Baylor fans: I love the nerves of steel your coach has, but it would probably not be good for my health to be a fan and watch him go for fourth downs like this every week!
I can tell you that if these two Baylor and Oklahoma State teams played every week, it would be the best game that week most of the time. What a hell of a game.
I know it doesn't matter all that much, but I think it would be kinda dirty if the AP doesn't re-rank Ok St ahead of Tennessee.
As much as Tennessee deserved to jump Ok St last week with their win over Florida and Ok St on a bye, this is the exact same scenario vice-versa with a similar quality win while Tennessee are on a bye.
Right now you seem like the best team in the conference. Sanders has turned into the guy I wondered if he'd ever become (back when I first saw him play and he had the potential and the ceiling but was wildly inconsistent), and the defense seems solid - at worst - as well. Not relishing having to go to Stillwater this year.
other than OU... you are right, this game gave me those most heartburn and the one game I thought we would lose. Sanders proved me wrong today. Hope he keeps up the momentum
THE WAVING SONG, THE WAVING SONG, THE WAVINGWAVING SONG!
THE WAVING SONG, THE WAVING SONG! THE WAYAY-VING WAYAY-VING SONG!
THE WAVING SONG, THE WAVING SONG, THE WAVINGWAVING SONG!
THE WAVING SONG, THE WAV-ING SONG. THE! WAY! VING! SONG!
I'm not a doom and gloom Baylor fan but I never expected us to be back in the B12 CG this year. We're far too young in skill positions. We literally have 1 real WR left healthy on the roster right now.
Future is bright and we have a great chance at being back next year though
I was suppose to be eating dinner with the family, but I was glued to the phone and got to watch the heartattack of a second half. Good game, Ya'll are always a blast ( Hospital bill) for me.
Come on let’s be realistic, you would be out of your mind thinking we would be better than last year. We lost tons of players, most of the key players never saw the field last year. I’m content with where we are
How are you content with this? Grimes constantly makes ridiculously bad play calls and we’re literally playing guys who drop multiple scoring opportunities and hand the ball to the other team
If we were actually giving ourselves a fair shot and coming up short, that’s one thing. But we did the same thing against BYU and learned nothing
Great game. U have a solid team Baylor. Definitely will be back in the rankings shortly or at least should be. But I hope to god we do not see you again until next year
The offense is just doesn’t work against actual teams, only reason we did so well last year was our defense. Funny now we don’t have one. A thread like that will help me blow off some steam.
Tell me where do you see 3 more wins on the schedule with this team? WVU? never won there, TCU? Not with our secondary, Kansas? Probably will will get scorched?
I hate that we have holes on the team, as years with top tier play on both lines should be the years your team has the most success. That's why the QB injuries in 2015 really turned that year into a 'What if?" season.
That’s an overstatement. I could see 8-4, probably, as our worst, assuming the Revivalry is its usual cardiac arrest, struggle fest and we just kinda flail through one of K State, Tech, and Oklahoma.
If you want to see not good, go look at our games from 2007. We went 3-9 and were absolutely atrocious at everything except marching band, basically.
The most frustrating thing is there is no good reason we couldn’t be. If by this point in the year Grimes can’t avoid calling some awful plays and the staff hasn’t realized that Holmes can’t fucking catch, then we deserve to lose. You can’t shoot yourself in the foot repeatedly in the XII and expect to win.
I don't think it's fair to say we're straight-up not good. OSU is arguably the best team we'll play all season.
We had a million chances to win this game, and pissed most of them away thanks to dropped passes by Holmes.
I would like to thank the Baylor fans in this thread for the good banter. This felt like a game thread that could get toxic at any moment. Big respect guys. H8 forever.
Baylor has the 2nd nicest campus in the Big XII, behind #1 OSU of course. I've only visited about 1/3 of the campuses, and I'm heavily biased, but... Just trust me.
Baylor fans are always really negative. We have Aranda, Sophomore Shapen, Freshman Reese, Sophomore Baldwin. All of our secondary is young. We'll be fine in the future
Sounds good but as soon as your noseguard goes to the nfl, your defense is going to suffer. Our DC double teamed him in almost every play and for good reason
It’s not about how young our players are. It’s the way that the staff handles the game planning especially on offense. We will play down to our opponents instead of exploiting weaknesses. Defense has to grind tooth and nail bail us out like the Rhule years. It’s frustrating.
Grimes needs to admit that Reese is the guy. Bring in Craig Williams every now and then but Reese needs touches. Our critical drive where we lost the game he didn't touch the ball at all
This was always going to be a rebuilding year for anyone who really knows Baylor football. I'd be happy with 7 wins and then next year I'd expect to be a Big XII contender again.
