Baylor did not play well but Texas State is a good team.
The Oline was disjointed. The Oline has 4 new starters and is still learning.
The Dbacks played poorly. The defense was the biggest surprise to him. He thought they would play better on defense.
Robertson (new QB) looked good in the spring and he pushed the starter. He has had a lot of snaps in practice. Tall guy with a strong arm.
He thinks that Baylor will try to run and they need to be able to do it to be successful. They have two solid RBs.
Tight ends are prominent in the offense. They will play 4 tight ends. They have some big-play WRs.
The only returning starter in the secondary is injured and won’t play.
Randolph a key defensive player is also injured.
Everybody is excited about the Big 12’s aggressive expansion. He likes the commissioner. He hopes the Utah fans enjoy Waco.
The Big 12 does not have a lot of big cities. They have more college-town locations. The teams are the only game in town so they get a lot of support. Most teams in the conference sell out.
Rudy’s BBQ is a great location to eat. Georges restaurant is a great place to eat and drink.
Baylor has great respect for Utah and Whitt. Ludwig’s son is a GA at Baylor.

Houston, Phoenix, Orlando, Cincinatti, Denver, Tucson, Salt Lake… There are some bigger towns in the Big 12 going forward.

Yes, but he was referring to the old Big 12 schools. It is true that the new Big 12 have a number of big city schools like the ones you mentioned.

Dallas-Fort Worth being the largest.

“Try to run..”
Good luck.

He hopes the Utah fans enjoy Waco.
That’s a big ask.

ProudUteParticipant
I know nothing about Waco, but I don’t want to be the fanbase that trashes our conference’s towns. It makes us look like we think we are better than them.

I know nothing about Waco
My point exactly…

EagleMountainUteParticipant
Well Waco wouldn’t be my cup of tea. I don’t really miss living in the Salt Lake though. Miami would be about the last place I would want to live. It all comes down to preferences of course.
I have always wanted to visit Miami and eat Cuban food.-
The Miami UteParticipant
Where do you live? Not Eagle Mountain? Miami’s not my cup of tea either. Left there over 30 years ago at the earliest opportunity and haven’t missed it one bit. It’s great for a week long visit but that’s about it.

EagleMountainUteParticipant
I like Eagle Mountain. I used to be dead set against living in Utah County. I think you can manage to live anywhere with enough cope. I pay taxes. I am quiet. The desert is close enough for me to get away.
If I had a retirement dream place to live it would be Coeur d’Alene or somewhere in Washington in the Columbia gorge area.

Can’t think of one city in the Big12 I wouldn’t rather visit than Pullman or Palo Alto. Won’t miss paying $100 just to park to go to a stadium that is 3/4 empty either.

I think the original Big-12 sites are great sites for college football. Small towns, sure, but the population doubles in each on Saturdays in the fall, and there are few commuter students so they’re tailgating and attending games because that’s all there is to do on game day. The stadiums, even in Manhatten, KS, are nearly the same capacity as RES. Big-12 will lose the 80,000 and 100,000 seat stadiums of OU and Texas, respectively, though.
Baylor 45,140
Kansas 47,233
KSU: 50,000
TCU 50,000
OkState: 55,509
ISU 61,500 -

Waco is a great place to visit. Leave whatever misconceptions you have behind, because it’s not just sage brush and cults.
There is some great food to be had. Besides my love for Rudy’s BBQ, you’ll want to checkout the Route 77 Food Park, Farmer’s Daughter, Milo All-Day (for the GF folk).
Taking your wife (or yourself) to Gaines’ Magnolia Market at the Silos will be a big win and encourage more road trips. The Dr. Pepper Meusem is a fond memory, but I hear it has gone down a tad in quality. I also recommend visiting the Branch Davidian compound site at least once if you visit. (There’s other message boards to discuss this part of US history further)
To me, Baylor is the B12’s Oregon-lite than TDS-lite.
