Doesn't suck for Aranda. He will be a very rich man the rest of his life if he has a decent money manager. He will eventually (only at Baylor will we ask how long??) be dismissed from a HC position and he will be thrilled to move away from the pressure.

He will make many millions as a DC after Baylor (see Kevin Steele).

How many of us can post that on our resume?

Check out the stands here. It's not like we are getting blown out. We are winning the game at this point.




Sad, people won't pay $2 for this garbage.

Two EASY missed field goals.

Kick his ass off the team.

He's just helping maintain our tradition of having crap for kickers through the years.

The way we lost is a perfect picture of the season.
1) Grimes calls a play that loses 8 yards on first down when we only needed 1 first down to end game.
2) kicker misses a chip shot
3) Defense gives up long drive with no resistance
All of the blame goes to your #1. Keep your foot on the gas, get another first down, and we win. I don't blame the kicker at all.

Seems like 80% of the preseason predictions here on 365 last summer said we would win 9 or 10 games because of our 8 home games.

We end up winning 1 of the 8 and it was against a FCS school.

That alone is grounds for terminating the entire staff.

Reminded me of Rhule putting smith out there for the Hail Mary in 2017 vs OU.

No fans because of three consecutive seasons of absolutely inexcusable dog sh it performance.

Aranda was smiling with a minute to go, probably thinking game was in the bag

Reese 7 yard per carry. Richardson 2.5.

Where are the apologists? Better is better. You start looking at a couple close games and it hits you. There's talent on our bench.

Person over player.

The players who enter better be darned sure they're a clear improvement over whatever other large p4 high paying schools have. One in hand worth 2 in the bush re the portal. Who do we have that's such a clear stud as to surrender their scholarship and nil deal at BU and roll the dice? Not many.

I admit I like Martinez. He broke Mayfield's and Kylar Murray's UlL records. Dude had potential.

But cold off the line like that I don't think it was smart.

The game was in the bag.

Go fight for that TD or at least get a 1st down and the game is over.

That lollygagging around for an 8 yard loss was ridiculous. You could tell by the body language of the players in that series that they were just setting up a FG the entire time.

**** Grimes and his dumb ass. He needs to get fired immediately and pay back this years salary for being a dip *****

For those that took WV - 8.5, it just shows there is no such thing in sports betting as "easy money".

While I'll disagree that nothing this season has been "in the bag" with this team.....

THIS assessment is exactly correct. With a season like the Bears have had....you go for the 1st down or TD on that 3rd and 11. Hell, the ball was already inside the 20 and well inside any average kicker's range.

Playing for the field goal was the MOST Baylor-2023 and Aranda/Grimes move of the year. A true end cap to a horrible season led by truly bad coaches.

Entire staff needs to be gutted. Aranda and Rhoades have lost 75% of the fans. Truly sad era in Baylor Football.

Seriously….can you name me ONE Power 5 program that would keep this staff after the past 19 games.

Vanderbilt? Northwestern? Cal?

I can somewhat see how they might but they DO NOT need football to be at least decent.

Sadly, in this horribly messed up world in which we live, little old Baylor needs football to at least be decent.

We aren't Vanderbilt, Northwestern or Cal. Compare the endowments.

Sawyer should have punched Grimes in the face when he told him the plan. Dave is a loser for letting that happen.

I'm not sure what Aranda thinks about during the games when he's silent but for the occasional clap. He definitely isn't thinking about football

Truth. The Baylor Kollege of Knowledge has been promoting itself as an Ivy League, Harvard of The South type school for decades. Academics are getting better, but we aren't there. We need the front porch draw of football for applications and the P5 cash for the coffers.

Sounds like Mark Stoops to aggy. Traylor's still on the table. Redemption time Mack.

Fun fact. Whenever FS1 showed Richard Reese's head shot during the game it was actually a linebacker from Wisconsin. Wrong picture.