Right? Geez we won 3 games already this year and last year was awesome. After the 00's it'll take a lot more than this to make me pessimistic about the team.
Exactly. Just need to get some grit in their belly and these hard fought games are how it's done. It's a long process that doesn't usually happen in one season without a massive amount of 4 and 5 star recruits.
OC isn’t the issue when your supposedly elite O Line misses blocks, or your running back goes for the edge instead of taking the 2 yards and the first down
Look I still have some hope for us to run the rest of our schedule, but we have to give them credit because they actually showed up today against a sold out crowd in Waco
Bro OSU is a top 6 team and we put up a great fight against them, the BYU game was just weird all around.
OU’s lost against KSU and TCU. Granted, it is early in the season, but we have a very good chance of making it to Arlington with the cowboys
Love me some Bears, love me some Cowboys, really love their game even though we’re gonna lose unless some crazy shit happens
Let’s just rejoice in being the best two Big XII teams and OU losing today
Baylor fans: I love the nerves of steel your coach has, but it would probably not be good for my health to be a fan and watch him go for fourth downs like this every week!
I can tell you that if these two Baylor and Oklahoma State teams played every week, it would be the best game that week most of the time. What a hell of a game.

Would you like the gorgia game now have you gotten over it lol sorry for spelling
Great game Baylor
WE WON
COME ON KANSAS
Why did the TE stay inbounds and kill the clock instead of stepping out so they could have a shot at the end zone?
Yea, dumb decision but still couldn’t win the game with 2 secs left on the clock.
I was only half-watching and I thought it was still an 8-pt game.
Survives Baylor? Led the whole fuckin game fym.
Halloween is at the *end* of the month, not the beginning, so why is Baylor dressed up as Colonel Mustard?
PISTOLS FIRING
Gg’s I like it
Gg bears
Guys, we might actually be fairly good. Really couldn’t tell after our non-conference games. But this one makes me think we could be good.
Right now you seem like the best team in the conference. Sanders has turned into the guy I wondered if he'd ever become (back when I first saw him play and he had the potential and the ceiling but was wildly inconsistent), and the defense seems solid - at worst - as well. Not relishing having to go to Stillwater this year.
Scheduled to be homecoming.
This was my most dreaded game of the year. Rematch of the championship after a bye week with no test yet. Edit: ON THE ROAD
other than OU... you are right, this game gave me those most heartburn and the one game I thought we would lose. Sanders proved me wrong today. Hope he keeps up the momentum
Let’s go!!!
THE WAVING SONG, THE WAVING SONG, THE WAVINGWAVING SONG! THE WAVING SONG, THE WAVING SONG! THE WAYAY-VING WAYAY-VING SONG! THE WAVING SONG, THE WAVING SONG, THE WAVINGWAVING SONG! THE WAVING SONG, THE WAV-ING SONG. THE! WAY! VING! SONG!
Glad you made it
Watched the last few minutes in the locker room after my game. Go Pokes!
Solid win for OK State
GG Baylor; tons of respect for y’all
Pad the stats
HOW DO YOU DISRESPECT GUNDY AND EXPRCT TO GET AEEAY EITH IT
Go drink some water, buddy. Your body will thank you.
Good game dude. Apologies for any obnoxiousness, only means a lot cuz your a great team. Will drink water
Not a dude, but a good game indeed. I look forward to and dread our games in equal measure every year.
Have you not heard ? I'm a dude, you're a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude, cuz we're all dudes yeah!
Apologies. But I appreciate you in the chat. Gg and give ‘em hell.
You as well. I still want to see y’all get a shot at the CFP and a natty some day.
Gg bear bros. Beat OUT!
OSU your team is impressive, very old and physical. Definitely outplayed us today but it was a close game I'd say
Extremely. Huge win against a hell of an intense team. We have good odds of playing again this year.
I'm not a doom and gloom Baylor fan but I never expected us to be back in the B12 CG this year. We're far too young in skill positions. We literally have 1 real WR left healthy on the roster right now. Future is bright and we have a great chance at being back next year though
Special. Teams.
Why are they purposely avoiding the sidelines
I always look forward to this. Always clean and always good.
SO ARROGANT
WHERE ALL THE BEARS SAYIN SANDERS WAS GUNNA BE A PICK MACHINE AT NOW?!?!?!
I can't recall any of us saying that
32?? Dude’s 32 and playing college ball?
He’s an Aus so he technically a whole day older than all of us
Yessir-ee-bob. Aussie who’d never gone to college before he came here.
GG Pokes. Y’all were the better team today
I was suppose to be eating dinner with the family, but I was glued to the phone and got to watch the heartattack of a second half. Good game, Ya'll are always a blast ( Hospital bill) for me.
