Baylor and Mizzou might be involved in a trade...bello for dixon (if dixon will be eligible). Duece never liked it when QMIller left Baylor last year and the playing time didn't look too good for this season. The kid can dunk!
every NFL team should send their D coaches to the state of Texas. No one runs the read option better than A&M and Baylor. Last 2 heisman winners abused the read option.
I don't buy this crap that RG3 holds blame. You know, if he comes out early, under his own will, then he is labeled a Jay Cutler. IF he sticks out and wins the game, he's a gutsy Brett Favre. Hindsight is always easiest but come on now. Just about every QB would have done the same thing as RG3. The kid wants to win, do you blame him? No one wants to be taken out of the game under their own will.
Freshman year at Baylor, Briles had him running a lot. Sophmore year he tears his ACL. Junior year? Develops into a pocket passer. Shanahan will learn to do the same. More zone read running plays but instead of griff running, roll him out in the pocket and hit the outside WR for a quick 8 yard hook. that was his bread and butter. If the skins keep making him run, he will have a great, but short career. Oh and can we get the NFL to force the skins to change the turf?!
Funny how SEC's 'dominance' stems from one ex-Big 12 school...A&M. Looks like that's the SEC's problem now. Have fun with the team that can't win a bowl game!
Why don't they talk about MB's inability to recruit a DECENT QB? Since Colt, its been Chiles, little McCoy, Gilbert and Ash. How do you get the top QB every year and turn them into poop? If he doesn't get a better QB than Ash, then he needs to just wait and see which QB an Art Briles recruits and go after him. Less with more is starting to sound very aggy-ish.
Gordon, if he has a decent QB throwing to him, will be a great down field threat. After watching him at Baylor, he had a few problems running intricate routes but was the homerun threat. His speed is top notch (look up the 94 TD catch against KU). He has the makings of a great WR, but it all depends on the QB and staying out of trouble. Briles wanted him to stay on the team, the administration kicked him out of school. Wright goes first round, Gordon goes second round, but Baylor's best WR is still in school with T Williams.
Offense will never be an issue at Baylor with Briles. They lost RG3, yes, but they have a loaded backfield and receiving corps. The season will be made or broken by the defense. Florence can manage a game without any issues. I just hope UT can finally break their losing streak to the Bears this season. All that talent...all those recruits...sad.
is he hated because he outworks the other coaches that sit on their butt and just expect recruits to come streaming in (glares at rick barnes)? Or is it the fact that some parents appreciate the fact that he offers a christian environment at Baylor? I would hate the new kid on the block as well if he came in and started grabbing all of the recruits. And if there is a program under the NCAAs microscope, its the Baylor Men's b-ball program. He would be stupid to get caught.
I like the people who 'still aren't convinced' about RG3's skills. Obvious uninformed is obvious. You do realize he played against better passing defenses than Luck or Barkley. You do realize that he has the smarts as well (graduated 3 years with poli sci degree, getting his masters in communications and was in the process of applying for law school). He can beat you with his legs and his arm. Who had a better comp % for passes over 25 yards this season? Oh yea, RG3. This whole 'he played in a system' is a bit overplayed. If he only threw 4 yards and let the WR gain another 2 or 3, that would be one thing. But go back and take a look at something, he had 4,300 yards passing with a 189.5 passer rating. Go find anyone that had that rating with that high of passing yards. I will hang up and listen.
Oh and there were maybe 100 UT fans at the Baylor-UT basketball game on Saturday. Over 10,000 at the Ferrell Center but only 1% wearing the burnt orange. The Wal-Mart fans must not be so eager to purchase their favorite longhorn gear...and it couldn't happen to a better group.
UT may have the 2 most overrated coaches in the NCAA...Mackie "Roscoe P Coletrain" Brown and Ricky Poo Barnes. Keep paying them well over their worth. We love beating them on the gridiron and hardwood.

P.S. That LHN must be awesome for recruits. Now all 14 people can see replays of loss after loss after loss...
Alamo bowl is adding temporary seating for the Baylor/Washington game. Huge influx in tickets after the heisman presentation. But hey you know, a #11 vs #13 matchup with a half-filled stadium is MUCH more intriguing to the BCS.
I hope he stays...Baylor could be a real force in the Big 12 with Seastrunk and Salubi in the backfield. Of the receiving corps, they only lose Wright. If Baylor only had a defense...*sigh*
No one will draft Weeden from Okie St...he is already older than most starting QBs in the NFL.
Dead 12? you mean the conference that just traded the mediocre missery team for WVU? They all blame Texas but they are all leaving for one thing: $$. So what if they never make it to another bowl game.
Yea, I don't know how Drew is recruiting those kids...it couldn't be from the fact that he was a solid recruiter at Valpo (won numerous recruiting awards) before taking the Baylor job. It couldn't be because some parents like the idea of their kids in a Christian university that is close to home. Nah, he MUST be cheating. Show me proof otherwise ****. You just sound ignorant.
Haters gonna hate.
Can we kick them out of the Big 12? They suck.
