 Re: Baylor Bears
Don't believe Fry ever coached at Baylor. In the DCTF 30th anniversary addition there is a story about the '64 Cotton Bowl entitled "Texas vs. Navy: A Classic Case of Espionage" It claims an unnamed coach didn't care for Wayne Hardin, Navy's coach and told Texas what every signal from the Navy sideline meant. It said "The Longhorns knew everything about Staubach, including birthmarks. More important, they had every defensive signal the Middies owned." Guess that's why you see all the elaborate "stuff" from the sidelines now. Also while we are throwing out the names of some well known ex-Baylor players we can throw Earl Campbell's name in as an "honorary" Bear. Grant Teaff said of him about his play in the '74 Texas vs. A&M game, {Earl Campbell ran again and again. "I tried to recruit Earl," Teaff said on one occasion. "It was between us and Texas. I told him he could put us in the Cotton Bowl. And sure enough he is."} Baylor needed Texas to win because if A&M had won they would have tied Baylor for the SWC title and the Aggies had whipped the Bears earlier that year so they would have gone to the Cotton Bowl. Like markf mentioned earlier Royal wanted Baylor to win it if his Horns didn't.

 Re: Baylor Bears
The Miracle on the Brazos. Had not beat Texas in 18 years. Down 24-7 at half, fans leaving - listening on radio on way home, turned around & came back to see Bear's win 34-27. I heard it on the radio. http://baylor.edu/pr/gallery/document/000119.pdf

 Re: Baylor Bears
Nice! Thanks for the link. I heard it on the radio too. A friend visited me in the office bright and early that next Monday with a ticket stub in his hand and a smile on his face. He said he stayed until the end. A companion bumper sticker to the "I Believe" one, read "I Believed, but Now I Know"

 Re: Baylor Bears
I've been on the baylorfans website all week just watching the excitement build toward tonight. At first I thought it would be great just to get a NYC invite. Now if he doesn't win I'm going to have a broken heart.

 Re: Baylor Bears
Great job for the Heisman voters to choose a player who's team is not in the "big picture".

 Re: Baylor Bears
What was # 3 ? I had a faint wishful hope he'd stick around and finish his masters and play his Senior season. Can't blame him though.

 Re: Baylor Bears
Don't you think they fed him the list? He may well go though. Hope not.

 Re: Baylor Bears
Hope your right. He's suprising in a lot of way's. If he comes back he will be l bet the most targetet QB in the NCAA. If he got hurt or the Bears had a meiocre season he could lose milllions.

 Re: Baylor Bears
That would be terrible. Well AP got it right. What's up with the Walter Camp Football Foundation anyway? Baylor sure isn't on their list of favorite universities. They're QB pick is going to look kind of silly at the end of the year. Baylor’s Walter Camp Football Foundation All-Americans Bill Glass, OG, 1956 Lawrence Elkins, E, 1963 Lawrence Elkins, E, 1964 Mike Singletary, LB, 1979 Mike Singletary, LB, 1980 Van McElroy, FS, 1981 Thomas Everett, FS, 1986 Santana Dotson, DT, 1991 Daniel Sepulveda, P, 2006 Robert Griffin III, QB, 2011 RG3 was second team. Don't know about the others.

 Re: Baylor Bears
All right, let's take a look at the 1980 SWC Champs and their 16 members who played in the NFL. This was a really outstanding team. http://www.wacotrib.com/wacotoday/30-ye ... Bears.htmlhttp://www.wacotrib.com/wacotoday/1980- ... e-NFL.html