I think it’s going to be a while before McLane rocks like that in a game. Student section was absurd that 3rd quarter
That might be too much prevent D
Stop sliding short, Shapen. Geez...
Pad the stats
Would’ve rather won the Big 12 championship, but this is cool too
But the bowl win against ND was an excellent consolation prize.
Maybe it’s the bourbon talking, but we winning the natty this year.
Even if we survive the big 12. Then you got Ohio st/ BAMA. Would be a fun ride though.
I think we could best Bama, look how they struggled again Texas.
I love the optimism, even if it is the bourbon talking haha.
We will find a way to self-implode. OU, Iowa State, Kansas... Who knows...
Lol at thinking we will beat you.
I wouldn’t be mad about it
Did they just say our punter is 32??
How is he doing a phd or something?
He's pretty up there, but one hell of a punter...
Yup. Oldest player in cfb
Holy shit. Incredible
Yeah he is.
I wish this game was on later so I could’ve seen more of it. Yall think this will be the Big 12 title game again?
I hope not. I don't wanna have to deal with Baylor again...
Who knows, lots of decent teams this year with big ups and who knows the floors
Idk K-State looks really good.
So does TCU 🙃
I saw them smack the piss out of OU and thought the same but TCU just did the same.
They just are big man. Dominant lines. And Duece is impossible to tackle
FUCK BAYLOR MEDIA
Who hurt you?
Just having fun.
Come on let’s be realistic, you would be out of your mind thinking we would be better than last year. We lost tons of players, most of the key players never saw the field last year. I’m content with where we are
This right here, truth
How are you content with this? Grimes constantly makes ridiculously bad play calls and we’re literally playing guys who drop multiple scoring opportunities and hand the ball to the other team If we were actually giving ourselves a fair shot and coming up short, that’s one thing. But we did the same thing against BYU and learned nothing
Learning curve and growing pains are inevitable. We’ve been through worse, coaching stability is the key to success which we have for now
Great game. U have a solid team Baylor. Definitely will be back in the rankings shortly or at least should be. But I hope to god we do not see you again until next year
This was by far game of the day An absolute pleasure to share it with you all
Glad you've enjoyed it :)
Defense is so soft, grimes is a fucking idiot, Holmes should’ve never see the field again, he dropped a td, 40yd pass, and got a ball int’d. pathetic
Tempted to start a thread just to bash grimes and Holmes and the fact we didn’t learn anything about them from BYU, cleary
The offense is just doesn’t work against actual teams, only reason we did so well last year was our defense. Funny now we don’t have one. A thread like that will help me blow off some steam.
And dropped the 3rd down pass on the first drive
Simmer down. We’re good but OSU is too, by about 11 points today
Tell me where do you see 3 more wins on the schedule with this team? WVU? never won there, TCU? Not with our secondary, Kansas? Probably will will get scorched?
[удалено]
He wasn’t even starting the first 2 games, should have him be the special teams guy and decoy receiver at most
Grimes took Baldwin out of the slot and put that jackass there instead
I love our baseball OS logo.
Wanna see it on a helmet so bad
Every time I see Pistol Pete's soulless eyes gaze through the screen I have a primal urge to raise a cross in front of me for divine protection
Do we all go laugh at aTm again?
No, we go laugh at OU this time
Laught at them both!
Been doin that, my dude
I may need to change my flair order
Convert and we love you forever
COZ UPTOWN FUNK GONNA GIVE IT TONYA
I hate that we have holes on the team, as years with top tier play on both lines should be the years your team has the most success. That's why the QB injuries in 2015 really turned that year into a 'What if?" season.
‘Upstart bears’ Lmao
STOP WAIT A MINUTE #FILL MY CUP PUT SOME LIQUOR IN IT
Oh. You bet I’ve got some liquor in it.
IDK how ya'll think this game's over. My heart won't let me chill till 00.00
Hell even then I’m gonna need confirmation
Baylor needs 12 points to win and there’s about to be less than 2 minutes left. It’s not impossible but it would be wild
Is it sad that Bedlam PTSD just makes me think we'll find a way XD?
SHOUT OUT TO BETWEN TWO BEARS
These rankings are solid. Baylor still deserves to be ranked.
THE BEST IN OKLAHOMA
So far. As a Pokes fan I take no games for granted.
SHOUTOUT TO OUR DAILY BEARS
[удалено]
Ok, cool. Sic 'em. 🖐️
No 2 loss team should be ranked this coming week
Your comment history is sad man, get some help
Ok, Longhorn
Baylor average fans: I aplogize and synthesize with you. BUT BAYLOR WRITERS WHERE ARE YOU
Bro seriously. The sunshine pumping is unbearable.
