Found this interesting......


Baylor's offense not only leads the FBS in total offense, it also leads the FCS in that category. Former Baylor assistant Dino Babers has installed Briles's system at Eastern Illinois

How can anyone not root for Baylor? Go Bears!

Really interesting article. wish we had a coach who was ' modern day' creative.

"The beauty of Baylor's offense is that it's almost all driven by structure and repetition rather than complexity."

Gee, I'm shocked it doesn't take 2-4 yrs to learn the offense like jj's RnS.

Hmmm, an old coach that's good and beating the youngsters. Imagine that. He's too old for fnSMU.

With Baylor putting up so many points, I wonder when someone is going to accuse them of bullying.

Bigger question is: Will Kenneth Starr sue the Aggies, so Baylor can leave the Big XII?

I bet Baylor wishes they'd scheduled someone decent OOC right now. Their pathetic OOC slate might cost them a shot at a national title game appearance.

Also- for everyone that ripped Hart & June for dropping this game- our OOC slate this year would have been at TCU, #5 Baylor, #9 Tech, and at #15 A&M. Murderer's row.
