“I’m very proud of our seniors,” Baylor coach Art Briles said. “Not only for what they have done today, but for what they have done for the past 11 months since we stepped on campus in December. I can honestly say that not one of them has been late, missed any practices or any meetings since last December. To me, that’s a great sign of hope and leadership.”
Seniors left and right
Briles put in a new play this week especially for his seniors.
“We called it seniors left and seniors right,” Baylor senior running back Jacoby Jones said. “All the seniors lined up on the left side or the right side. We got some good production on that play today.”
With 269 yards rushing, the Bears picked up their most ever in a Big 12 game.
Jay Finley led the way with 116 yards on 23 carries, while quarterback Robert Griffin picked up 56. Jones finished with 54 yards on eight carries and rushed for two touchdowns for the first time in his career.
Briles’ way to cap off victory
Briles has a tradition of throwing his cap into the stands to Baylor’s students after wins.
“I write my name on the cap with the date and score,” Briles said. “I don’t know what they do with it. They might give it to their uncle.”
Baylor breaks ground
Groundbreaking for the Jay and Jenny Allison Indoor Football Practice Facility was held Saturday morning.
Jay, a three-time Baylor football letterman, and Jenny provided the lead gift for the facility, which is expected to be completed next August in time for preseason practice.
“The name of this facility is critical because of what it stands for,” Briles said. “Jay and Jenny are great Christians, great parents and great friends. This facility is a tremendous honor for me and the program as we continue the Baylor tradition.”
Having witnessed multiple times the obnoxious taunting many Aggies participate in when they win sure makes it fun to read the whining comments of their supporters when they get their tails throroughly kicked like they did last Saturday. I hope "beating the h---" out of the Aggies becomes the norm for the Bears in the future years as well. Sic 'em Bears!!!!!!!
Don't talk about class and then proceed to whine and wallow all over the place....You said "Baylor sucks" and that, by implication, is just as bad, if not worse, than me telling you where to stick your thumb.....Come on aggie, quit the whining and take your loss like a man and let Baylor celebrate a victory....
Good job Trib Staff. Starting this week with an improved BAYLOR/Big 12 PODcast, that was truly Baylor first and then Big 12 coverage, it set the tone for a great week. I know you guys work like 7 days a week, and Sunday's is probably your biggest day off. I would just like to see one blog added to what you already do.........the day after blog entry. I think that would be cool. It might take like 10-15 minutes, but I think it would be a cool touch. And now that I know you guys listen to the voice of the people, I'm going to put that one little suggestion in there and that will be all for this year. Good work this season guys!, keep it up and I hope you keep the POD casts going through the Big 12 championship and Big12 coverage in bowl games.
You can always count on an Aggie whining about class after they lose. Pooooor oversensitive Aggies. You can dish it out but you can't take it. Here's a couple of tips on class: 1. Yelling "Beat the hell outta [opponent]" is not classy. 2. Running up the score to 73-10 is not classy.
Hey Fred don't you have anything better to do like uncover the conspiracy behind the alledged moonlanding or that Waco City Council was the real masterminds behind the 9/11?
BEARS MAUL AGGIES

You know, my grandaddy always said, "When you throw a rock into a pack of dogs the first one hit will yelp." Smart man, my grandaddy.
I think collies are dogs, right?

hjames, you shouldn't tell the Aggies to take it like a man, that would involve farm animals for them which paints an all too distrubing picture.
Enjoy reaping what you sow farmers!!
Sic'em Bears!!!

Great job Baylor Bears! The team dominated everything: Defense, Offense and special teams! We even saw so razzle dazzle!
That long drive really killed the maroons. What abou the time of possession? A whopping MORE than a Quarter than the farmers had it!!!
That really euthanized 'em... Large Baylor crowd too! --and supportive!
Thanks Coach Briles and staff! This is one to build on.
