To be fair Shawn Oakman was innocent it was false accusation

watching this in 2019 and theyre undefeated lmao

Fast forward to 2019 they are 7-0 with a potential to be 9-0 and play oklahoma at home.❕❕

I think Matt Rhule is the right coach to bring Baylor back up. Sure he went 1-11 last season, but Baylor was in some games. Liberty was a 3 point loss (To be fair Liberty was out to make a statement as it was their first game as an FBS transition program); UTSA was a 7 point loss, Oklahoma was a 7 point loss, and West Virginia was a 2 point loss. Remember he went an abysmal 2-10 his first year at Temple, but his last two seasons (was there for four) he won 10 games. And seeing as he's already suspended three players for a few games shows he's exactly what they need to hold the players accountable.

The 2018 season was amazing considering that we went from 1-11 to 7-6

Watching this video as we complete the season at 11-1, you really love to see it

Who’s here in 2019 when they’re in the Sugar Bowl and ranked #7

Do one on Houston. They’re in an interesting and somewhat unfortunate position where no one wants them to join a P5 conference for fear of losing recruits to them (allegedly), and every time time they seem to strike gold with a coach, they’re picked off by other P5 programs (ex. Briles to Baylor, Sumlin to A&M, Herman to TX).

Great video but you forgot to mention how Baylor won that athletic bowl running an offense with no actual qb and also stidham got hurt too! Just shows what potential they had before they squandered it

One of the best up and coming KZfaq channels

The Fall of Texas Football

I love your succinct and straight forward style. It’s all about the content and not about you and showing off how much you know. I’ve subbed to your channel man. I hope to see more great work coming from you

Are you going to add anything about how the "investigation" by Pepper Hamilton was paid for by the Board of Regents? Or that it's been determined that the football staff handled things how they were instructed? Or that Baylor University released a letter to any potential employers of Coach Briles stating that he had been found to have done nothing wrong? It's a nice summary video, but those details matter when looking at the "downfall" and who is actually responsible.

Nice video! The reason Art Briles was a short time college assistant is because his winning reputation was already formed in the state of Texas. As a high school coach he reached legendary status by consistently winning state titles in Stephenville, near Ft. Worth. I wouldn’t say Houston was, “desperate,” by hiring him. He was going to be hired by someone soon.

The Fall of UCLA football The Rise of Colorado Football

If Art Briles was still there at Baylor would be extremely relevant and dangerous. I’m at die hard Longhorns fan but I was happy when Baylor was competitive and even could have won a national title back in 2014 before injuries to there QB. Still love the Bears 🐻 though and hopefully they get another good head coach.

Strange seeing the history of my school while I’m here. Good video though. 61-58 ALWAYS THO!

I just found your youtube a few days ago and im obsessed with your vids

Thank you for the video essay on the team. As a fan it is very tough to see the extreme peaks and valleys the team has gone through. But hopefully we will climb again, sic'em bears!

Love your work dude! As a huge Kansas Jayhawk fan I would love to you do something on Bill Self/Kansas during basketball season!

these videos, both the rise of and downfall of series, are awesome! I would love to see more this stuff really interests me

I was wondering about this, great video and We Are!

Keep it up, man. I'm absolutely loving these videos. You're definitely a rising KZfaq must watch channel

I see you brotha, great video.... your chanell is growing at a great rate....I love it!!!

As someone from Waco, watching RG3 in college was the most fun ive ever had watching a sporting event

Great vid, but you forgot to talk about how good Baylor’s receivers were. The had Antwan Goodley, Corey Coleman (future first round pick) and KD Cannon to help them out 😉

Love your videos bro please keep it up

I remember when Baylor and Ohio State we’re back to back a few years ago

Just found your channel and Ive already subbed! Just fantastic well thought out football videos! Keep it up!

Love these videos! You should start a website and social media for college sports or football and post articles. I think you would grow very quickly. If you were to do that I would love to write for your website!

You have a great KZfaq channel because very little focus is given to college football elsewhere in the sports & entertainment world. Usually it's all NFL, NFL, NFL-- which I loathe nowadays. I've noticed that lately, I'm not alone in my disgust of the NFL in recent years either. So please keep the channel's focus on college football. You've found the correct market to explore and develop! I have a video suggestion for you as I've looked online for videos and articles on this subject and have found nothing anywhere. Be the first to address this subject. Do a video on "The Decline of Notre Dame Football". Explain to us how what used to be the greatest CFB program of all time can no longer make that claim with Alabama having slungshot past them; how what was once the most prestigious CFB school in America has become an afterthought nationally with zero appeal among elite high school recruits these days. I remember back when I was growing up Notre Dame was universally considered the #1 greatest CFB program historically. That's not the case anymore. It really isn't even just Alabama who's surpassed them in historical greatness either. Virtually all major sports outlets now consider these rankings the greatest programs of all time list : 1. Alabama 2. Ohio State 3. Oklahoma 4. Notre Dame 5. USC Explain how this whole process of gradually diminishing the ND brand has played out over the past 30 years to lead us to where we are today. Thanks.

