To the Baylor fans.
Welcome to the board. I'm going to put it out there early. I hate the leadership of your school. A lot.
Before Baylor's failed bid to the PAC, I really didn't think about the private Baptist school in Texas much, except to wonder how they'd landed in our conference. Word on the street? It was dirty Texas politics, so I went ahead with that explanation, and haven't heard a more plausible one to date.
Back to the quality of play in the Pac 12. It was a down year. That's a great deal for CU. We don't have a strong basketball tradition, so this gave our Buffs a chance to squeeze our foot through the door. Our fans were the talk of the Pac 12 tournament, and similarly the Buffs were a strong presence in game one of the NCAA tournament. It has been noted by several press outlets. Our fan base is mobilized, excited and having fun.
This year's moderate success (to date) should help recruiting, and donations and maybe we can build something from here. Like many CU fans, I don't have a strong history of paying a lot of attention to our basketball program. But it's been fun, and I plan to stick with it.
And really, I'm thankful nobody on the team got murdered. Also, a recent audit showed that the coach isn't paying for any of student-athletes' tuition. So in that regard our season has been a success.
Now, on to the reason nearly all CU fans hate your program. It's really does go back to the efforts of Kenneth Starr and Buddy Jones to strap themselves to UT's Pac 12 bid.
Actually, that's not true. I don't blame them one bid for making a shot at the Pac. It looked like the Big 12 was going to crumble. Who would take Baylor? Certainly not the MWC, which would have been the most likely choice. You see, despite Jones' claims of long-held family traditions in Texas, Baylor had ****ed over TCU, Houston and Rice during the expansion of the Big 8. You guys already had a reputation for being a bit wormy over there. The Bears had no place to go.
But I don't hate Baylor because they tried to get into the Pac 12. I hate Baylor because of their leadership's efforts to trash CU in the process. It was based on falsehoods. Few, if any academic rankings put Baylor even in the same neighborhood as CU. Your football program and tradition does not compare. The size of your fan base, is laughable. Facilities? C'mon now. Did you ever get a chance to attend a game at Folsom? So the arguments were both ridiculous and maddening.
You would be angry if somebody lied about something you value as well. Buddy Jones and Kenneth Starr spewed lies in their bid to stay relevant. Think about that. The leadership of a Baptitst school spreading baldfaced lies. Coupled with your scandal not so long ago, I do wonder about the values of that private college in Waco. Baptists indeed.
Here's a question for you. Why would somebody pay so much money to go to a non-elite academic institution. That seems strange to me. Also, it's in Waco. Jesus Christ, you people. From the outside that seems like a strange decision. Hmmmmmm pay more money to attend a crappy school in an even crappier town. I'm in!
Most major conferences have their private academic institution. Our conference, for instance, has Stanford. It's a great academic school with a strong athletic tradtion. The Bix IG has Northwestern. That's a fine school. Vandy is in the SEC. But the Big XII features Baylor, a school with an academic tradition similar to Kansas State's. It's odd.
Anyway, I don't care about the things that you guys like to talk trash about. As a fanbase we've spent a good amount of time in the last year discussing how much we love our new conference and how much we hate our old one. So we're happy travelling to Southern California (where I live, so I don't really travel there), The Bay Area and the Pacific Northwest. The fans of the Pac 12 have been welcoming and a lot of fun (for the most part) when they visit our little fan site here. It just feels right.
And apparently you guys are happy too. Well that's too bad, but there's nothing I can do about it.
Yes, there's a basketball game tomorrow. I don't have strong feelings about who I think is going to win, but I'll be rooting for my Buffs as always. We're just happy to be in the tournament. If we can somehow pull out a win against the school we all hate then that would certainly be a bonus.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by, and as always **** you Baylor fans so ****ing hard that your little eyeballs pop out.
