Curious. Lol

New Coach said “don’t diminish the brand any further, please.” Lol

Didn’t matter last year and the reveal this year was a thousand times better.

What were they supposed to look like this year? Those ones last year were ugly as sin. Pun intended.

Cream colored with red lettering. Same font and design.

So I've seen people turning their nose up at Drew becasue he's too much of a man of faith. Good call. Lets do a little research on Drew and Baylor shall we:

In 20 seasons at Baylor:

-Has 171 more wins than next winningest coach Henderson who coached in '41-'43 and '45-'61 (18 seasons)

-Before Drew arrived Baylor had made the tournament exactly 4 times. 3 of those with the aforementioned coach Henderson (46, 48 and 50)

-Since Drew arrived they have made it 12 times. 3 times more than the history of the program

-He's made it to:

Rd32 9x

S16 5x

E8 3x

FF 1x

Title 1x

-This was all done after taking over a program left for dead, no pun intended, and already having no history or athletic support. Remember the team had just had a player murder another player before Drew took over.

But he likes Jesus too much so we can't be having that. Good grief people.

 

This is going to sound judgmental, but I can’t take anyone who would be unhappy with Drew seriously. Not after how bad we have been for so long.

@IUFAN1976 we dodged a bullet on having to wear the alternate uniforms.

Wow, that was a close call!  They actually looked like baby puke!!!  I didn’t read the article but maybe others felt the same way we did!

Well, we didn’t look like we were doing Tron cosplay at least. Last year’s design in true cream and crimson actually looked kinda cool.

I’d recommend today’s episode of Mind Your Banners if you’d like an optimistic look at why the job is attractive, and todays episode of CrimsonCast for Evan’s of Cronin, Drew, Brownell, and McCollum.

The debate is over unless it is these candidates according to Copilot AI! Lol

The ones this year were an eye sore. Better than last year's but those were ugly as sin so it could get much worse.

I thought he handled a situation where a player was shot or shot somebody? Foggy memory

Pretty sure it was a murder, and Drew took over after the murder when the program was in shambles.

Dan Hurley?

You also have to figure in, that if Dolson really wanted May that bad, he would have fired Woody and hired him last year. Not saying he doesn’t have interest in May but the fact that he risk losing him, and it appears he did lose him, tells me he felt he would have better options at the end of this season….

I could be wrong, but I thought someone said last year that Buckner didn't think there was anything special about Dusty as a coach (or something like that).

After the track uniforms they have us for UCLA... Probably wasn't a good time to break out something fans hated last year, even if they changed the color.

I don't think anyone stated his religious preferences were a reason not to hire him. Rather, he and his family are in a likely optimal spot at Baylor and *they* might not want to go to IU.

The only complaint against Drew is the loosely factual scenario where he (maybe?) threatened Hanner Parea with deportation if he didn't go to Baylor.

And just our luck he didn't go to Baylor.
