Funny that he said these final ratings were based on "favorababilty" if these teams met on a neutral field...then he has BU 2 spots ahead of LSU.

Either way, 2nd half Bears showed enormous promise.

I really miss Big Boy Football at Baylor.
Bitcoin, $Trumpcoin, or $Fartcoin? That is the question.

BU only had "Big Boy Football" for 5 out of about 125 years. It was just a blip on the radar, shouldn't be that hard to get over.
I don't feel tardy

If we were, we'd be able to fill McLane (with our own fans) the way it was during its first 3 to 4 years. I mean, without Wendy's type giveaways.

Not sure we would fill anymore. Things are more expensive, it is easier to just watch at home because of streaming, and frankly there is some apathy growing toward sports that decreases its popularity. There is just so much more competition for a person's time and money. Plus the novelty of winning had not been experienced by Baylor fans in such a long time. Some feel, been there, done that. Something that a lot of people won't understand, but it is still there.

There have been "2010-2015" moments since 2019 but they are few and far between. In "those days" the entire off season was full of anticipation and I couldn't wait for the first game. Kinda force myself to reconnect from season to season nowadays.

We finished number one in my power ranking. Does that make you feel better?

Where I'm at right now is that we have decent talent, and Aranda seems to make good moves on paper in the off-season, but I do think our program has a certain ceiling with him as a head coach. I think if we could come out and beat Auburn and SMU to start this next season, it would create real momentum that we haven't seen in a while

NIL doesn't help the whole momentum thing though. Every off-season, most teams are having to reconstruct entire position groups through the portal

That's what I was hoping that beating LSU would help do.

Same. I'm honestly not trying to rag on the win streak from this last season, because it was obviously nice to see. But as I said in a different post, our best win was against TCU and then against Texas Tech who proceeded to lose to a depleted Arkansas that finished like 11th in the SEC. The other teams we beat on our schedule were so far down in the dumps that they were next to dinosaur bones. That doesn't inspire confidence. But in all seriousness, I want to see us beat a legit top 20 type team

You raise some good points. The problem with them is that they don't exist at big boy football schools.

Need more burning car gifs next year. Have to win games to see them properly, though.

Most, if not all of your big boy football schools have big boy alumni bases which can compensate for most of the things I said.
