Ok, that's just dumb. There was a Bluebonnet Bowl way back in the day, but this is a really lame attempt

Can't pick a name for it. At this point it may take some sort of intervention of fate to get a name to stick.

For the record, I'm fine with revivalry, but others seem to hate that one.

They called it the Holy War on NCAA 13. I guess the schools finally picked a name for it, I'm glad. Apparently they are also adding a trophy as well?

Holy war is perfect loved it on ncaa 13

Lame

Except that holy war is not only already taken but conjures images of ya know . . . actual Holy War. Not very 2023 friendly.

Indian Paintbrushes? Blankets?

Goofy. Just win.

Not a fan of fake tradition. If it wasn't enough of a rivalry to give it a name 50 years ago, there's no point. It always took a back seat to others in the conference. Most of that span either Baylor or TCU or both were pretty irrelevant in football.

They tried naming the Baylor Tech thing in Jerry world a while back, but they ended up having to change it because "Shootout" gave to many media wokesters the vapers. So just call it a football game, and likely not a particular interesting one this year.

If it's going to have a rivalry name, then the game should be played at a neutral site half-way between the two cities. I vote for Itasca. Patton Field holds 1,374. We might be able to fill it.

Did they move the game date to March?

We could play it at the outlet mall in Hillsboro.

That's been discussed around here.

And we won't even have to worry about a mall fight

In Baylor's case it should be more like the "Resuscitivalry" or some such.

Right, that was my idea, the Brawl at the Outlet Mall. It got recycled by several people.

And with that folks...we are officially back super lame again.

There was a time in our recent past where I would watch games with my Ohio State, Michigan and Bama friends are equals. Talks of what slot we may fall in the CFB playoffs and everyday refreshing Bowl Prediction articles to figure out where I'd be spending my birthday (Dec 28) and NYE depending on what major bowl we landed in.

We would show up to McLane drink beer, laugh and eat our body weight in ribs from Hobby's tailgate which was right up by the bridge. A short par 5 distance from the stadium. 3 Down and 26, no problem. We knew we would convert.

We went into other people's stadiums and were able to talk mad ***** And back it up. Our team had swagger, our school had momentum, we were no longer the whipping child. We kicked your asses and it was fun!

Now the school has killed the tailgating experiences, we play in uniforms that seemed to be donated by TJ Max, we buy billboards in our opponents cities welcoming them to the conference and offering to watch their children. We have a coach who is too nice and in over his head who wont recruit the type of player who wants to win and and totally dominate the opponent. And now we are playing in once a HEATED rivalry game that has now been reduced to a wild flower moniker.

Nice does not cut it. This does not cut it. And we are all upset because we know what our Baylor is capable of and what it can accomplish. I just wish we could go back to being amazing, cool, full of swagger again.

Jesus I am officially mad now.

A good friend wrapped it up perfectly..."Baylor, we just can't stand success."

Whatever stupid name they call it, JUST WIN BEARS!

I agree with everything you said besides the part where you knocked the new name of the rivalry. Kansas v Kstate is sunflower showdown

Traditions are like collector's items.

Things manufactured to be collector's items tend to end up being virtually worthless.

Isn't the original Holy War the Utah v BYU rivalry?

Revivalry has been around for years. I don't know why some people hate it so much but it's not going away.

Did we have any interesting football games this year? Maybe Utah and parts of UCF & Cincy. The rest were painful.

Yep.

"Manufactured" tradition and "newly created" tradition or "committee created" tradition.

Almost 99% of the time means lame

Utah was in our grasp. I truly wonder what would have transpired if we would have beat them.

How about the Goathead and Fire Ant Bowl?

And I thought the Revivalry was bad. This is horrible.

I didn't remember that you were the author of that idea, but I remember the discussion.

I wish we could look at the archives of the old site.

I hate the new rivalry name

Yeah, lots of gold in those threads lost forever. It was fun back then.

Pretty sure the student group thing just made it up.

Here's the story, with a picture of the trophy (yes, they had an official trophy made)

news.web.baylor.edu/news/story/2023/baylor-and-tcu-formalize-rivalry-bluebonnet-battle

That's awful

Revivalry is way cooler

Revivalry is also dumb to be honest. Plus why is Baylor being blamed for this official naming of the game?
