Do you think BU football will ever get it back? Is that allowed by ESPN and the BOR?
I am no Briles apologist. I just miss those days of knowing we could hang with pretty much anyone.

I think CMR and his guys have plenty of swagger...did you watch any of the guys who represented us at Big 12 media days? We also showed a lot of swagger in the bowl win over the SEC last year.

Swagger is a state of mind not tied to a coach or style...I loved CAB but I have been a BU football fan for 55 years and have seen several teams at times show the swagger. No one dictates our Swagger!

I think you'll see a lot of it this year.

We started seeing it last year. I think Rhule started to let the kids let loose with swagger after the former Board Chair's racist comments about the program back in 15/16 were made public.

We started to get our swagger back when Matt Rhule got an unsportsmanlike conduct flag thrown on him during the Oklahoma State game last year. We went on to win that game 35-31.

Just my opinion

I haven't seen much on the field to be optimistic about (except Brewer)

Swagger comes with success..dominating on the field. Haven't seen that yet.

Brides had swagger. RG3 had it. The real stuff. The problem was that he allowed the garbage stuff. The personal foul taunting swagger that was shameful.

I didn't see a bunch of other guys with the real stuff. I think we'll see more of the real stuff in these kids this year.

I want to see the taunting at mid field and bench clearing brawls. Thug life.

That's a real shame. You're missing out on James Lynch, Trestan Ebner, Ty Thornton, Denzel Mims, Connor Galvin, and plenty of others. Hopefully they can do something on the field to excite you and your lofty standards this year.

No, we are not an institution of football. Have you guys cried out to God recently? Whatever chance we had was blown to bits a few years ago.

Good lord are some of you gonna wallow in the Art Briles pity party forever. You can fold your arms, blink your eyes twice and he still ain't coming back. Jimbo's looking for some bandwagon supporters and he's promised they'll have swagger so maybe there's an opportunity there.

I guess the definition of swagger is important...and I am not sure we all share the same definition.

If I had dollar for how many times that quote was misquoted and severely taken out of context on this board I'd be pretty wealthy.

I guess you missed how much "swagger" the players have now. It's nice to see again.

You need to to go to another football board. Like maybe TCU?

You are correct that brides had swagger!

Miami U had swag. They could show up and beat a team every way.

We had undisciplined Caber dancing and prancing. All O with subpar D, no discipline, no special teams and the ability look classless with the "Mall Fight" and TCU neutering our offensive coaches in the rain.

There's a big difference between dancing and prancing and swag.

We don't need no Mall Fights and a coach that looks like he spent a night raping and pillaging with Wild Turkey and other low class fellows at the homeless tent city.

I love the attitude of our guys. This program is in a good place and trending up. Some of our fans have made up their minds and will not be happy.

I do too and swag hasn't won anything on a football field or any other athletic event at Baylor.

Swag comes in different forms. It doesn't have to be in your face cocky.

Another Jim Ward sock, let's see if he locks himself out of this one.

A large portion of our fan base is extremely uncomfortable with swagger.

Being thought of as nice guys out weighs winning with cocky swag at Baylor, even if we're playing within the rules.

It really is sad to see so many Baylor alumni and supporters take for granted how good we really have it here. What we went through would have destroyed so many other programs - It probably would have killed ours had it happened in 2006 and not 2016. The administration made athletic success a priority. They didn't do a 180 when they fired Art.

Differing opinions about the current football staff are fair game. Offering bullsht like the administration not caring about football is not.

Very fine lines between swagger and classlessness and no discipline.
