Baylor is just plain embarrassing for all of us

I am so sick of Baylor in a lot of ways but they are just plain embarrassing as a representative of the Big 12. It's bad enough that they pissed and moaned for weeks last year between the end of the season and the bowl game about how the Big 12 Championship isn't fair and how they deserve to be in the playoff only to bend over in the 2nd half of the Cotton Bowl and lose on a very big stage. They are without a doubt the most delusional fan base in the country. They have 0 perspectives on where they stand in the pecking order of CFB and even less respect for where they have come from. They want instant respect because they have managed to string together a couple of decent seasons. They can't win a bowl game when they play anyone outside of the Big 12 but we won't talk about that.

Unfortunately for the Big 12, Game Day chose Waco as their destination this week. Will Baylor have some class and dignity and have signs that do something other than bitch about the playoff and TCU? Absolutely not. In a brilliant move, there is now a Facebook campaign by the Baylor faithful to boycott ESPN and replace them with Fox Sports because ESPN is bias and only concerned about their own ratings and money. Great timing guys! I'm sure ESPN will be thrilled to see this the week they come to town! So I guess you won't be attending the Game Day broadcast or be watching when the show is at your school? The best one of the 3 action items was "complain about the ESPN playoff committee until Baylor is in the top 4." LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! Just pathetic! This is everything wrong with Baylor and their fans. Don't take care of business on the field, we need to complain about ESPN and the committee and get in that way. You really think that ESPN and the committee give a damn about what Baylor wants or thinks? I assure you that if every current and former student from Baylor stopped watching ESPN, it wouldn't even register on the meter! Why on earth do you think you are entitled to any kind of respect and benefit of a doubt? Maybe they don't want to put you in the top 4 because they want a team that won't lay another egg in a big bowl game? Maybe they don't want to put you in the top 4 because your coach is such a whinny looser? Maybe they don't want to put you in the top 4 because no one is impressed with you playing one of the worst schedules in the country? I don't know for sure but those seem like some pretty good reasons to me.

Baylor and their fans have taken on the personality of their coach which is unfortunate and is embarrassing for everyone in the Big 12. Baylor hasn't EARNED any respect and they will continue to be on the outside looking in for a while and unfortunately for Baylor, most college football fans will applaud your exclusion. The day that Baylor goes back to being the Baylor everyone knew for so long is a step forward for the Big 12 and college football. Give me solid programs with a history of winning when it matters. Remember Stoops talking serious trash about the SEC and then backing it up? Remember Texas’ run through the early and mid 2000’s? Remember TCU going into the Rose Bowl against a talented Wisconsin team and winning as the underdog that no one wanted? Did anyone in Waco see the Peach Bowl last year? Remember when Baylor won…

Baylor as a "winning program" does nothing for the conference because they just have little to no respect nationally. Sorry Baylor but you are what you are and once you get outside of Waco people automatically roll their eyes when you bring up Baylor football. Just the way it is. Earn your respect, don’t complain and cry your way into what you wish you were. Stay classy Waco!
