I don't hate baylor. What's the use of it?
SoonerinabileneOh sweet jesus. Its like watching the special olympics in high definition on here now.
I want Baylor to get better. I hope they beat at least all their non conference team opponents, and it wouldn't bother me any if they beat Texas and oSu, for that matter.
Me...I'm saving all all my hate for Texas.
Whorn fans will ask you why it isn't called:
Stadium of Baylor
Looks like a great place to watch a game when the sun is up.

What exactly does that have to do with Baylor fixing to be a bottom dweller again?
Lets look at the last ten years (2002-2011). Sure not a lot of data, but it gives a good idea....
Overall record: 46-74 (0.3833)
(all losing seasons except for 2010 and 2011)
Current Stadium Capacity: 50,000
Average attendance: 35,041
Average Capacity %: 70.08%
2010: Record: 7-6
2010: Average Attendance: 40,064
2010: Average Capacity %: 80.13%
2011: Record: 10-3
2011: Average Attendance: 41,368
2011: Average Attendance: 82.74%
Even in the best two seasons that Baylor has had since 1985 (9-3) and 1986 (9-3) they cannot even get close to selling out their current stadium.
I understand with them averaging 35,041 in attendance per game the last 10 years would put them at a capacity crowd of 77.87% in that new stadium.
They just lost the best football player in Baylor history....they are about to drop right back to their normal 4-8 seasons.....so they can build a brand new stadium all they want....wont change the fact that they will still have a very tough time selling out!
Isn't that what plenty of sideline observers said when T. Boone built the new shrine to aggie-dom in Stillwater?
And guess what? Baylor is already a good team. They even beat us.
If Baylor builds a state-of-art facility, it is going to help them. End of story.
Will they end up owning the Big 12? Probably not, but if they end up being good enough to beat us 3x per decade, and Texas a couple of times as well, it will be worth it to them.
Nebraska and Oklahoma made up one of the greatest college football rivalries of all time. They played every year between 1928-97, and two times every four years since then. Their games in the Big Eight decided the conference championship 16 of 19 times between 1970-88. OU leads the series 44-38-3. --The Associated Press, December 1, 2010
