caught lightning in a jar with this season. They have an awesome QB and some special receivers and a great running back.

RGIII's only distractions were blowing the KSU game with what I believe was his first interception of the year at the end to allow KSU a win. Then the loss to A&M and an absolute blowout by OSU. All three of those losses were on the road and I think possibly back to back to back.

They were undefeated at home but caught OU with major injuries, Tech with half the team missing due to injuries and UT missing their two best running backs.

Nevertheless, for a team like Baylor to be 9-3 with their closing wins and the way RGIII won against OU and UT gets my vote.

Personally I'd like to see some of this rub off on Kentucky or Vandy or hell, even Moo State. Makes things much more interesting.

I have no doubt if RGIII doesn't return OU will blow them away as will UT but they'll be missing their biggest rival, A&M. No more chance for the Bears in that one.

But Baylor released a rendering of a new stadium

Even though they haven't raised the money to build it

Drayton McLane has already promised $150 million. Baylor's rich as hell, raising the cash isn't that big of a problem.

If they do build a stadium, it will be the House RGIII Built.

Well you can be rich as he'll, but if you don't give a shite about sports it does not matter

That's why all of their facilities suck

I've been super impressed with RGIII.

Well, we all know your school is a whore to Boone and you have the upgrades to prove it.

At least at SEC schools you don't have to sell yourselves to a pimp unless you're auburn.

So all of Baylor's facilities suck? Ever been on the campus? Not as big as LSU's facilities, but NICE baseball and softball complexes. Ferrell Center is a decent basketball venue. I guess I've missed LSU's rowing complex on the river. Floyd Casey only seats 50,000 and they don't have an indoor football complex. But I certainly would not say that Baylor facilities suck.

Huh? I'm pretty sure Pickens bleeds Orange and Black, so it's not necessary for Oklahoma State to sell their souls to get his money. And it's the same with Oregon and Phil Knight.

Baylor has great facilities, but a crappy off-campus stadium. Their basketball stadium is also merely par, but their football/softball complex is remrkable. They have awesome tennis and track facilities, and they've invested a ton in their internal workout facilities for varsity athletes.

There's a reason Baylor is third in Big 12 titles in all sports among current members (aside from A&M leaving) -- Baylor has great facilities for all of their sports save football. Getting a football stadium would simply be the lst step of the refurb. And Baylor's whole Athletic Department is actually quite good. It's just their football team that has sucked.
