    I really do think Texas State would have beaten Florida. They may have done it a little differently but I think they would have. But we’ll know more about this in 10 minutes. If Baylor gets shredded, then Baylor really is just terrible. It’s possible.

    Was QB2 the starter against Florida? Did RB1 or 2 play against Florida? I know the TE was out. I’m happy he still is. We need all the help you can give us.

    We lost a few important ones too but things are already too bad to think about that.

  • I was here a bit before the season started but had a family emergency and disappeared. After last week I should probably stay gone. I watched your game against Florida. Nice win while missing a few key players. I suffered through 90% of the Baylor game until I turned it off to go to bed at 5 AM my time.

    Some last week observations.

    NIL is big in the Big 12. Here’s a few things I’ve seen about it.

    The On3 NIL valuation list uses a couple metrics to estimate player value and includes some confirmed amounts. It includes the top 75 or 100 which you can filter by sport and whether the player is in college or high school. #2 in all of NIL is the very popular gymnast from LSU,…[Read more]

  • I think you will find this interview to be interesting. It covers a little about adding the 4 PAC teams, potential to add non revenue for b’ball (Gonzaga for sure, I think UConn could be likely), and he thinks a certain team will be playing in Morgantown in Year 1. https://youtu.be/W7BR_dcV1Q0?t=908

    Baylor was also inconsistent last year. They played TCU tight losing by 1 point in the last 2 minutes. But they didn’t show up in a couple games or else totally underwhelmed. This is a concern. I’m sick of the re-alignment crap and ready to play game 1 to see if I’ll be crying or smiling.

    Yes this is a strong OOC series. I hope the playoffs allow more of this with more slots available. I never enter a Baylor season (except some Briles years and maybe 2021) with over-confidence. This is my most worried one in over a decade based on the 2021 setback.

  • BUBearsFan replied to the topic Baylor vs Utah in the forum Football 8 months, 3 weeks ago

    Several things about Baylor in 2022 that may be less known:

    – During the Briles era, Baylor was a passing attack and like a video game; now Baylor is wide zone and wants to run the ball.
    – BU was the youngest or next to youngest team in the Big 12; not really hitting the transfer portal after big attrition from 2021. Very big mistake by Aranda…[Read more]

    I just don’t know. I’ve been humbled with how fast you can go from great to bad. And I think the transfer portal creates a another unknown. I don’t buy the hype anymore because it’s too internally focused when the reality is that improvement only matters in relation to all other teams. If you move from bad to good you still lose if others move…[Read more]

    I’m looking forward to football and the BU vs Utah game. I’ll be watching for your predictions and analysis. From me, the key for BU is the QB play. Shapen was electric when he was inserted in 2021 (because of Brewer – – also short-term Ute – – concussion, and he beat OSU in the championship game by a couple inches. 2022 was a huge drop off. He…[Read more]

  • Baylor fan here. Constructive points to our potential new members if Utah could swallow the drop in competition. : )) I’m curious about some thoughts on these points:1) It seems like Pac 12 schools have little respect for Big 12 schools minus OU and UT. I’ve seen discussion on the Utah board about their reluctance to be in the Big 12 because of…[Read more]
