Sorry for all the negative posting tonight. This is just disgusting and I can't help myself.
I'm out.
Don't blame you. I'm gone too. Maybe there's something like a Seinfeld rerun I can watch for the 50th time.
You'll see better basketball play in that "Jimmy" episode.

This is just embarrassing.
I never thought we'd be back to being a Big 12 bottom-feeder under Drew, but here we are. This team doesn't even belong on the court with these teams we're playing.
Home ... road ... doesn't matter. This team just sucks.
For the first time in over a decade, Baylor has started 1-5 in Big 12 play 😬 pic.twitter.com/1uiqLI3Hhf

Baylor just can't have nice things. Drew should be embarrassed with the team he has constructed. Zero excuse for this.

Drew started with nothing. Every single player on this team is new. Just a hodgepodge of players. It's hard to watch or root for because I don't know who any of these guys are.

This is a huge symptom of the state of College sports in the NIL and transfer portal era. Gone are the days of enjoying watching players that you are reasonably sure will be around for up to 4-5 years (barring something out of left field) develop and progress - and I hate it. Unless somebody gets control of the "wild west" situation college sports is now in and institutes some guard rails and limitations, we're going to continue to see practically every season become a major rebuild for the vast majority of teams out there.
"Rebuild" implies that something is being built.ImmortalTen said:Johnny Bear said:

I wish people would remember this. Yes this is a terrible season for Baylor Basketball, but it's a new world and there are going to be seasons where we have to rebuild -- this season it's literally a complete 100% rebuild.
Drew didn't suddenly forget how to coach, and he's not suddenly a loser. He's old-school, this NIL stuff is new, and it's going to take a year or two to get over a complete roster loss. None of us like this new world of college sports, the only ones who do are the programs that continue to be at the top of the sport with tons of money and the Tech/BYU types who have seemingly unlimited supplies of money to build rosters with (in fairness to TT their program had improved and made deep runs prior to NIL, but Toppin still playing is all NIL).
I think we need to be patient and give Drew another year. He's done things with Baylor MBB that no one thought was possible at Baylor. He's been Baylor's Dean Smith and IMO he's earned a mulligan or two (or maybe even three).
Baylor Basketball will be back.

We're a Big 12 program with good resources for the conference. If our conference mates with the same or lesser resources can go make competent hires and compete at a respectable level, there's no reason we can't (and shouldn't expect to) also.Oldbear83 said:
Firing is easy, but firing Drew before you know who you will hire, and specifically how the new guy will get you where you want to be, is like jumping out of the plane not knowing if you have a parachute, or just a backpack full of books.

I trust Drew, not least because I remember the years when he started. A lot of folks now pretend Drew should magically produce titles on schedule.
Rational people understand you have good years and bad, and just as you cannot assume a coach who hasn't done anything will suddenly be able to produce great results, it's absurd to assume a proven champion will be in decline just because some fan who never even played at the Power conference level has to vent his/her/its spleen.

We'll gladly listen to your relevant coaching experience, since that's evidently a big criterion for commenting on these boards.....

I'm not the one demanding a Hall of Fame coach be replaced.
Still waiting for an argument not based 90%+ on 'I wanna win more'.

This is why you stay off the premium board. Literally every poster is like oldbear, and they come in droves.
Scott Drew has been on a steady decline since his championship, and there is no light at the end of the tunnel. If it continues, he needs to go. This applies to just about everything in life. Not just Baylor Basketball.
I wouldnt mind canning both BBALL and FBALL HCs, and just completely flipping BU Athletics culture on its head.

Why? You are just going to give me these "absolute" statements as to why they would never come here.
We have the same syndrome with FB. You need to hop off the premmy board for a while.
