Last year, Matt Rhule told recruits that if they don’t choose Baylor, they are going to be watching the Bears host GameDay against OU in November competing for a Big 12 title.
#TrustTheProcess
Jared Butler didn't see the final part of the game after fouling out. "I just couldn't watch the game. I was in the tunnel praying with Coach Charlie. If it is His will, let it be."
For 54.5 minutes, Baylor controlled this game. They outscored UT 17-6. But 4.5 minutes that saw UT score 17 points costs Baylor. The Bears played their hearts out and had a chance to win on the road against a top-AP team. It was right there.
Baylor fans should hold their heads high. They took a very good Oklahoma team down to the wire, with their third string QB, and fell just a little short. Incredible. Bears are an LSU victory tonight away from the Sugar Bowl.
Let’s be clear. Last night didn’t suck at all. It was amazing and crazy. Disappointing end, yes. But that was a an outstanding game and special atmosphere. Best crowd I remember at McLane.
Baylor women’s basketball continues its utter dominance over Texas. NaLyssa Smith has never lost to Texas in her career. Her effort this game with 28 and 12, is a big reason for this win.
Finally got a look at the illegal snap/fumble in the first OT. That is a tough call for Tech. If that were flipped, Baylor fans would be just as upset. The Refs were garbage today for both teams, but that was a massive call.
I don't understand a linebacker not wanting to play for Dave Aranda and this defensive scheme. Guys should be lining up for the shot to be doing what Pitre, Doyle, and Bernard are doing for the Bears.
How far back do you have to go for the other in-state P5 schools for five 10-win seasons?
Baylor - 9 seasons
TCU - 10 seasons
Texas - 14 seasons
Texas A&M - 28 seasons
Texas Tech - 82 seasons

defeated Texas in Austin for the first time in program history 🙌
After a 1-year absence from the NCAA tournament, Scott Drew rebuilt his team with just 3 returning players, brought in a litany of transfers and newcomers, lost his best player halfway through the year...and got them back into the NCAA.
Paul Mills came to Baylor as their coordinator of operations with Scott Drew's first staff in 2003. He moved up to an assistant coach position 6-years later and stayed for another 8. Took over Oral Roberts in 2017 and just upset

Terrel Bernard in the last four games after replacing senior Clay Johnston:
---52 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 1 interception, 2 fumbles recovered (1 TD).
Amazing production from the sophomore.
5 plays accounted for 327 yards for the bears today.
---Hasty 63-yard catch
---Thornton 78 yard catch
---Fleeks 64 yard catch
---Fleeks 44 yard catch
---Hasty 78-yard run
Pretty good. 61% of their 536 yards of offense today.
I am truly concerned about this Baylor team. The energy, the passion, the fun of it. None of it is there. Even this win leaves a lot to be desired. Never felt that Bears dominated.This staff needs to figure it out. I really hope they can find something to spark this team.
Baylor has now finalized the full flip form 2-years ago. 1-11 to 11-1. Matt Rhule is now 1-game over .500 in his coaching career at Baylor. Stunning that he did it so quickly after year 1.
Baylor offensive line coach Eric Mateos is staying at Baylor according to sources. Had interviewed for Georgia offensive line position and was a strong candidate. But Mateos has decided to stay.
Baylor fans, you might just not like the hiring of Gary Patterson. But TCU fans HATE it and want to pull his statue down saying he is "dead to me". So, we got that going for us.

You want to talk about guys stepping up? Tyquan Thornton had 9 catches for 123 yards and a touchdown in the second half as the Cyclones keyed in on Denzel Mims.
28 points and 20 rebounds for NaLyssa Smith in a defacto championship game on the road against Iowa State. As big of a big game performance as Baylor has seen.
All those failed jet sweeps this year for Baldwin...it pays off in the Sugar Bowl for a 48-yard touchdown. Read the block perfectly and cut it up the field.
Happiest guy tonight. Joey McGuire. Second happiest group? Reporters answering "What is going on with McGuire?" questions 500x a day. Third...Baylor fans.
I am so so so excited for
@CoachMcGuire_BU
. The man has been a rock at Baylor the past 5-years, and has been a key component of the culture. Everyone knew this time would come and it is more than deserved.
Shapen runs the ball instead of passing to a wide open TE that was his primary read on the play. He is short. You have to pass that ball. As soon as Baylor punted, it was over.
Is TCU losing to Kansas in football in the year of our lord 2018 the thing that can bring the Baylor family back together and unify it? This is one man that hopes so.
Josh White said this when he committed to LSU back in 2019:
"Coach Aranda is one of the best coaches to ever do it. Me and him have built a great relationship. I feel like he can get me NFL ready!"

TCU got completely screwed there at Kansas. Jeez. Stopped the play on an advantage, then called the flagrant foul. 6-point swing possibly in the last minute. Terrible.
To me, that is the second best win of the season after OU. Senior night, tough place to play and as physical of a game we have seen. Baylor controlled it and got the win.
Jared Butler on what this win can do. ""This win and what we accomplished at Baylor will change the whole mood of the program." Called it the biggest thing to happen to this program.
Jerome Tang was a key resource in Louisiana on key kids. Baylor just hired Tweety Carter to a key role to help offset that, someone that Tang recruited. Love it.
Baylor with a wire to wire win. Took a 9-point lead 3:32 into the game and it was never closer than 7 points the rest of the way. Incredible domination.