Honestly one of the most quality smaller channels I’ve seen. Keep it up

Dude, this is the exact content I’ve been looking for! I feel like college football is such an incredible and varied genre for content, but I feel like it goes largely ignored. As a Baylor fan, I’m glad you were able to document Baylor’s rise accurately and it makes me happy to know other people can learn about our team’s rise from the bottom. I also think you handled the topic of the sexual assaults with grace and dignity and I commend you for that. Keep up the good work man!

lolll you just took my hype vid and scaled in to remove the baylor watermarks. it's all good. glad it was good enough to make your video

It's now 2021. We lost Matt Rhule to the Carolina Panthers (good for him, he deserves the recognition). Now we have Dave Aranda. We are 7-1 and ranked 16. Talk about a wild few years, but the future is looking bright!

Everybody: nobody knows what Baylor is right now Me: I know what they are 7-0

Keep up these awesome videos dude, you just earned a subscriber

I love you channel man, you do a great job. The one thing you mentioned, that I don't necessarily agree with is your take on recruiting in the state of Texas. It might be some what of a challenge for Baylor to compete with Texas, Texas A&M, and Texas Tech in recruiting from an outside perspective, however the insane amount of talent within the state of Texas makes Baylor much better off than most. The best blue-chip talent states from 2013-19 State Blue-chips, 2013-19 National share FL 337 15.3% TX 321 14.6% CA 295 13.4% GA 221 10.0% OH 104 4.7% LA 101 4.6% AL 83 3.8% NC 78 3.5% VA 72 3.3% TN 67 3.0% PA 60 2.7% NJ 58 2.6% MS 57 2.6% MD 53 2.4% MI 51 2.3% **Certainly gives some perspective as to why the Pac 12 has fallen off the map. Besides CA there's no talent out there. Keep the vids coming! Like I said, love you content

The Fall of Nebraska Needs to happen

I'm a guelfi firenze player, the team briles will coach this year in italy. I hope coach briles will lead us to a rise like baylor.

I dig your videos man. You seem like you're one of the next real up and coming KZfaqrs.

You have to do "THE MAN" Mike Gundy - The Dude went his 1st 7 season winning more or equal games as the previous season, culminating in a 12-1 season. He has won 10 or more games in 6 of his 13 seasons at OKST in a Division with OU-Texas-TCU-BAYLOR !!!!!!!! He as been to 12 Bowl games in 13 seasons. DUDE IS A BEAST

A family member of mine went to Baylor for school in 2009 right before things got good and I watched them heavily until they fell off, was fun to see

I saw the suggest comment on this it sounded cool and you did it AWESOME

Love the videos, could you do one on LSU?

Wow this popped up in my recommended and I’m glad I did this is a great video and scrolling through the comments I will have to watch more of your videos since you make a lot of videos like this

The Rise of Wisconsin football The Rise of Boise State football The Fall of Nebraska football The Fall of Tennessee football

We're going BOWLING BABY. Sic em Bears.

People are still remembering the 50's, 60's 70 before the scholarship rules. Then the same few rich teams where always the best. It just doesn't work that way anymore. We went through Notre Dame, Nebraska, Tennessee, USC, Miami et. al. ad nauseum, since then. They all will come back, and fall again. It makes it much more fun.

love your videos, keep it up man

The Art days made being from Waco and supporting Baylor feel like we were something. I loved it and I still do. Regardless of the downfall of some stupid players.

This is a great channel. Can you do what happened to Florida once urban left

Solid video I wondered how their recruiting rankings were and rg3 would have made Texas fall off not as soon

What font do you use for your thumbnails?

Keep it up youre gonna pass 100k subs soon

NOTIFICATION GANG!! YOU’RE MY FAVORITE KZfaqR

Love these videos big dawg! Keep em coming! Got a sub from me

I got to Baylor in 2015 and watched the whole thing unfold. It was sad, but not nearly as sad as it was for the girls who got assaulted. People were mad at Briles but not nearly as mad as they were at the school president, Ken Starr, for how he handled the situation. All said I think it was for the best that the president, coach, players, and others involved were let go to give the school a chance to get its reputation back.

Rise and Fall and Rise of Auburn

As a Baylor fan I hated that the scandal happened but what I hate more is when other fanbases in the big12 use the scandal as a crutch for an insult shows they have no class

Great video man! I didnt realize how short lived their success actually was

u make my day bro keep it up

Soon you will be doing the rise the fall and rise again of Baylor football

The downfall of SMU football is one of the most scandalous and tragic stories in college football. Most people don't know about it because it happened a while ago, but SMU's program got shot in the head in the mid 80s and has never recovered. Its a very interesting story, and I would highly recommend watching the pony express documentary if you end up making a video on it.

video! Very entertaining! You deserve more subs and views.

