  • Yeah, nobody is cheering for rape but when the perception of the individual conferences seems to play such a large part in the CFP committee's evaluations in determining who is worthy of the playoff I

    Yeah I don't understand people who refuse to acknowledge the changing paradigm in how college football is discussed today.  We (and the conference as a whole) can't recruit an elite, top line defensiv

lol   i just realized that the back of the baylor helmets have the players local area code in the state of texas

I've said it once, and I'll say it again. Texas needs two of Baylor, TCU and Tech to be 8-9 win teams to prop up the conference SOS. 

Rhule appears to have Baylor on the brink of that. TCU appears to be in a long decline. Come on Tech. 

 

Hate to say it, but Baylor hired probably the best coach they could after what happened.

Our conference record would be better if we got to play more of these SEC teams. Shame, though— I was counting on Vandy to smite the rapists for us.

Oh, and I loved Rhule’s comment about his seniors showing how not to “fall victim.”

Is Ruhle shorter than Bilbo Fisher?

Matt Rhule claims 6'1. Jimbo wouldn't hit that in stilettos.

hopefully this is the start of another SEC exposed in the bowl season.

This. Being the best team in a great conference is much better than being the best team in a shitty conference. There is room on the spectrum between aggy and cheering against every conference opponent every non-conference game.

"They taught our players not to listen to the rape accusations & evidence of total lack of moral direction outside noise"

After reading Rhule's explanation for taking the job, they hired the perfect coach. He's just evangelical as Freeze, but Rhule might actually walk the walk. 

Damn Baylor, stood up to the mighty SEC SEC SEC and didn’t get a rape charge to walk

Baylor moves to 7-6, Mediocre Plus.

I don’t quite feel comfortable  about making fun of teams going 7-6 just yet given the past 10 years......

I think they were like 2-5 last year going into the Playoff and finished like 4-6. Or something like that. I can't remember exactly.

I don’t cheer against every conference opponent, just the ones we recruit against and the ones that are an embarrassment by association.

Tech is the most palatable of the other Power 5 in state schools for many, many reasons.

they are too stupid to figure out the #6 in a conference with 10 teams Vs #11 in a conference with 14 teams

never mind that both are 6-6 and they claim the SEC SEC SEC is superior so the SEC SEC SEC 6-6 should just mean more

Edited by ButtFumble

Some blue blood or another NFL team should come calling for Rhule. He's way too good for Baylor.

I knew that somehow this still meant the SEC was superior.

Does this lose go on aggie’s record or do they just claim the conference wins?

I'd say that's a great year for them considering they only won one last year.  They came very close to beating us, at home this year.  I think that's a huge improvement.  If I was a Baylor fan, I'd be thrilled.

.  

Baylor scored more than any of sec teams to vandy. Only Georgia scores 41. 

How often does a team give up 243 rushing yards to one guy and win?

  • Author

I don't get all the chuckles, Vandy put up 745 yards of defense on Baylor. 

 

Wait, wut?

Good to be drinking this whiskey to celebrate, rather than to drown the sorrows (there was going to be whiskey either way).

Tech let Chris Warren run 276 yards  on them in 2015 and still won

Somehow TCU and Baylor won. Now we see how the Hillbillies do tomorrow.

But their QB isn't playing.  Big disadvantage, I'd say.

I would say you are right. But with TCU and Baylor winning somehow everything looks possible.

So far the two most entertaining bowl games have come from Big 12 teams. But this is why until (if ever) we have a true playoff system our conference should be in them. 

If you weren’t entertained by the the Cheez-it or Academy sports and Outdoors (indoor) bowl then your heart is made of stone. It’s to be entertained. I have no doubt Iowa State will do their best against Washington State as well.

Baylors first game of 600 yards on offense since ‘16.

Vanderbilt didn’t give up 600 yards of offense to a single SEC team this year. 

It’s  almost like playing shit offenses helps your defense.

Vandy averaged 419 yds/game in total defense coming into this game.

 

Baylor, of all teams, missing its starting RB, hung 675 yards on them.

Baylor is the 6th or 7th best offense in the Big 12 by most metrics. OU or WV (with Grier) would drop 1k yards on Vanderbilt. 

People make fun of Big 12 defenses but the same shit would happen in other conferences with Big 12 offenses. 

The Bears got some yards, aye.!?

 

Rhule has Baylor on the right track, I thought they were for sure finished for at least a decade. He has put together three really great classes for Baylor’s standards. TCU is also stacking developmental talent as usual, I expect them to be back next season with improved QB play. Oklahoma State is also on the rise, their offense will be tough in 2019. OU will take a step back without Murray, Brown, & that offensive line. Although they will probably be the most talented they’ve been in the playoff era. Iowa State has the pieces to continue success but competition will be stiffer next season. Lastly Texas will probably have the most talented roster we’ve had here in a long time, I think we’ll be more explosive but less consistent. I don’t know what to expect from Tech, The Kansas schools, or WVU & I don’t really care. The Big12 will be competitive & wide open, no reason we shouldn’t take the crown next season.
