Home and home? What the hell Ian?? Er Rhoades??

Seriously you play teams like this at home. What happened to the non conf enhancements?

This topic is a little complicated. On one hand, Baylor needs to satisfy the at least 1 P5 per season rule, while, on the other hand, due to the nature of the Big 12's recruiting footprint, Baylor needs to play against teams near major recruiting areas throughout Texas for exposure to potential recruits. So, here, it's fine for Baylor to play a home and home with a G5 in the Dallas metroplex as long as Baylor scheduling this team would not prevent Baylor from playing a P5 that same season.

An SEC program wouldn't do this, but, at the same time, the SEC has 7 of the top 10 recruiting states in its footprint*, so it's not as if the SEC's and the Big 12's positions on this issue are similar.

Baylor plays 9 P5 games in conf compared to SEC's 8. That leaves 4 games each year for the SEC to play pansies. They might play 1 P5 non conf game giving them maybe 9. Some posters want Baylor to play 10 or 11 P5 games, which is crazy.

Are you talking about 2017 or 2018?

Either

Clowns gonna clown.

North Texas, a four-loss Conference USA team that beat UTEP, Old Dominion and UTSA by three and got blown out by a coachless Utah State team in its bowl game, would not have beaten us last season. But given that you predicted two wins ... and then three ... and then four ... and then five ... and then six ... for us last season, I'm not surprised in the least that you would think otherwise. You are, after all, pretty much always wrong.

What about 2017

Y'all gonna be really mad when UNT comes in and stomps Baylor in both venues. Good luck, losers.

No, we remember exactly. Which is why our punters are now trained assassins.

It should be a fun game!

I don't remember all the outrage about playing a non-P5 team at home when we played Rice a few years ago.

---

It's not about playing cupcakes, it's more of having to travel to a non P5 game.

Baylor is supposed to play at least 10 (9 conference games plus 1 OOC P5), and that is a by-product of the Big 12 only having 10 teams.

As for the Rice, UNT, and SMU games, that's fine as Baylor needs the exposure in the Dallas and Houston metroplexes.

But we played Rice in Houston a few years ago. The famous "Refrain from Shooting Lasers Onto the Field" game.

They lost to a coachless Utah State team 52-13 in their bowl game so let's calm down a bit.

Don't worry! Y'all wont even be considered P5 ones the real teams leave the Big 12 and the conference leftovers scramble.

I think G5 teams are real. Don't sell yourself so short especially after that fun win in Fayetteville.

BU will most certainly not be in the Big12 in a decade. This very well may be a conference game when this one rolls around.

But, you're welcome for the invitation.

#GMG

Uh, I will. My son attends UNT.

Yes, that was bad but their QB was out the whole game hurt except for the first play. UNT has made some good progress this year. Of course who can predict that many years away what will happen

2017 yes. 2018 no.

Yeah I wasn't impressed with GMG's comment either.

We will destroy UNT.

Don't we need exposure in San Antonio? We could change our series with Incarnate Word to home-and-home. Their stadium was recently upgraded to hold 6,000 fans.

We might even break their attendance record -- 6,498 for their 2016 game against Houston Baptist.

That's funny.

Baylor does need exposure in San Antonio - hence why it played UTSA at UTSA in 2018.

I seem to remember there was a good sized crowd at the Alamo Dome including a sizable Baylor contingent (I certainly did my part!).

I also thought it interesting the Baylor had three indoor games in 2018. It was good for the players to experience that and I hope it becomes a regular occurrence--especially in post season.

Lolol yes, so nice and hot!

How about getting that kind of exposure in Abilene? We could also go home-and-home with Abilene Christian.

Which week in 2018? We were horrible for a while but would've won easily at the end.

As for this series, 1 for 1 with them is a complete joke. The competition level likely won't be much more than an FCS team and we can get them to come here without a return date. If we can't afford to pay them to come we may have other issues that caused this scheduling...