Damn bro u blew up fast, I can only wish for 4K subs

Art Briles now coaches for Mt. Vernon High School. We play them this week. They’ve already gotten in trouble because they brought 2 kids from Colorado for athletic purposes only.

the difference making players that were there then, came due primarily to the offense they ran, (THAT WAS AN EXCITING OFFENSE TO WATCH) and they always seemed to have dynamic receivers, I don't know if Rhule runs that type of offense or is more conventional, but if his style of offense is conventional, you'll never see that again, unless they are trying to run a dynamic offense then there's a chance.

Please do a video on the rise of TCU football. I think its impressive how far the program has come.

RG3 is like Babe Ruth. Texas has the "Curse of the RG3". Texas could have had RG3 but because of arrogance passed on him, as a result............................ Texas's last 7 years has seen 1 season with more than 8 wins, 3 Head Coaches, wasted tons of talent(8-9 5* recruits) , and hovered between the 3rd or 4th best team in the State of Texas. Texas needs to pay RG3 some money so he will break the Curse. TRUTH BOMB !!!!!!!!!!!

USC fan here. I remember starting to hear about Baylor around 2010 and I started watching games between 2011-2016. I couldn't believe how they were just trucking over people. I really enjoyed them steamrolling UCLA in the holiday bowl lol. Problem was their defenses were almost as bad as their offenses were good. Fight On!

I’m a student at Baylor and many of us are hopeful about this upcoming season; I don’t think we’ll go to a bowl game but I think 4 or 5 wins is a possibility.

Imagine if Briles coached at Texas. Questions in character aside, he was a great football coach, even back in high school at Stephenville. He could develop non-top recruit players and win games. Texas can get whatever recruits they want (or at least they should) and pair that with Briles great coaching. Texas would have been a dynasty matched only by a few in college football history. Too bad his reputation is now tarnished. He would be the top choice for programs like UT, TTU, TAMU, and many others around the country.

Can you please make more videos like this. Its amazing

Does the Big-12 have a championship game, yet? I seem to recall hearing about it last season but I thought you needed 12 teams in order to have one.

Theres such a big hole to fill with college football content, your channel is gonna do great

Now Baylor went to a bowl in 2018-19 and is getting better

How you growing this fast lmao congrats and good ass video 💯

Can you do a video on Stanford?

Baylor student here. You're basically right on the money. The mentality here seems to be that although it sucks going 1-11, we'd rather have a coach that is a good man and runs a program that won't turn a blind eye to such heinous acts. Plus, Rhule went 2-10, 6-6, then 10-4 and 10-3 at Temple. We're hoping he repeats that pattern ;)

3 1/2 years & 4 seasons after this video, I'm glad to answer your last question as "yes". BU did fine under Matt Rhule for the next 2 seasons, then he left for the NFL. Year 1, first under Dave Aranda, didn't go so well, 2-7, partially attributed both to a new staff & COVID. The 2021 season has gone very well, as the Bears went 11-2, beating both OU & UT then beating OSU in the Big 12 Championship Game. The Bears are set to play Mississippi in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1. If they can win the game, they'll have their first New Year's bowl win in 65 years.

You’re gonna be big bro!! Keep grinding.

Great vids man don’t stop

We essentially didn't have a QB for large portions of the 2015 season

Back on the rise! 6-6 this year, could’ve very well been 8-4 or even 9-3 (there were many missed opportunities that may have changed the outcome of their games against Duke, Texas, TCU, and, to a lesser extent, Iowa State). Rhule’s record at BU is showing the same upward trend as his record at Temple, and with a talented roster that will only mature and become more disciplined, I can’t wait for what they do in 2019. Sic em! 🐻💚💛

Now you need to make the Resurrection of Baylor Football

The downfall series is binge-worthy. Love em

2018 Final record is 7-6 including a win in Texas Bowl over Vanderbilt.

Baylor may be in Texas and have trouble recruiting but Rhule can turn nobodies into studs (ex. Charlie Brewer, Trestan Ebner, Denzel Mims) and he brings a positive attitude to that locker room and raises these kids as winners

Do the ???? of Pitt. Looses to terrible teams, always with a loosing record. But against teams ranked in the top 3 since 2000, their record is 5-1. What...

Do the revival of Baylor Football Please!!

The biggest thing about last year for Baylor is that even though they were 1-11, they lost 8 games by 2 or fewer possessions. If they improve significantly, they could easily make a bowl this next year. Already have matched their win total from last year as well.

RIP man. I'm a Baylor fan.

The downfall that ended up getting to #5 and barely missing the playoffs.

The Rise of Iowa State Football Pretty sure we have one of the 5 worst all time win percentage and with Campbell we've had back to back 8 win seasons and 3 top 6 upsets in the past 2 years

You’re bodying these 👌🏾

Love these videos!

Notigang 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼

You could do a downfall of Tennessee, but it would require a 5 part series since they died in 2009, even though most didn't recognize the fact.
