degree (finishing at Maryland) and then got graduate degrees from three different schools. They were redskins until moving to DFW and being converted to the Landry cowboys. That's what I grew up on: aikman, smith, Irvin, Johnston and that amazing defense. College football was an after thought other than A&M and Texas on Thanksgiving, since neither of my parents cared about the schools they attended, other than it got their degrees. Both my sons already do perfect sic 'ems, gag at the mention of TCU or frogs. My wife's is a third generation Ag, but not a crazy one, so I only have to put up with a bit of that mess.

TheGreyGhost posted:I've lived within 20 miles of Cleveland my whole life explaining my inexplicable loyalty to sports teams I can only describe in terms like "abusive". My first jersey was a youth small Tim Couch, followed by a youth medium Kelly Holcomb. Around then, I realized everything about the Browns was bad. But hey, Lebron came around so that gave me something to root for. The Indians were good now and then too, so we usually had at least one sad, depressing horse to cling to. How am I so freakin' old?

Baylors former president made a big deal about referring to Baylor as BU and wanted to do away with our traditional interlocking BU, because of the obvious confusion between Baylor and Boston University. Because obviously when you hear about BU playing basketball or football, your first thought is the Terriers.

Spiritus Nox posted:If Goodley can improve against press coverage and do some damage returning kicks, he could challenge Tyler Lockett for the title of Big 12's best receiver. I don't know... Lockett is pretty amazing. He's who I'm wishing Coleman grows up to be. I think all the other Big 12 receivers are competing for second place, kinda like TEs and Amaro last year.
