How Great Thou ART...

I'm a HUGE Baylor fan... much to the chagrin of most of my friends and family. We've taken our lumps in the Big 12 since it began in 1996. However, across the board, we're competitive (if not champions) in most sports. And last year, in men's basketball, we had a great team that made it to the NCAA Tournament! Sic Em!

But alas, when you're in the Big 12, football is what matters. And yes, we haven't done a very good job of taking care of what matters. When we were in the old Southwest Conference, we were typically in the top 3 teams... not the cellar dwellars of today. It kills me that we've only won 11 conference games since 1996.

So here we go again... hired a new coach. His name is Art Briles, and I have a feeling he just might turn things around. He comes from the University of Houston, and he is extremely positive and has a penchant for producing champions.

A recent article was posted in the Tulsa newspaper. I thought I'd share with everyone why we're all hoping ART will be our next "Grant Teaff."
