yes and it's an even bigger difference when a major interstate divides the new basketball arena from everything else


Just like a river separates McLane from campus. You can't say that it is off campus and say that McLane isn't. Foster is closer to Pat Neff than McLane Stadium.


See my post above. It's definitely more off-campus than McLane and I don't think it's even debatable. If it matters is debatable, but McLane is the edge of campus. Foster is near campus.

Kim had a15-year stint as an assistant and associate head coach at her alma mater, Louisiana Tech. She was head coach at Baylor for 21 years. If she coaches for 5 more years at LSU, she will have 20 years in the Louisiana retirement system but with a much higher salary level. I think that she chose wisely.

Rumors of a one legged go-go dancer still making the rounds?


Two Minnie's once had a one armed dancer, but I guess anything's possible at Showtime. The jukebox was something I never expected at a strip joint.

She still makes the rounds according to a current grad student I spoke with recently, though the student said it might be closing soon.

The point is not moot, and the issue is not going away no matter how often such things are declared. A generational coach who was loyal to Baylor left and too many people will never forget it. I've forgiven, but will not forget. Many have not forgiven and will not forget as long as the AD who let her get away is here. That's just reality.

Is it really off-campus or just on the outer edge of campus. I mean they are building it behind Clifton Robinson which has been there for a long time. It is just as much on campus as McLane is on-campus.


The only connection to campus is a walkway underneath I-35. I'm assuming they'll have people park at McLane and walk the bridge over or shuttle, but then also park near the law school and all of that area and shuttle/walk.

Currently the walkway is closed for construction, but assuming it goes back to what it was it's 1.5-2 normal sidewalks in width. You have to pass the cemeteries, Texas Sports Hall of Fame, AFCA, and Texas Ranger Museum to walk that path from campus.

I'd say it's not on campus, and much less so than McLane. McLane has a straight, all on-campus walk to it whereas Foster technically won't. If they do the walkway well it won't make much difference for non-students. I do fear the physical barrier of I-35 will cause it to feel a lot more isolated for students, though.

It may not matter in the end. What I do think matters is bulldozing Robinson Tower. Preferably tomorrow and if not tomorrow on Sunday. It looks ridiculous next to Foster and will only look worse when the building is completed. It also harms the campus feel by breaking up the architecture with a random office building.


Yes and on the other side of the road is the North Village, a parking garage, and the Hurd. The campus is growing that direction. You pass by the Hurd and you go under the interstate. Just like you pass by the Law School and cross over the Brazos for McLane. I mean let's be real. Until a bridge was put across the Brazos no one considered that area on campus. It was the Lagoon apartments I think.

Anyone think she would have left for anywhere else than to Louisiana (LSU)? Home means something, especially as you get older. I would have gone no matter what I was offered at Baylor. If you aren't of retirement age or close to it and are living away from a place you love, you can't understand. I don't think any of it was about money. Personally if I was her, I would have taken a pay cut. I can see why she has been reinvigorated. Getting home has seemed to have given her new energy.


So she kept her house in Waco because LSU is home? Gotcha.
Gee thanks. I never knew she was born and raised in Texas. Louisiana is her home. LSU just happens to be the really only viable big-time school in the state. I can have a house and property anywhere. That doesn't mean that when you get down to the nitty gritty I would call it "home" and where I would most like to be to get back to my roots.

BTW, you didn't answer the question. Given no change in circumstances, do you believe she would have gone anywhere else than to a Louisiana school, and as mentioned above LSU is the only real option there to stay big-time? I think that if that job didn't happen to be open at exactly the right time she would still be here or retired.

She and Mack didn't get along and hadn't for his entire tenure. That's why she left. The home thing is just a sales pitch to people that can't see the facts. I'm sure there aren't many jobs she'd have gone to, but her daughter and grandkids are in Waco and she kept her house in Waco. You can pretend her home is in Louisiana, but if you've ever met a grandmother you know her home is in Waco.

North Village isn't across any road of consequence. Neither is the parking garage. The Hurd is across Dutton, but that's just a road used to traverse that part of campus.

Foster is across 35, and if you think walking past Hurd to get there and across 2 frontage roads you're crazy. I've done it and it isn't safe, especially not at night. The path by the water, if lit, is a lot better.

Foster isn't on campus. It just isn't. It's close enough that might not matter, but let's not lie and say it is. You can't straddle an intestate and call it contiguous.

