I'll give you an honest, unbiased answer. As a longtime Baylor fan, we totally screwed the pooch when we entered the Big 12. While Texas, A&M & Tech spent countless millions on the arms race, we sat back and cashed Big 12 checks, thumbed our nose at TCU,SMU, and Rice. We did nothing to keep up with the competition facility wise or coaching wise. Within 4 years, we were miles behind the competition. Couple that with a school president that knew nothing about athletics.

Then a few years back we got rid of the imposter president, revamped the administration over at the athletic office, and began the lengthy process of playing catch up. Under the leadership of a new athletic director, Baylor realized the great expense needed to play the catch up game. Fortunately, we had some heavy hitters who were willing to help the cause. The overall budgets were increased at the expense of red ink. Today Baylor has facilities and high paid coaches that can and are competing. I realize it's been a number of years since Hog fans made the trip to Waco. If you came, you would be shocked. The building of the new football stadium will complete the process. Are we there yet? Not in the eyes of most Baylor fans. But we are closing the gaps at a pace faster than we could have imagined. Women's basketball, men's and women's tennis, softball and track are competing on the national level. Men's basketball has reached top 10 status. Football is in the top 20. Will football be poised to stay there? There will be plenty of questions answered next year. We've got plenty to replace, but the recruiting is vastly improved. Like the SEC, the schedule is tough. Returning to a third straight bowl would satisfy most fans for next year.

We messed up 20 years ago and paid the price. Today we are making the journey to where we want to be. Given a break here and there, Baylor is poised to be totally competitive in the Big 12 across the board in the years to come. THAT'S JUST THE COLD HARD FACTS.

Seriously ???

I looked at Baylor's schedule and laughed.

That would be TWO more wins needed.
We are not Arkie, it is spelled Arkansas... it is not that difficult.
Fans don't schedule games, FYI.
You are doing nothing but talking yourself.
Also, doesn't the SEC catch enough flack for scheduling too many cupcake games as it is?

Take your sorry attempt at trash talking elsewhere. Buh-bye!
