Baylor moves to 12-0 all-time versus Kansas in Waco.

As Tupac once said "some things will never change"

Sic 'em Bears!

What a win today! The most impressed I've personally been all year with the Bears!
Side note what's this team have to do to get some damn support? Stadium looks half full


Win this game like they did. Half were still one foot out. The damage over the last few years was huge. 8 and recruiting/nil momentum should do it I think. Dave will be given a chance by all now.


Last few years = 2?

All that means is we have a horrible fan base if it takes 2 seasons (one had a bowl appearance) for the program to have no support.

in fairness, the administration and the BOR has fractured this fan base. We were given the pistol and told to "do the honorable thing". The trust is not there. We need a long term, stabilizing presence. Still not 100% sold on Dave, but I think he has earned our full support. I know these players have.

That was a dismantling! Neal got his but we made sure he wasn't the one to beat us. Smart playcalling on both sides and the players all played with a huge energy. Great win!!!! Sic 'Em!!!!

They are going to need to bulk him up a bit.

We definitely had a coaching advantage. Kansas switched to not lining up in order to avoid revealing the play call. AND we did it without 3 defensive starters.

Why were Randolf, Linton and Williams IV out?

I could see the first two having a chance, but not Cougars over BYU.

It is super unlikely… But what a tasty rematch that would be to get Colorado again in the big 12 title game

I think this is the first team that he believes is his. 2020 had a lot of Rhule's players and many on here gave Rhule credit for the B12 Championship and sugar bowl. Last 2 Grimes made alot of offensive decisions. This team he seems much more comfortable when the than past teams. Just an observation. May be off base, but I think what we are seeing is Aranda football as he visions it, not a guru OC or past coach.

Right now Pitt would be tied in the B12 standings with UCF, Utah, Arizona and ahead of OSU with their 2 B12 wins over Cincy and WVU.

One thing is certain in the Houston @ BYU game: the Cougars will win!

Massive "if" with all of this, but if Baylor manages to get into the Big12 championship game, and wins that one plus a bowl game, this is a 10 win squad.

Surely not. Even Grobe had a 6-0 team.

2013 we started out 9-0

Yeah, he deleted it. Probably a stats goof as I was like "I remember more than that even with Grobe."

The thing I heard was it the first time to end the season with 6 wins. And that should be placed in context. Historically our toughest stretch of games came in November. This year they were more at the beginning.

Welp….Arizona State seems to be screwing up this 4 leg parlay we all needed.
