Matt Rhule to recruits: “I think what recruits will find out about us is if you come here, you’re going to get our best. We’re going to develop you and take care of you and grow you and help you and have your back when things go wrong. We are loyalty above everything else.”
Hey Baylor fans, it’s a new day and it’s time to get out of your feelings!
Your Bears have a massive game against Texas this Saturday at 2:30 pm with a chance to clinch a spot in the Big 12 Championship game on Dec. 7.
Who’s ready for Rd. 2 at McLane?
Dave Aranda gets what he deserves.
After being snubbed by his Big 12 Colleagues, he won the Big 12 Championship outright and has now been named AP Big 12 Coach of the Year.
Well deserved.
After 46.5 TFL & 17.5 sacks in his career, Shawn Oakman was projected by some to be the
#1
overall pick out of Baylor.
6-8, 287
4.96 40-yard
32-inch vert
123.0 broad
4.56 shuttle
He missed 3 years of his pro career.
In 45 minutes today, a jury told him he wasn’t guilty.
Baylor has THREE top 15 wins.
Notre Dame has ZERO.
Baylor is a conference champion.
Ohio State is NOT. And didn’t even make its conference championship game.
Give me a freaking break.
Let’s be real… Baylor was the best team in the country before their injuries. Scott Drew is reinventing this team on the fly and closing in on a
#1
seed.
In 2017, Baylor fell to Oklahoma State 59-16 in Stillwater during Matt Rhule’s first season to drop to 0-6.
Baylor just defeated the Cowboys 45-27 to move to 7-0 in 2019... just two years later.
Baylor football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball finished the 2021 calendar year with a combined 74-7 record.
Three Big 12 Championships & a National Championship mixed in.
No other program in the country finished with less than 10 losses combined in those three sports.
Matt Rhule has told other college jobs "absolutely not" this year, says it's not the time or place for an NFL job, and that he has "unfinished business" at Baylor.
With
@BaylorMBB
's victory over
#6
WVU today, it marks the first time in Big 12 history the same school has won outright men’s and women’s basketball titles. Congrats to
@BaylorMBB
and
@BaylorWBB
!
Baylor starting center Jacob Gall, a senior, will use extra year of eligibility to return to Baylor next season.
Gall started all 14 games during 12-2 Big 12 Champ season.
One of best OL units in country, Baylor started five seniors. Four will have choice to return for '22.
So Baylor finishes ahead of Oklahoma and Kansas in Big 12 standings, but placed in Armed Forces Bowl vs Air Force while the Sooners face
#13
Florida State and Kansas gets Arkansas?
Something stinks,
@Big12Conference
.
Let’s be real. This is a foul and TCU should have been shooting two free throws for the win. What a travesty and another awful mark for college basketball officiating.
8-0 starts by Big 12 teams this decade.
Baylor - 3
Oklahoma State - 2
TCU - 2
Kansas State - 1
Iowa State - 0
Oklahoma - 0
Texas - 0
Texas Tech - 0
West Virginia - 0
Kansas - 0
Matt Rhule did not back down to the small contingent of Baylor fans who decided to gripe today over Baylor’s creative team and their videos from
#NationalSigningDay
.
Baylor's SR class didn't know what they were in store for when they signed their LOIs.
They didn't know that they'd be the class that stayed when they didn't have to.
They are the beginning of a new future in Waco.
They will be the SR class that will never be forgotten.
It's the championship game. Your squad is on defense with a 21-16 lead.
1 minute, 19 seconds on the clock. 1st & Goal on the 1.
Four plays, mano y mano for the win or loss.
Do they get it done?
@BUFootball
did.
In 2016, I messaged Jairon McVea (
@TheMcvea
) to tell him congrats on walking on at Baylor.
He said:
“Yessir, thank you! I just wanted to come play with the best.”
5+ years later, he cemented his name in
@BUFootball
history by making this play…
Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Baylor & Texas averaged 35.4 in 36 games against Big 12 defenses this season.
In 3.5 bowl games against SEC teams, those four are averaging 34.3. With 7 Texas points in the 2nd half the average will reach 36.0.
That includes the
#1
,
#5
&
#22
teams
#SicEm
running back Abram Smith and safety Jalen Pitre were voted as the best at their positions by their teammates on the National Team at the
@seniorbowl
today.
Baylor’s first half points allowed in Big 12 play this season...
Iowa State - 0
Kansas State - 3
Texas Tech - 6
Oklahoma State - 10
West Virginia - 0
TCU - 9
Oklahoma - 10
Texas - 3
Kansas - 0
Average - 4.6 points
In the last 9 months Baylor has won a Big 12 Championship in football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball and men’s tennis.
And those are just the one’s I remember off the top of my head.
Best top to bottom athletic department in the country? I say yes.
Only two teams in the country have forced 25 or more turnovers and collected 40.0 or more sacks in 2019:
#OhioState
: 25 TOs, 49.0 sacks
#Baylor
: 28 TOs, 40.0 sacks
Looking ahead to their next home game against Texas Tech... Baylor players and coaches deserve a loaded McLane Stadium. They’ve earned it.
Get it done, Baylor fans.
Baylor basketball is never going to back down, and has never under Scott Drew.
Another terrific season while absorbing a ton of adversity on its way to a Big 12 Championship and a one seed.
Didn’t end how they wanted it to but dang, what a game. See you in November,
@BaylorMBB
.
Reflecting the upcoming 12-team playoff, here are the number of weeks the major Texas CFB programs have spent ranked inside the top 12 (AP/CFB) since 2013:
SMU - 0
Texas Tech - 1
Houston - 7
Texas - 16
TCU - 32
Texas A&M - 48
Baylor - 55
I’m as hypersensitive about
@BUFootball
attendance as you will fine, but when folks want to knock Baylor fans for “not showing up”… might be a good time to recenter your focus.
Might not have the enrollment or alumni base size of some, but Baylor fans do a good job.
Unreal to think that Shawn Oakman potentially lost out on his NFL career and millions of dollars for a jury to find him not guilty in less than two hours.
Five programs in the country are currently ranked in the AP Top 25 in football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball.
Baylor
Oregon
Michigan
Kentucky
Ohio State
Baylor signed 4-star RB Sqwirl Williams in the ‘18 class.
He redshirted in ‘18, received a medical redshirt in ‘19 and enters ‘20 as a redshirt freshman.
W/ the recent news from the NCAA regarding the extra year of eligibility for all player, he will still be a freshman in ‘21.
If you're into physical football, you might want to check out the Big 12 Championship game on Saturday.
The game will feature the No. 1 and No. 2 rushing offenses and the No. 1 and No. 2 rushing defenses in the league.
Baylor and OSU are getting back to the basics.
Former Ohio State and Florida HC Urban Meyer on
#SicEm
:
"Now they're back to being in the conversation with Texas, Texas A&M..."
"Watch Baylor, they're going to be back, man. They're going to be back in deep conversation."
The Buffalo Bills drafted Baylor LB Terrel Bernard for a lot of reasons.
But a big one?
