Can we please dispense with the Powledge needs to go but Dave can stay, we can't hire a new AD and new head coach at the same time, there isn't enough time for a new AD to evaluate Dave kind of talk? Dave needs to go!

I had a real problem with this. To keep players, you have to develop them. White has t had a snap all year.

It has always been a ludicrous proposal.

I think Dave thinks that Sawyer might still have a shot at the Heisman. Maybe he's just trying to pad his stats.

This regime never seems to have valued getting meaningful reps to reserve qbs. Only a sparse few against a couple of way lower level programs. I always thought you should get the backups experience when it is practical and won't affect the outcome.

I'll just get this out of the way and say good night.


My ten things if I can think if ten things:

Lots of fire and energy early on, but doused by errors and inconsistency. They fight, but they can't finish.

I'm not really sure how talented this Baylor team is. But I'm fairly sure there is a lot of talent here that is being wasted.

Arandalytics not really that big a factor tonight.

Frankly, I would probably take Shane Beamer in a straight up trade. Even better if his qb and massive WR star came along with him.

Utah doesn't even look that good. They just look like they're playing the B-team.

Love Sawyer, has moments of brilliance, but sometimes he seems to be going Benjamin Button in development.

This defense is an absolute highlight reel...for the other team.

Utah's quarterback throws like a punter. But still...

This football program makes me think of a quote from a Woody Allen movie: "I think, is like a shark. You know? It has to constantly move forward or it dies. And I think what we got on our hands is a dead shark." It ain't moving forward.

Does anyone really want a bowl game?

Bonus: White/white/white uniforms suck. Especially at home. They sure made Utah feel at home.

Since Aranda is such a great man of integrity. Will he stand up and admit he's not capable of leading Baylor Football to a better future. A man of integrity would resign and move on.

This is a silly thought. He signed a contract. Breaking a signed contract, not underperforming despite your best effort, is what shows a lack of integrity.

Now the question is: where did that contract come from?

When it comes to integrity, keep your eye on the ball, man.

All white is light years better than full pickle or anything mustard. Probably the only highlight of the evening.

Yeah but does that really excite ? I think people on here tend to go local too much. He may be the next Saban but I think it could be risky. I have higher aspirations than to be another North Texas

I do as well, but right now North Texas would blow away this team.
