Baylor Bears Football Thread

No, I doubt they will either.


Stidham isn't going anywhere, btw. Monumental news in terms of recovery of the football program.

There isn't a full written report.

 

Where did you read this?

LOL at Paul Finebaum, shill for the bastion of integrity that is the SEC, getting on espn and slamming Baylor, says the program is ruined, nobody will want to be associated with it, no recruits will want to go there, etc....

 

Well he's right, they will want to go play for uncle Les where you can do anything you want with no repercussions.

At least Baylor did the right thing.

 

Only because they were left with no other choice. Baylor wouldn't be in this mess if they cared for anything other than football. They gained nothing by protecting rapists. It's not like these players were Heisman candidates.

 

Damn if we do, damn if we don't.

 

True because what Baylor did was inexcusable. Nothing Baylor does at this point on will erase what the victims suffered. The only thing they can do now is make sure it doesn't happen again by getting rid of everyone that should have done something in the first place.

That is what happens when you screw up to the extend and as wide spread as Baylor has. Right now, the motivations and truthfulness of anything related to Baylor's administrators is rightfully being questioned.

Does that make you feel better about your favorite football team?

 

I don't choose who I root for. I attended Baylor University and I'll continue to root for my team. We'll see how awesome you think Pastor Strong is when y'all finish 6-6, 7-5 but hey that's improvement.

 

Ouch. Hopefully, we'll pick up some recruits in 2017 after we have a solid season and an impactful new head coach in place. Singletary wants the job but I'm not sold on him being the answer long-term. Hopefully, Dickson and Smith stay. That would help.

 

I've lost a lot of respect for you. I couldn't care less what UT football does if it meant Texas students were put in danger. Football isn't that important.

 

Singletary with Kendall Briles as OC would be interesting. What's the scuttlebutt on K.Briles staying?

 

It's a football thread. Can't take any **** talking? Lol.

Relax man. I was trolling and you took the bait.

 

That would be interesting actually but I can't see KB staying at OC long-term. He's gonna want the HC position or he will will probably leave for a lateral move.
