That was the perfect ending to this **** sandwich of a season.

The only thing that would have been more fitting is if Weigman would have finished off the 70-yard touchdown run.

And that's too bad. Next year may be the worst year since 2017 and may rival Kevin Steele.

Only UCLA can save us .

But it looks like they're zeroing in on James Madison coach.

Think I'll go YouTube the Baylor UCLA bowl game from when we had a real head coach.
Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?

Fritz in year 2 has already blown past Aranda in year 6.

Please let there be a surprise Aranda firing on Dec 1.


But some folks still think Dave is the second coming of Bear Bryant. I don't get it.

Can't cobble together 6 wins against teams that just aren't any good. 2023 and 2025 have been fire able.

Keep in mind Smu and K state were extremely lucky.

We deserved and earned that L...but damn the refs were sht today. That looked like clear PI on back to back throws in the end zone.

Penalties

UH 2/24
BU 8/90

But Aranda did not bark at the refs one single time. Thank you sir… may I have another.

Now watch the attrition before signing day from this "great recruiting class" which was one of the lame reasons Livingston gave for keeping CDA. It was reported yesterday that we have a 4 star "commit" that has visited UT twice in recent days and we found out today about another top "commit" that has visited Michigan twice recently.

My ten things if I can think of ten things:


This Baylor team never quit. I'll give them that.

Prayers for Knighten. I think he'll be good.

Having Trigg healthy sure could have helped.

T-Rex caught on TV sitting during the game, now there's a poster for the current state of BU football.

24-9 Cougs in the fourth quarter...it's over, right?

Dodds with some straight ahead POWER! Looking forward to seeing more of that battering ram stuff in the future.

Thee slices of PI left on the post-Thanksgiving pie plate by refs in the late 4th quarter, could have really changed things.

Questionable game management and Arandalytics on full display for both sides.

Nobody died, except Baylor bowl hopes.

Hate it for these Baylor players. Overcoming key injuries. Got sooo close. They deserved more for their efforts.

Lets run it back in 2026?

Once again just like every week before...so close yet so far away.

This team and coaches consistently fail in bringing your best when the best is required.

I think we can all agree that 2021 will likely forever remain the high water mark for Baylor sports. We got a MBB natty, looked like a football team on the ascendancy and were poised to do great things in the post OUT big12. . Sadly Mack and Linda completely missed the boat with regard to the importance of having a comprehensive NIL strategy, so here we are.

They were betting on 2 out of 3, got zero out of three.

Ironic how the dire money situation is part of the result of admin making us "not an institution of football". Doesn't take a rocket surgeon to understand that money flows when football is good and when there is a clear commitment to good, competitive football.

That is my interpretation. The quote from her letter is below.

Quote:
Financial stewardship: In an era of extreme volatility in college athletics with NIL, the transfer portal, revenue-sharing, and much more, this approach allows us to invest wisely in the program's future rather than incur significant buyout costs during an unprecedented turnover of coaches across the country.


The entire letter is in post #1 of this thread.

https://sicem365.com/forums/2/topics/156386

It has been stated on threads here the buyout drops on Dec. 1st, so I guess that could be some reason for hope but not much after the letter was released.

Any money issues are almost entirely related to an ill-fated contract extension with an inescapable buyout.

We had the money to take care of both Aranda and Drew when others came calling. But donors don't want to pay twice for an athletic department's errors in judgment.

I just got back home but not going to bother watching the recorded game. The refs calling a one sided game and missing key calls isn't healthy for me. Typical for a lot of our games unfortunately.

Looks like we are in for more of it next year until the new AD finally fires Dave

It's bad for sure but at least we compete. No comparison to the Steele years