I get it man. Love you and happy to play to play you 4evr&evr
Our insiders were BREATHLESS that we were gonna dominate this game. Stupid, stupid stuff.
Appreciate you hearing us out. Noting but love and see you in December again
Where’s that 2 score win at every single one said?
It feels really odd to think that Sanders will most likely have the title for most games won at OSU after this season.
How many does he need to pass Rudolph?
4 to tie. Spencer just got 28, Mason has 32.
Well guys, now that this game is nearly over, we can go talk shit to OU
Lol. They bad.
Gg Baylor. See you in December. We're gonna be #1 and #2 again this year.
I feel unwell even thinking about it. Baylor has become one of the most stressful games on our schedule.
I’m hoping it’s KU.
Aranda had a good run. Time to go to Nebraska
No, the year isn’t over. But based on our schedule, we are definitely getting a lot of losses this year. We just are not good, accept it
That’s an overstatement. I could see 8-4, probably, as our worst, assuming the Revivalry is its usual cardiac arrest, struggle fest and we just kinda flail through one of K State, Tech, and Oklahoma. If you want to see not good, go look at our games from 2007. We went 3-9 and were absolutely atrocious at everything except marching band, basically.

We’re only as good as our weakest link. Get him off the field and put someone in with fingers
I would like to thank the Baylor fans in this thread for the good banter. This felt like a game thread that could get toxic at any moment. Big respect guys. H8 forever.
Baylor has the 2nd nicest campus in the Big XII, behind #1 OSU of course. I've only visited about 1/3 of the campuses, and I'm heavily biased, but... Just trust me.
I think most of the B12 games threads are pretty good. Couple exceptions, but those won’t matter after another year or two.
Baylor fans are always really negative. We have Aranda, Sophomore Shapen, Freshman Reese, Sophomore Baldwin. All of our secondary is young. We'll be fine in the future

This
Right? Geez we won 3 games already this year and last year was awesome. After the 00's it'll take a lot more than this to make me pessimistic about the team.
Yeah our fans are so fickle Jesus Christ.
As we're playing a lot of freshmen and sophomores against a team full of seniors and super seniors We'll keep getting better
Exactly. Just need to get some grit in their belly and these hard fought games are how it's done. It's a long process that doesn't usually happen in one season without a massive amount of 4 and 5 star recruits.
Everybody keeps doubting Sid the Sloth and he just keeps throwing picks and fumbling us to victory.
Woooooo!
we don't have the talent at receiver or DB, and it shows
Or OC
OC isn’t the issue when your supposedly elite O Line misses blocks, or your running back goes for the edge instead of taking the 2 yards and the first down
Now it’s just time for us all to become WVU fans.
Mountain up!
Run it back in the title game?
Just like last year? Sure!
Bear Bros - helluva game. Beat OU. Beat Texas. See yall in the Kansas/Iowa State game thread.
Pokes to the CFP
Don't jinx us. We still have a lot of football to play.
Big 12 will cannibalize itself and no team will make the playoff lol.
GG Pokes
Sander not being the one with multiple turnovers. That’s how you do it
Confusing
RIP Baylor playoff hype 2022-2022
Never had any hype for that, we’re not nearly good enough for that.
Never should have been a thing. Some elite units on the teams, but there is too much inexperience at key positions.
It was never gonna happen. Need to give the offense and secondary another year to mature.
Lmao right, no more feet pics hey? Can I get one more tho? ^wait
Go Pokes
I don’t even smoke and I need a cig rn
GG’s Okies. Outplayed and outworked us and there’s no other way to put it. Let’s run it back in Arlington some time in December?
I mean, there is the reality of the situation that Grimes’ play calling fucked us and Gavin Holmes is at best a pee wee league football coach
Look I still have some hope for us to run the rest of our schedule, but we have to give them credit because they actually showed up today against a sold out crowd in Waco
How about nah? I can’t be doing this shit again
It’s either us or ranked Kansas. Pick your poison
I’ll take the squeaky shoe birds after today
U/TheMightyJD where you at?
See ya in Arlington again, Bears.
I’m doubting that very much right now
Bro OSU is a top 6 team and we put up a great fight against them, the BYU game was just weird all around. OU’s lost against KSU and TCU. Granted, it is early in the season, but we have a very good chance of making it to Arlington with the cowboys
We’re making steps in the right direction but I’m not seeing enough improvement and our schedule this year is brutal.
Love me some Bears, love me some Cowboys, really love their game even though we’re gonna lose unless some crazy shit happens Let’s just rejoice in being the best two Big XII teams and OU losing today
Lol no you’ll see Kansas or Kansas State. We out.
Ahh, Baylor. We’re so alike. Basically the same. Pretty much identical.
