Baylor

Re: Baylor

Oh, and . . .

When BU won the women's national championship, I got taught the Bear Claw from a Baylor grad who sat just behind us (wife and I go to all the Women's Final Fours-she's not just a UT grad, she was a Lady Vol volleyball player). And last year, I got adopted by the A&M people we were sitting with when they found out that my dad spent some time in College Station getting edumacated during WW2. So I'm OK with Baylor and with A&M, generally. Texas . . . well, that orange is really ugly . . .

That orange is ugly because it is burnt. Of course when the Vols came out with the jack-o-lantern uni's for halloween ...

Re: Baylor

I'm sure the Summit League will be happy to take a look at adding Baylor when the inevitable happens and the Big 12 folds...I'll give the Big 12(Longhorn Conference) 3 years. But I'm sure it will be more budget friendly for you to hold hands with ORU and join the Southland Conference.

not that I agree with you...in fact I totally disagree...once aggy leaves, everyone will get along much better, but why do you take such pleasure in hoping that Baylor is dumped by the Power Conferences?

Re: Baylor

Nope. That was Washington. Unless Baylor's got two first round draft picks playing for it.

And don't let's play the conference vs. conference thing. Unless we're trashing the Big East. Then I'm all for it.

Washington had a more physically gifted back court, but Baylor has a more physically gifted front court.

Tony Wroten is a complete freak with his combination of size, speed, and athleticism, while Perry Jones III and Quincy Miller have lottery draft pick specs for their respective positions. The plus for the Jacks is that, though these kids are great talents, they are not great basketball players yet (I say "yet" because all 3 are underclassman and have the talent to develop a great basketball skill set).

I'll also throw in that Baylor's PG, Pierre Jackson (we should call him "Pier" like our capital btw) is crazy fast, but it'll be tough for him to stick with an NBA team due to his size.

Re: Baylor

Baylor also has two other possible 1st rounders one and 2 years away currently on the team

Re: Baylor

Hey now . . . round these here parts "UT" refers to the University of Tennessee. Just ask my wife (proud UT grad . . .). We call Texas "that school with the REALLY ugly orange jerseys" around here . . . (well, at least I do . . .)

Re: Baylor

Which board did you try? Our rivals have a ton of grads so they have too many idiot trolls (UT, A&M, & Tech). Sorry about that.

Re: Baylor

Hi. That's me you're talking about. I'm glad you've already checked in at BaylorFans. To be honest, the Summit is a weak conference. ORU is no where close to the tournament and if SDSU lost to Western Illinois at the Arena then your entire message board would be discussing the placement of WIU in the tourney. The fact of the matter is when you compare the two leagues it isn't even close. I don't like that people are looking ahead to other games already. I'm a one game at a time type guy. I'm looking for a good game and I expect SDSU to play strong.

Here is what I think. Baylor will be the most talented, most athletic team that the Jacks will play all year.

Yes, Baylor has 2 lottery picks on the floor at the same time. Baylor also has two other possible 1st rounders one and 2 years away currently on the team.

Re: Baylor

Holy hell, how did this happen?

You know how this happened? In 1995, when Baylor was in the SWC, their athletic budget (inflation adjusted) was lower than SDSU's 2011 athletic budget as a member of the Summit. That might explain some of the general underperformance of ye Baylor Bears, as compared to the other, 'cheatin', schools in Texas. Shoot. You guys are lucky you didn't end up like Rice, a well respected curiosity in lower conference.

Re: Baylor

Lol @ Baylor fans fighting on this message board. Good ****.

Yes, even more so since the jackass calling me a UT fan and I have been posting on the same Baylor fan site for years, I just picked a different screen name here. Holy hell. For full disclosure, I post as "marco" on Baylorfans.com.

Jeremy brings a lot to the game in the way of statistics, but his personality, well, that's a whole 'nother thing. Really Jeremy? A Horn fan? hahaha....

I apologize to our hosts, we have some really, really decades long butt hurt fans who think that anything that is posted and doesn't put Baylor in a good light must be from a troll. Fact is we've sucked at D-1 sports for a long time and are just getting used to winning again, we had some success when I was a kid in the '70's.

Holy hell, how did this happen?

Re: Baylor

Is this the highest ranked team SDSU had ever played? As a Mizzou fan, I've seen Baylor a number of times. They are crazy athletic and rebound very well. And they are deeeeeep. Good luck to your team.

Re: Baylor

Summit is Mid-Major. Certainly not to te level of Big 12, but not as weak as some parochial Big 12 fans might think. And, ORU I beileive was one of the first teams out on the selection.
