"Holding: Offense No. 69"

I'm getting really tired of hearing these words.

He should probably play more.

So Aranda can't figure out how to teach our defense all his wisdom. Maybe it's his dynamic coaching style but clearly the Baylor administration loves mediocre football. Maybe we can force a change by talking up Aranda's awesomeness so maybe one of the many schools seeking a new coach. Baylor fans have to step up and sell, sell, sell.

We say it every freaking game, but Dave Aranda's teams are allergic to momentum.

Every damn game is the same, regardless of opponent. It's maddening.

Both actually . But Wiliams was similar-sized and had over 1k one year. Ganaway was a beast in the Alamo bowl.

They'll get nine yards on first down. It's clockwork.

California Dave loved by Arizona Mack loved by (wish I was California) Linda loved by Non-Texan BOR.

Football success not part of the formula.

We don't create turnovers ... unless we're playing Samford.

Win the toss, defer, give up a TD on the opening drive and end of the half, don't score to start the second half. That blew up perfectly.

Tbf, those were probably even more infuriating defenses 90% of the time. But you never had a doubt the O could win the game or the D came up with a turnover.

This D can't buy a turnover

We're going to give up a score here and be playing catch-up the rest of the game. The Dave Aranda way.
