Was watching the Baylor game on FS1 last night ... was waiting for the ref to hold the ball over his head in the 3rd and call the game ...

Man the numbers Baylor has been putting up is unreal! I wonder if that has to do with Art Briles being from Rule?

The numbers are incredible, some record breaking, and this week at least against a big 12 opponent that upset OSU last week. Can they keep it up?
As far as Briles at Rule goes I'd read before they were 11m then. Per lonestarfooball.com in 1973 they lost one game, the state champioship against Big Sandy (and Lovie Smith - OBK's note..). They did play several future/former 6m teams, Aspermont, Knox City, Jayton, Loraine, Newcastle, T-Rock, Santa Anna, Rising Star and beat Motley County 14-12 in the State Semi. Also noted was him scoring 4 TD's against Santa Anna on his way to All State at QB. Guess he was a runnin' QB hisself.
If I remember right Bill Yeoman at Houston was a wide open/go for it offense where Briles played in college. Then the year at Tech coaching under Leach could have influenced him further.
would like to read the new book about him but don't know about $24 bucks.

Yeah I didnt know Rule use to be 11man back in the day? I just remember reading something bout coach Briles saying he was from Rule and he had played at Houston as well. Does he ever come back to Rule any?

I believe his Dad was the coach at Rule when he played there.
That I did not know. I had wondered why I never saw him mentioned as a coach after 1976.

Bill Yoeman ran the Houston Veer - which was a take on the traditional wishbone triple-option running offense that TU, UT-Norman and UT-Fayetteville all ran back in the 60's, 70's and part of the 80's. It wasn't wide-open in the sense that today's air-raid spread offenses are, but it had the potential to rack up quite a few yards of offense and put a bunch of points on the board.
I guess, however, it was similar to Mike Leech's spread offense, simplicity-wise, in that the entire offensive game plan would fit on a 3X5 card.

Having followed the Bears at least some what since the (ugly) late 60's I don't think I've ever heard the words Baylor and National Championship in the same sentence. I'm sure it's probably the ultimate goal for Coach Briles and the rest of Baylor Nation but this might be a little premature.
BTW this thread should be under "other football" although the talk of 45'n might partially qualify it for here.
