Let our season tickets go this year. Last years team didn't seem to be firing on all cylinders. Any realistic reason to pay attention this year other than being a diehard BU fan? Or do we start wearing bags over our heads la Cowboys and Jimmy Johnson's first season?
Lost interest after last season…

1979. Gave up my 4 season tickets and financial contributions in 2017 after 21 years after Matt Rhule's dive against the Mighty Liberty Flames. At our house. McLane was a winning atmosphere that our "leadership" suddenly turned into a kitty litter box. If I win the $1 Billion Powerball this week, I will love to tell the world why I only donated my alma mater ten bucks.
Call it a tax, the people are outraged! Call it a tariff, the people get out their checkbooks and wave their American flags!!!
Good on you.

I agree. He is not a Baylor fan. Real fans do not give up on their team.

I would donate a lot of money to the program but only if I got treated like Cody Campbell and they did what I told them.

The concept of "fandom" ended when players started demanding schools pay them six or seven figures. If the players are only going to care if they're being paid, I think it's more than fair that we as fans have expectations for getting something out of the investment. The rah rah "be true to your school" mindset is a thing of the past
Unconditional fandom in modern college sports is like falling in love with a stripper. Sorry, it's just the truth

Not asking you; I'm asking the OP. Would still like an answer.

I have been a Baylor fan since 1987 when I started law school there. I have seen many highs and lows in those 39 years. The Grant Teaff years were mostly good. We survived the Guy Morris and Kevin Steele years. Briles was great. did I agree with his firing, no. But I never quit supporting the program and the players and Baylor.
I remember many of the "experts" on this or the old forum telling us how bad Matt Ruhle was going to be. Despite the Liberty game, he turned out pretty good and many her complained when he left. I remember several of the same experts telling us we need to sign Aranda to an extension after the 2021 season.
I didn't give up on Baylor after the UNLV disaster in 1999 or the Liberty game. I did not quit on Baylor when we had to shut down our men's basketball program. And I won't quit on them now. I am willing to give the new AD a chance.
I want Baylor to be a winner as much as anyone. I just hate the constant negativity on the board. But it is what it is. It's the internet.
Sic 'em Bears!!!!

Baylor will never be a winning team if fans do not support them. Who would sign with Baylor out of high school or the transfer portal if half the stadium was empty every game. I want a winning team and am going to do my best to be there and loud. I sure hope that this year is the year we start turning it around. I hope Baylor fans are Baylor fans and do the same.
lmao Davey poo has NO ONE TO BLAME BUT HIMSELF at the state of BU Football. The dude is flip flopping every year on methods/strategies/identities/coaches/resource allocation/player evals/etc. He is just throwing shyte at the wall.

2016 when my children started going to BU. Attended every home game regardless of winning or losing season. Aranda is probably a great guy….but just not head coach material. This year we're considering a few select home games but it'll be a bit before we do season tickets again.
As someone who watched every game during the 1-11 season, I doubt that I'll even bother to watch a single game this season. Bringing back Aranda for another year was a catastrophically poor decision that removed any credibility from the program.
This is the least enthused I've felt about Baylor football in 45 years.
But, but, but concessions have Bear Claws this year.

So you made it thru the 1 win season in 2017 without giving up and the bad Covid shortened season with 2 wins and even the hugely disappointing 3 win season in 2023, but you're throwing in the towel after a 5 win season last year? I guess you haven't been a Baylor fan long enough to know that BU football is like a roller coaster, up & down, never knowing what's coming next. CDA is following that trend...Up with 12 wins then down with 6 & 3, then back up with 8 wins and down last year with 5. So this year BU football is due to be back up. We'll see; just seems like a strange time to bail on the team when you've lived thru much worse in your short time as a Baylor football follower.

It's almost as if facts and context mean nothing to you. Though the team lost big in most of those games from 2017, we watched knowing that there were likely better times ahead for Baylor football.
In 2026? This ain't that, my guy. Baylor athletics is grossly incompetent. Dave Aranda would have been fired by every other program in the country three years ago. What saved him was that absurd seven year extension with a buyout that no one would touch and untimely collapse of the AD's office at the end of last season.
We just watched Dave Aranda squander what was easily the most talented Baylor team since the conference champion team of 2021. Didn't even make a bowl game. Please enlighten us all as to how we're "due to be back up."
We're not due for anything except a four win season.

No one cares how long anyone here has been a Baylor fan. I love it when people try to brag about that crap like it somehow means their opinion matters more than yours.

At least we've made Lagway a very rich man. $6 million to rent him for just this year based on what one poster said. It would explain why our offensive line transfers have looked so bad; Dave blew all of his cash on Lagway

Time to open up your wallet and buy Dave better players. I'm sure he will re-create the 2021 season someday. He just needs more cash

I'm curious how much money you've donated to
dave to buy players. Surely you've donated a lot of money seeing as how you're the number one fan
I asked the OP how long he had been a fan so I could see just how much 'Baylor football' he endured before he decided to bail after a 5-7 season. What's dishonest about that?
Answer.........Not a damn thing. Again, try to keep up Clown.

That's gonna change.
So I'm not bailing on BU. I truly like school for all its faults. Both of my children went there as the first of my family to get a full on University 4 year degree. One of them is also a Baylor Law grad. There's a better than even chance my grandchildren will go to BU. But I can't see buying season tickets right now with Aranda at the helm. Love McLane and the whole experience and, as I said earlier, will likely stubhub tickets to a few games. But I'm not going to continue to fund what I'm seeing out if the football program. And there are some things I disagree with Livingstone about that aren't germane to this discussion that feed into that decision.
A Meh Football Program breeds meh fans. They made their bed.

CDA produced an 8 win season 2 years ago and missed out on his 4th bowl game in 5 years by 1 game last year. As a long time Baylor fan I can tell you making a bowl game pretty much defines a good season around here (BU has been to just 28 in the 90 years they've been a thing). Seems like a weird time to pull back with an exciting new QB taking over, a new DC to shore up the defense, and the team not far off from having another exciting season. Roller coaster like I said before. You're either a fan or you're not, you can't just support the team when they're winning big. That's all.
