This isn't a question?
Whatever dude
you should go by win % since we play more games now.MrGolfguy said:
tied for 12th best in program history (based on # of wins). In other words, BU football has had 11 seasons of 9 or more wins. If the Bears win their bowl game and get win #9, then their 9-4 season would be tied 8th best ever.
Wrong. There was one year in particular that the calls for termination were brutal even by Baylor standards. I was on that team.PartyBear said:
And so…? You were going back even further in history when we played 10 games. I would add no one was visciousky attacking Teaff and calling for Teaff to be fired during those seasons either.

You sound rational and objective. I don't understand how you, specifically, always end up on Message Board Geniuses. It's not like you're a dummy. You know words. You have the best words. Everyone on this site has tremendous respect for you and your very very large, uh, brain.RD2WINAGNBEAR86 said:
Mired in mediocrity. That's the sweet spot that Baylor leadership wants to be and we are there. Winning season. Chicken s h I t bowl game. Goody....... Goody!!!!! Rinse and repeat for the next decade.
We are Baylor.
I would imagine that had any of those seasons required a season-closing six-game winning streak to achieve and/or followed a dismal three-win campaign, Teaff (or any other coach) would have caught heat, too. And deservedly so.PartyBear said:
Thee I meant during the seasons I mentioned where we won 8 games or more in the regular season. I also doubt Teaff was personally attacked for his appearance and personality as part of any calls for his firing in 77 or 78 like they were coming from 5th graders as we all had to endure on this board regarding Aranda over the from 2023 until a month ago.

Keep riding Briles' dick, buddy, you're on the right side of history with this one. I, too, miss the days when we had an athletic director, university president, and head football coach working in unison to bury sexual assault allegations, evade drug tests, and keep players eligible even if it meant bullying professors into changing grades.
It's all about the kids, right? And giving them second chances. Some may even need third, fourth, or even fifth chances, but who are we to judge? That's God's job. We just want winning football.
Sadly, those days are gone. No more backroom deals with Ken Starr, kind of like the one he negotiated to keep this tremendously wonderful p3d0phile from serving time in prison, despite admitting to horrific crimes. I can't remember that man's name, but he was prominent in the Palm Beach community and was quoted on tape as saying, "Donald Trump was my best friend for 10 years."
We are Baylor.

Aranda deserves a ton of credit for leading a truly remarkable -- and frankly, unlikely -- turnaround. This season is a success by any reasonable standard. And while the last six games should change our perspective about the future -- all Baylor fans should be excited IMO -- they shouldn't be used to rewrite history. And the fact of matter is our performance from November 2022 through the Iowa State game this season was unacceptable for a program with any sort of standards at all.
Fortunately, those days appear to be behind us and we can all unite around this team and staff going forward. But 2-13 in conference can't be whitewashed or dismissed. That was a long stretch of terrible football.
