Women were sexually assaulted. I can't forgive a coach for allowing it to happen or ignoring it or turning a blind eye to it. So, no Briles please. We were called rapists at every turn. Don't bring that back that shame.
I was kinda hoping we could get Mickey Mouse to emcee. I am sure Mickey will be busy that day. Hopefully Ron Murff, Jay Jeffrey, and Jeff Reeter will be honored former player speakers.BaylorBearGuy said:
Does anyone know if Briles will be joining in the celebration festivities at the TCU game when Baylor honors the 2013 and 2014 teams?

I assure you no current Baylor students will be chanting this.

The "lives that were destroyed" were these sexual assault victims. I could care less that Briles, Starr, and Ian lives were destroyed. The victims are first and foremost in my understanding. The BOR was protecting these victims lives by not bringing their assault to the forefront. They deserve privacy and respect. So keep Briles away and his son Kendell.drahthaar said:Waco1947 said:there is no excusing sexual assault.ABC BEAR said:Your bilge pump is working well today.Waco1947 said:

Agreed.
With that settled, Baylor University should have owned the mess outright and not allowed lives to be destroyed because of it. That's lives on both sides of that egregious issue. As Thee pointed out, had the university done its job responsibly, all this could have been prevented. So if a group wants to chant "CAB", it'll have no impact on BU and the press will mention it and then it will fade into the dead issue it is, no one having learned the vital issues they should have learned.
There were a lot more lives wrecked than merely the assault victims. That's not to denigrate them: I had a daughter assaulted at BU (who did nothing) so don't even begin to lecture me about that situation.Waco1947 said:The "lives that were destroyed" were these sexual assault victims.

You left out the part where Briles dawg-drilled Baylor. Actually it was Ian, Ken & Art who served us that sandwich. They all high tailed it out of Waco.PacificBear said:

They fear it will be viewed as Baylor condoning that culture, BU will not do that. They are scared to death of another scandal.ImABearToo said:
Him attending would put the media in a tizzy. The OU game he was at last year, invited by his son in law, caused some fireworks. Might allow for some healing to have Art walk out with his teams, at the very least put that era to rest on a positive note.

Same.. he attended the Rice game in 2016 to watch/support his players and coaches, along with "Baylor nation" as he put it.

That's exactly what they did and they ruined a man's life in the process.
He did nothing wrong? No counter suit? Did he sue for defamation or slander? As you said, he can't get a job. Pretty much destroyed his career worth more than 18M. What was the outcome of Briles rebuttal and countersuits? I live in FL, so it was not really covered here like in Texas.Golden Helmet said:

Lawyers made it go away.
Press and PR made Briles radioactive…not employable.

Reality is... it's really all a moot point. Baylor will NEVER see any football success in the future except an occasional run for a conference championship. Probably alumni generation in between. Face it, Baylor has rarely done anything right. Baylor has ALWAYS been reactive instead of proactive... operating on the cheap. Best thread example is the lack of a Title IX person at a time when needed. Now, with the two big conferences, relevancy will be a struggle of any variety for Baylor. History is history, period... Baylor is and always will be Baylor. Potential future football coaches will be potential feeder candidates for better jobs. That in itself doesn't paint a great picture for what most consider potential for consistent success. One comes, has a form of success, an off they go... Baylor back to square one.Thee University said:3,075 days and in reality you guys are STILL fvking yourselves and each other. You must like it. Are you over a barrel? A cedar log?
