I am so DONE with the horse$#!+ that this administration comes up with! I'm a 5th Generation Texan, but Bluebonnet Battle sounds like the most p^ssified thing I have ever heard for an alleged rivalry.MrGolfguy said:

The trophy is even worse than the name. https://t.co/nF2FLyIG1C

This is a game that means absolutely nothing. Read the room people. This is tcu playing so their game @OU eliminates them from bowl eligibility instead of this weekend doing it, and we were eliminated week 1.
The game is so irrelevant it's not even on TV.
It's more dead than the real bluebonnets from Spring.

It looks like a children's Sunday School class painted it, which I guess is fitting.

It looks like the crap they sell at Buckys or something that you would see on the clearance aisle at HomeGoods. however, Baylor supposedly suggested rolling with the "revivalry" name, and TCU hated it
We're back to:
"I'm a Baylor Bear man,
I'm a Baylor Bear.
I'm a Baylor Bear man,
I'm a Baylor Bear…"
If you remember the song, you know how far things have regressed.

The trophy is a cheap napkin holder?

It referenced the middle word in their name that must not be acknowledged.
Rhoades equated the game to “playing against your brother of sister.” Says the two schools are “like family.”

I think the fanbases would disagree.
Why does it look like there is a piece missing in the middle? The cutout of Texas looks like the back of a license plate with two holes punched to hang it on the wall.
This work of marketing genius ranks just below the Bud Light stunt earlier in the year.

The dots where the schools are located?
They should've been stars as you're right, it looks like damage.
At least we get a picture of it on campus so we can see it in Waco. It won't be back this year.
Is Baylor really stupid enough to start this Bluebonnet Battle BS literally days before we get our asses kicked by TCU?!?!

Tells me that Rhoades knows jack squat about TCU. They hate everything about us, they don't care about their "Christian mission" as Baylor would call it (most of their fanbase wants to change the school name), and they really don't care about personoverplayer. Anyone remember when like half of TCU's football team was caught in a drug ring? They never went on an apology tour over that like we're currently doing

That trophy is one of the worst in college football
My Gosh
Someone said it looks like the kind of thing they sell at Canton trade days
Given the two teams have played since the 19th century and no name has emerged, I think we'll just call it "Baylor-TCU" and go with that. Celebrate that it is one of the most played rivalries in college football history. I believe it was #1 when the SWC ended.

I 35 divide sounds like an H-E-B ice cream flavor
Just call it "Clash on the Corridor".
Just find something that relates to a frog and a bear and go from there
We burned down TCU so they'd leave Waco.
We killed an aggy at a game after they started a fight.
I'm not sure why anyone wants to be our rival tbh.
Although now we'll just let them score so they'll feel better about themselves. Man, we've changed.

The truth is, if you scanned a path of land say about 20 miles wide between Waco and Ft Worth, you'd find a whole lot more Johnson grass and cockelburs than Bluebonnets

This was definitely stolen out of the local Baptist church trophy case. Some RAs are going to be crushed. Maybe the GAs can paint them a new one.
You are a lot nicer than me. I would have told the Michigan guy to not speak unless spoken to. Michigan blew ass during most of the Briles years.LVBLACKBEAR said:
There was a time in our recent past where I would watch games with my Ohio State, Michigan and Bama friends are equals.
We would have waffled stomped them in 2011, probably 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015.
Please tell me that plaque isn't real.

Why don't we give it its traditional name, the Baylor-TCU game?

We could play it at the outlet mall in Hillsboro.
That's been discussed around here.
LOL that's hilarious! I grew up in neighboring Whitney so am very familiar with the outlet mall
The trophy was likely purchased at the one mom and pop gift shop left in in Hillsboro Outlet Mall.

I honestly do not care what they call this game. I'm more concerned that we are stuck with a loser coach for at least one and maybe two more years. Plus, we have our university president making cringe worthy videos on social media that appeal to nobody. At least we have a final four caliber hoops team but the powers that be wanna kick out our own fans for creating a home field advantage.
Here's an appropriate hype video:
From the front the trophy looks like it has a wooden base with a black basketball that was painted at an arts and crafts store. We sourced it from Michael's. This is what happens when you let Generation Safespace make decisions.
Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?
I guess its fitting that they picked the lowest point in ages for both programs.

You're onto something here with a middle distance thing, but the Outlet Mall is old news.Dia del DougO said:Right, that was my idea, the Brawl at the Outlet Mall. It got recycled by several people.SMack said:

I say make there be a Kolache or Czech stop related prize for the winner. Loser has to buy for both teams and eat a Kolache that is themed for the other school. The "trophy" can be the empty box that they hang onto until next year.
You can still call it Revivalry or Bluebonnet bulls4+!, but winner gets Kolache bragging rights.
