Just an observation:

The ENMU Greyhounds play their home games 100 miles from where the Texas Tech plays its home games.

Something that opens an obvious farm system for the Red Raiders.

Combined with their newfound NIL wealth, they really are set up to dominate the conference going forward.

Art Briles’ contract details at Eastern New Mexico were released today.

He’ll make $140K per year for 3 seasons with a $2 million buyout, plus a $100K bonus for winning the D2 national title, per Sportico.

Given Briles’ experience, ENMU landed him at a major bargain. pic.twitter.com/ITd43FQona

FYI, I sent Coach Briles a short letter congratulating him on his new job and I received the nicest hand written thank you note in return. He seems really happy to be coaching again.

Their first game is August 27, against New Mexico Highlands University in Las Vegas, NM and my wife and I will definitely be in the crowd cheering for ENMU. It's only an hour's drive from Santa Fe. Highlands has a pretty little campus with a neat old stadium and Las Vegas is a fun town with a historic downtown. It would be cool if quite a few Baylor fans who support Coach Briles made the game.

Their second game is a home game against Colorado Mesa. I hope some of the West Texas Baylor fans who support Coach Briles can make that one.

It's so fun to watch the frustration in the body language of the OU players and the sideline anger of the OU coaches. They knew that they were toast.

And yes, the championships won by the Bears during Briles' tenure included having UT and OU as competitors.

Try as they can, the Briles detractors cannot take away his joy at coaching again. For him, I believe it feels a bit like coaching back in high school. None of his opposition has any money...ENMU sure doesn't. It's who can find the diamonds in the rough, coach them and give them a system.

It might not happen this year (but I wouldn't be surprised to see the Greyhounds be successful really quick), but by next year none of his opponents will look forward to playing them.

Good write-up. I don't know about you but Baylor still pisses me off the way they treated him.

One of the greatest things about CAB's return to college coaching is that now we're going to see the silliness of claims that had he remained at BU his offense would have been defeated because defensive minds would figure it out once and for all.

---

CAB got Mack Brown, Charlie Strong and Bob Stoops on the hot seat or fired in my opinion for whooping their arse consistently. Maybe when this current regime gets tossed out the school will make amends and build that man a statue next to RG3.

There's absolutely zero chance that is false.

...all except the statue bit. That isn't happening in our lifetime.

Art still pisses me off the way he treated Baylor. He tarred and feathered us before he was stopped from literally driving a stake in our heart. It did not have to go down that way. He feathered his nest and then pooped in it. The AD & Prez let him do it. They are the primary enablers to blame. They were afraid of exhibiting some much needed tough love. Perhaps they got high on their own supply?

We should all pick a game and show up for it.

"Perhaps"?

The "Prez" refused to establish a Title IX office because he was politically opposed to the concept. He allowed his personal beliefs to control his actions as president. He had a duty to Baylor to comply with the law, even if he opposed it. He could have (1) complied and then (2) convinced the board/regents to file suit and use whatever political stroke they had, to get the law changed. Instead, he just ignored the law. Had Baylor had a fully functioning Title IX office AND proper training for all department heads, professors, coaches, administrators, etc. Baylor would not have become the poster child for stupidity. Remember, that the problem was UNIVERSITY WIDE. Art Briles was/is smart enough to do what he's told and he would have followed the rules. The AD was a wimp, and he also would have followed the rules. The problem was.....there WERE NO RULES! The blame falls 100% on the "Prez" and the folks in control....who also didn't like the concept of Title IX, and let their political leanings interfere with their fiduciary duty to Baylor. If Baylor had laid down "the law" as they should have, the university wide problem would never have existed in the first place. Failure of leadership in the highest degree.
