  1. A 2-3 loss season will not take too much shine off of his coaching rose, but it might make the BDF as our bitch look awfully uninviting.
  2. Total commits (non 300) over that period: tOSU 26 (8) Bama 24 (3) Texas 20 (4)
  3. Landry was an icon who deserved to announce his (forced) resignation and have a proper send-off.
  4. Texas 9-0 ISU 7-2 OU 7-2 (loss h2h v ISU) TCU 6-3 Baylor 5-4 OSU 5-4 Tech 3-6 WVU 2-7 KSU 1-8 KU 0-9 We are good enough to win them all. We could lose one or three, but I like us as the favorite for each in isolation. OU is talented, but ISU has heart. Those two could flip places. I think TCU is a very tough out this year. Baylor seems like they will almost beat good teams and manage to overcome bad ones. Tech has brought in some grad transfers— I think they may be the best of the worst 4. The bottom of the conference will be bad, methinks.
  5. 2020 will end with a few hardliners totally unfazed. They will tout the "Jimbo timeline" in some ridiculous fashion, thank their stars they amassed 9 meaningful wins as part of the LOS league, mock our 12 wins and conference championship as BDF nonsense, and start salivating over how well 2021 is going to go. The other 2% will start to entertain a little bit of doubt, though.
  6. $3 million is a big chunk of money. I have family members that love other schools, and myself have more than one sheepskin on my wall. I'm not sure what my cutoff is, but I think 3 mil is above it. I have a great life on the other 361 days of the year, and could probably still enjoy CFB days cheering for teams not named Baylor, OU, PSU, tOSU, or Tamu.
  7. A guy with his speed who gets a rep for drops in his first stop is not going to get many serious looks.
  8. I don’t think he’ll struggle to be bowl eligible. 9+ wins would surprise me, but 8 is feasible, 7 likely, 6 almost guaranteed.
  9. My quick math indicates that Dykes had 2 votes while the other also receiving crowd had one each, fwiw.
  10. Sounds like a guy who is probably better than his rating because ATH. Any worry that he is convinced of the “value” of playing closer to home before signing day?
  11. When we beat LSU, they will lament that we get credit for stumbling onto a team still reeling and retooling from the epic game against aggy. The story will be that the superior LSU team thought it had time to come up with a new offense after coming up short against them, and we lucked into a W against a team that beats us 9/10 once they get things sorted out. Also home cooking.
  12. I have a good friend who is also an alumnus. He refuses to send them a red cent until they come clean. They sent a representative to town to reassure him about the response and that Baylor would be doing all the right things right before another one of the embarrassing official mishandling stories broke. If Texas were continuing to do what Baylor has/is, I’d throw all my orange in the trash and put my diploma in a black bag.
  13. Yes. I was thinking he will be a good case study in the Herman early eval/offer process.
  14. Looking at numbers from this chart, we have 77 on scholarship after subtracting DmB. 25 of those are JR or SR. That leaves 33 spots over the next 2 classes, plus attrition etc. If 4-5 guys leave a year for whatever reason (historically they do) and we take 21 in 20, that leaves us about 22 spots in 21. Normally I would guess slightly higher on transfers/retirements/draftees etc, but I thought I’d start with a relatively conservative estimate.
  15. Looking at this chart, we have 77 on scholarship after subtracting DmB. 11 Seniors. Not a lot of early entry NFL candidates, but Cosmi might go. Not a lot of washout/transfer candidates, maybe Urquidez. Injury retirement for Cummins wouldn’t shock me based on how little game time appears to be in the cards for him. That’s a 2020 class of 20 if 2/3 of the guys I listed leave. There are almost always a couple others that go for some reason. 22 seems like a plausible max for this year. 20 might do it, though, if there are no late must-takes.
  16. What a great addition. Hookem young man!
  17. How could anyone smart enough to find Cal on a map still watch (present tense) Baylor football except to hope for the wrath of God to smite it?
  18. Yeah, but remember that one time they beat Bama?
  19. Clemson was disappointed not to be facing 2005 USC and didn't want to be there.
  20. There's more in his world on which to feed than just balls.
  21. If these texts float around too long in the mediaverse, it could mess up USC's timing for hiring UM. He'd be radioactive if the thing for which he was most famous was coming up with stories to cover domestic violence.
  22. Even if he chooses/sticks with UGA, it takes a little wind out of the negative recruiters' sails every time a blue chip recruit mentions us positively and publicly.