You may be right, but I will never be convinced otherwise that LSU was the only place to which she would go. Heck, the season had been over for months till that job opened up late. There was apparently up until it opened up no intent on her to go anywhere regardless of personal relationships. Anyway all of that is water under the bridge. I like what I see in the new coach.

I don't disagree she wouldn't have gone many, if any, other places. I just think the "home" bit is a sales pitch.

Let me break it down in more simple language. The Hurd, North Village, and the garage in between them are on the other side of University Parks from the AFCA, The Texas Sports Hall of Fame, and the cemetery. My whole point is that you can't say McLane is on campus and the Foster isn't. You can say both really aren't on campus and that would be fair, but if you can magically extend campus to the other side of the river where off campus apartments were before the building of the stadium. You can also magically extend it to be on the other side of the interstate where an actual campus building sets that houses a lot of school admin. You might not think people really spend that much time on that part of campus, and that might be true for undergrads. I guarantee you I spent more time at the towers than I did at the apartments that were where McLane currently sit.

Also, I have safely crossed under the interstate there on foot many times. It might be easier to go along the river, it might not. We will have to see when the Foster opens.

Foster is closer to every dorm on campus than Ferrell Center. And you have to cross a 6 lane road through traffic to get to FC. You'll be walking under I-35 to get to foster.

Walking under a freeway is never a good experience, ever. I assumed that the planners have other routes and parking options baked in so that pedestrians don't have to do that.

The current administration is very good at limiting liability. There's always cops and lots of people to direct traffic on game day, I'll give them that. I'm sure it'll be the same for the new pavilion. That kind of stuff doesn't bother me. If you really want to be scared, go walk at night in some of those areas south of LaSalle circa 2011 when I lived there

Great point. My house was one removed from a corner with drug dealers and prostitutes. The house across the street cooked meth. I never had anything stolen though. I also figured they thought if we lived there we had nothing worth stealing.

The house I lived in on 3rd Street was burglarized prior to when I lived there. Not terrible in the daytime but got very sketchy at night. There were two different police chases that ended basically in our front yard. I believe a girl was almost kidnapped on second street directly over from us. The Dairy Queen down the street was robbed multiple times. Last summer I lived there after I turned 21 I kept a gun right next to my bed, lol

Uhm no, crossing the interstate and crossing under it are not the same thing.

Please do better. If you're going to pretend to be a Bear, you probably need to start acting a little more educated. I mean even us lowly dregs of the free board know that there's a difference between crossing an interstate and crossing under it.


Y'all don't play a real life game of Frogger when you try to get to the stadium?? Have I been doing this wrong?

Except you don't cross the interstate… you go under it. I cross under it every football game I attend with zero issues. Cops always on either side directing traffic.
best part of your statement is saying you don't cross then immediately saying you cross

why are you putting my name with your quote?

also do you make it a habit of replying for other people? i replied to boykin - not you.

I put your name in the quote because
the sad thing about a guy like you is in twenty years you're gonna start doing some thinking on your own and you're gonna come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life.

One, don't do that.

And Two, if you actually went to baylor, which i doubt, you dropped tens of thousands of dollars on an education you could have got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library

The current administration is very good at limiting liability. There's always cops and lots of people to direct traffic on game day, I'll give them that. I'm sure it'll be the same for the new pavilion. That kind of stuff doesn't bother me. If you really want to be scared, go walk at night in some of those areas south of LaSalle circa 2011 when I lived there




Great point. My house was one removed from a corner with drug dealers and prostitutes. The house across the street cooked meth. I never had anything stolen though. I also figured they thought if we lived there we had nothing worth stealing.


The house I lived in on 3rd Street was burglarized prior to when I lived there. Not terrible in the daytime but got very sketchy at night. There were two different police chases that ended basically in our front yard. I believe a girl was almost kidnapped on second street directly over from us. The Dairy Queen down the street was robbed multiple times. Last summer I lived there after I turned 21 I kept a gun right next to my bed, lol


My Beretta was right there by mine. It sounds like we both had less than desirable living circumstances. Part of me hopes my son will have a similar experience, but then the part that would never forgive myself if something bad happened to him says no.


I lived pretty close to Viteks, at that time that was pretty far to the outside of the baylor bubble. My roommates were roaches. Multiple car and apartment window break ins in the complex. Slept with a loaded 12 Gauge to the side of my bed those years. And no, I'm not really hoping my son lives any place like that. But fond memories all the same, and it sure makes for good stories with the guys.
