Dang, wide open receivers, way late decision to throw.

It would be refreshing if Aranda were fired immediately after the game.

If KSU gets a stop here it's ballgame. Shoot if they hold us to a field goal it's likely ballgame as well.


How about if we also lose 21 yards in the process?

That possession was not good for Sawyer. Bad pass when he had plenty of time and then he could've easily rolled out there but stayed in a crowded pocket.

Aranda should show his class & integrity by resigning. He has to be doubting himself and for the sake of Baylor University, he needs to do the right thing.


He's got about 15 million reasons not to do that. But then again Dave has done a lot of heading scratching things.

I can't believe that the worst football team Kansas State has put on the field in years is taking control of this game.

I made the same comment earlier, but it all comes down to what the big money folks want to do. I have a hunch that they are not too interested in bailing Mack out of his mistake of giving Dave the massive contract after winning big with another guy's players

Mack is toxic to the guys that funded Baylor FB for decades.

they HATE him.

I'm no Aranda fan but I know a few who strongly support Mac.

Scheme on the 2nd down play was very poor also, nobody underneath.

Any thoughts on over/under for number of plays before it's 31-17?

If we lose this game, our season is effectively over in the sense that I won't be interested in watching anymore. If you think the stands look empty now…..


100% agree. Feels like a lifeless program.

This next possession is ballgame. Weve come out completely flat and disorganized.

Your words…… "a few".
Having most the committed BMDs like the AD should be a given.

I think I predicted a loss by two touchdowns. I just don't know what it is, but Dave doesn't coach well against Klieman in particular. in our two losses out of the four times we played them, they have spanked us bad

Same. We need a total reboot. Stands are gonna be empty here with a quarter to go.

KSU is not a great team and they are whipping our ass in our own backyard.

I agreed with you. There's no hedging. This was a must-win game, and we shat down our leg ... again.

This is not a good K-State team. We had chances to take control in the first half and pissed each and every one of them away. We always piss those chances away.
