I can't believe this thread has made it to 5 pages.
When explaining Baylor, its not a bad idea calling out some of BU's famous ideas and alumni.
Idea 1: Intelligent design. Baylor's Michael Polanyi Center for Complexity, Information and Design is a university department funded to challenge and perhaps debunk evolution.
Idea 2: Cannibal Hannibal Lector and serial killer Buffalo Bill is a creation from the mind of Baylor alumnus Thomas Harris. It puts the lotion on itself...
Idea 3: Ventrilloquists are still funny. Comedian Jeff Dunham is a BU alum who perfected the scitzophenia of his alma mater by embodying a decent human being while channelling his inner asshole through a crusty puppet. If only that puppet had the likeness of Buddy Jones or Kenneth Starr, the.charade would be complete.
Idea 4: Baylor's most famous alumnus is a pot-hound and avoids taxes. Mamma's don't let your children grow up to be cowboys. Put that in your pipe and smoke it next time a Baylor fan accuses CU of having a monopoly on bong rips.
Idea 5: ESPN Sports Center conspiracy driven by Baylor Alumni Trey Wingo and Matt Winer. It's unclear how much that Baylor education contributes to Wingo acting like he really knows what he talking about and has so much insight but he has no experience and only goes with the popular opinion while offering no experiencial or innovative thought.
Idea 6: Ron Paul is a nutjob. The most compelling reason yet has come to light, which is sure to disappoint Allbuffs Tea Party supporters. The Republican presidental hopeful from Texas sent his son Rand to Baylor. Now the question is whether the Senator from Kentucky cheered on the Wildcats or the Bears last weekend during the elite 8 in Atlanta?
@ surveyor - Nebraska doesn't go to the NCAA basketball tourney. The McRibs and Larry the Cable Guy jokes will be funny again the next time CU plays aNUs. Until then, KNU is irrelevent around here.
If you remove Baylor's 50-123 record in the Big 12, their record is 491-418 which translates into a .540 winning percentage and if you looked at CFB Data Warehouse, that would place Baylor at about the very middle when it comes to all 120 FBS teams. Missouri and Air Force are in that middle point. Not great but still pretty good given that Baylor battled Arkansas, Texas, and Texas A&M for years on the gridiron. If Baylor was in a different conference where everyone wasn't so invested into football, it's reasonable to believe that their winning % would have been higher if they were placed into a conference where half the members were serious about football and the other half were serious about basketball.
I still don't like Baylor although. What I am simply pointing out that Baylor has made the investments (as Skidmark said) that put them at where they are right now because they don't answer to the state like CU has to answer to the state. This should be viewed as a positive sign for CU as CU has made the investment into basketball/volleyball and suppose the investment in football comes together, we do have better days to look ahead to.
At least we are still in the Pac-12 and that is what matters the most.
Has anyone everyseen Buffalo Bill and Dana Holgersen in the same room at the same time? No? Coicidence he took the West Virginia Job?
