    Who thought BU was getting kicked out of the Big XII and replaced with UH?

    As far as acting desperate...... you are acting a little desperate... from not thinking you would lose many recruits, to saying you had your QB of the future and would be okay, to losing the QB and falling for the garbage company line that he wasn't good enough...... to allegedly linking Herman and Rhoades as being connected at the hip...... to now claiming K Briles is the man... the SON of the coach that started the mess and was also on the staff when all these problems occurred.

    Baylor long term will be okay, they won't be at the bottom of the Big XII, but they wont be at the top either... they will make some bowl games and sometimes be ranked. However the next few years will be a step back... they are likely a game or two over .500% thanks to a weak out of conference schedule, but in 2017-2018 the talent gap will be even more obvious.

    As for UH, they are at a spot where they will either take a couple leaps forward, or crash back down to mediocrity... has been that way ever since the SWC fell apart and the university didn't fight hard enough to get into the Big XII.

    LMFAO

    Nook.. Stidham was a one year starter at Baylor assuming Russell stays healthy. It was to bridge a one year gap. That's it and of course that would have helped because winning cures a lot usually. We're going to be a run oriented team way more so than in the past. Zach Smith will be fine but only time will tell and you'll see him play this season in blowouts and hopefully not bc of a Russell injury.

    Nook.. Are you in tune with the pulse of the program and fans? KB was pencilled in to be the next head coach for decades to come in a perfect world. That was a given.

    Ok this was my last Baylor related post. Carry on, fellas. Can't wait for Sep 3! Looking forward to a great game!

    Thanks to Collin Wilder, I'm going full t-shirt mode.

    The Big 12 will vote on expansion tomorrow so the timing of this news is pretty obvious.

    Pac 12 would be a dream scenario. I hope there is some real desire from the conference.

    The Pac-12 getting a piece of the recruiting and TV sets in Texas would be detrimental to the Big-12, the SEC is already starting to take a bite and the Big-12 doesn't have much of a footprint outside Texas and Oklahoma.

    I would love for UH to join the Pac-12. I already watch a good amount of Pac-12 basketball and football.

    Personal experience several many moons ago.

    PAC12 would be sick, and it would make 94.7% of the Longhorn/Sooner nations crazy envious.

    He's still allowed to speak in public rooms with people and microphones and stuff? That's an oversight.

    Fix that ****, Donny.

    An "introductory meeting" doesn't sound too promising, though I like UH being aggressive and leaking this right now.

    It's intended as a threat.

    Yeah, it's like Schopenhauer and Heidegger leading a discussion on the communitarianism and the feminist progressive movements! Hahaha
