It's the old Baylor again if we have to pencil whip everything to try to make ourselves look and feel better.
Like clockwork, the ol' Caber response comes in to crap on Baylor.

Just go buy a new t-shirt already.

Football didn't begin in 2010 and end in 2015.




I really think the whole Caber "problem" is you guys immediately deflecting to caber accusations at any and all criticism.
That might hold water if it were anything but Cabers behaving that way.

Only a caber acts like Baylor had to football tradition before 2010.
Any at least marginally informed Baylor fan realizes that our football history prior to 2010 certainly wasn't all bad and had some successes and highlights along the way, but please inform me about when we ever had a 7 year period filled with anything even close to as much success, including a couple of championships, a Heisman winner, and 7 straight bowl games as we had from 2010 - 2016 (and the 2016 team for all intents and purposes was a depleted CAB team). And it could've and should've continued.
I looked. 2010-2016 we won 70% of our games and had two conference championships. Finished in the Top 20 nationally 4 of those years.

The next best 7-year period was 1950-1956 where we won 64.50% of our games, 3 top 20 finishes but no conference championships. An Orange Bowl loss and a Sugar Bowl win.

Pick about any 7 year period from 79-94 and you get a 60% winning percentage. 80-86 was probably the best because we had 3 top 20s and a conference championship. Expand the question to 8 years and 79-86 or 80-87 become pretty competitive.

From 1920-1926 we also won 60% + and two conference titles.

But yes-2010-2016 was the golden age of BU football.
Yeah, I'm sure the world is impressed with a 70 percent win percentage against the Woffords and Buffalos of the world while simultaneously losing to UCF and blowing a 20 point fourth quarter lead to MSU.

Meanwhile, Baylor used to play national title contenders in the out of conference schedule.

Ohio State, BYU, USC, Colorado just to name a few, all national title contenders when on the Baylor schedule in the 1970s, 1980s, and early 90s, and Baylor beat or took them to the wire one and all.

Football didn't begin and end in the half-decade you worship, don't think your ignorance of history makes you an authority.

Back when we were playing those higher profile OOC games we were also a member of the SWC which - let's face it - was by and large a crappy overall conference, especially compared to a conference like the Big 12. On balance, as Big 12 members, we've still played more high end programs even with scheduling a lot of OOC cupcakes.

You accuse fans you label as "Cabers" as hating Baylor now (which is wrong) and yet you express nothing but hate and total disdain for what is unquestionably the best and most successful period in our football history. You're one weird dude.
Revisionist history is a remarkable thing, but it's what you Cabers require to operate.

UT, A&M, UH, SMU, Arkansas and Baylor, and sometimes Texas Tech were all consistently competitive programs.

To me it is miserable to lose a bowl game...that becomes the last memory of the season during the long college football drought. If you win though, it puts a nice golden glow on a successful season..
