I did a tour of TCU back in 2014, and the tour guide stated they want to remove the "Christian" from the name because it was no longer a religious university and it is a truly diverse student body with people of all faiths.

I wonder if BYU will put up the B12 flags this year

I wonder when the budding BYU-Baylor bromance goes south

once one of us beats the other over a controversial call

LeonMarek

4/28/22 10:23am

As soon as we beat them at something. Hope it doesn't take too long

Soupie

I don’t think it will. It seems like there is an underlying mutual admiration…

Agree we are both faith based universities

BaylorBear

4/28/22 11:01am

Which honestly surprises me. I was under the impression Baptists didn’t like us

Agree 100 percent Colonel!!

Hopefully they recognize we are an ally in the larger picture

Let’s beat them in a major sport and see how it goes…

Good question. All honeymoons end eventually.

It's like when both teams' cheerleaders hold hands and cheer together at halftime.

I sure hope we can have positive relationships with all our new conference members

When they install the BIGXII logos on the Marriott Center Floor is when I will

Meant for OP

One wonders what they sent the 3 other new conference members.

NewMexiCoug

4/28/22 10:56am

Most likely nothing yet. This was hung in the visiting AD booth when we played there last fall. They just gave it to us

My hope is that with Baylor the group prayer becomes tradition and

Thats no fun. Football is better when BYU is hated.

But just to remove any doubt....the utes STILL suck!

That's what we got in the Lohner trade?

DirtyWater

4/28/22 10:25am

I'm hoping for a FB win as trade.

Soupie

4/28/22 10:32am

that is cool of Baylor though...I was not expecting that

Baylor also was very welcoming to our team in waco

4/28/22 10:27am

most interactions ive had with B12 members have been very positive

LeonMarek

4/28/22 10:29am

Too bad they weren't a little more welcoming after the kickoff.

I've said this before

royalwalrus

I agree. I was at the game

Is that Grimes’ work?

Nat Gas Man

4/28/22 10:28am

Man i completely forgot about that link. I’m sure that will help keep relations

ColonelMustard

What are they offering for Fous?

BYUMizzou

4/28/22 10:29am

I ain't giving them Fous for anything less than their 2021 natty

I recall when they came to the Marriott Center for basketball in December 2011

So far we've given them an OC, A football W, and Lohner. So I guess the feeling

Lavell had a great relationship with Grant Teaff who coached at Baylor for

Teaff was a vocal proponent of the ‘84 team

Not gonna lie, I think they love having another private Christian university in

PrimeQuantumDeek

The words TCU and Christian are sadly 10,000 miles apart

Zoobieman

I thought the official name was just TCU

Nat Gas Man

4/28/22 12:31pm

Not necessarily, they have just asked the media to not use the Christian, as in

basman

4/28/22 12:36pm

TCU has distanced itself from its religious roots in the last couple decades.

SMU is no longer controlled by the Methodists.

I would love Baylor as a rival as long as they continue to clean up the programs

vagabonder

4/28/22 12:26pm

Clean up what?

Sic'Em Beers

4/28/22 12:44pm

vagabonder is still living in 2016, apparently.

That is great to hear, I will probably make Baylor one of the first Big12 road

So we traded a BB player for the sign?

Cougarpride

4/28/22 3:39pm

The sign has a higher 3pt %

PrimeQuantumDeek

4/28/22 3:48pm

All they give us is that? After we gave them Jeff Grimes, Eric Mateos, and Caleb
