re: Baylor needs to start #wrts

They can't sell out their little stadium and visiting fans represent 40% of their ticket sales

Well that just isn't true in McLane Stadium.

In 2011, eventual Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III took his bears into College Station, where they took on a team that blew back to back 3 score halftime leads and were coached by Mike Sherman. The Baylor fan support was overwhelming, failing to sell their allotment of tickets for a game 90 miles south of Waco.

A&M led 24-14 at halftime and was set to blow another 2nd half lead.

Final Score A&M 55, Baylor 28.

Ryan Tannehill threw for over 400 yards and 6 touchdowns, 4 to Ryan Swope, who had over 200 yards receiving.

This is true, but you also lost to UT at home so I guess UT runs Texas.

Baylor is our bitch on the football field

Even with their best team in a 100 years with a heisman winning qb we kicked their arse

---

Our best teams have been the past two seasons, we haven't played you then. We had our best player in 2011 not our best team.

quote:

---

That is the thing- we don't have to play Baylor. We have to play the SEC, which means we need as many 4 and 5 stars that we can get. They wish they could play us, have a shot at legitimacy.

---

I think our back to back Big 12 championships are given us legitimacy.

quote:

---

The committee just said that Baylor, even at the peak of the program, isn't good enough to compete for anything better.

---

That's not what the committee said at all. They said we don't deserve to be in the cfb playoff this season.

quote:

---

No they wouldn't.

Even undefeated, the highest they were was 6th.

---

wat. Our highest ceiling undefeated is 6th but we are 5th with one loss.

as much as aggy hates the Big12, the chances of a undefeated Big12 team ever being left out of the playoffs is none.

quote:

---

Good for Baylor. They run the Big 12 and are the most successful team in the state of Texas this year.


But #WRTS is a reference to our recruiting dominance.

---

This is true. We have never out recruited A&M. Briles has always been the diamond in the rough type recruiter. We've accomplished a lot of success so far with 2* and 3* recruits. We are just now starting to pull in 4* and rarely a 5* recruit.

45,000 seat stadium

8,500 student seats 50% went unused or unpurchased by students

---

I don't think you understand how attendance works.

8,500 seats by students. That means 56% of our student body gets tickets. First that is extremely high percentage of a student body attending a game. Second, that amount doesn't account for all the students that don't get tickets to seats but are given tickets for general admission (standing room only in the berm area).

quote:

---

Their stadium holds like 30 people.

---

45,000 seat stadium for a student body of 15,000. That would be equivalent to a 150,000 person stadium for A&M.
