I have a question for BUwolverine29 as well.
What is it like to be part of a team that has brought such a big turnaround to the Baylor program and knowing the success will help recruiting and possibly keep the program successful?
Side note: Watching the Baylor fans this past season makes me think of Redskins fans. Absolutely giddy to have success after some lean years. Hoping that changes in DC REAL SOON!
Well I have always been in a "turnaround" program. In high school, our team had not made it to the playoffs in nearly 15 years and our team was the first one to do that two years in a row. So, Baylor was a natural fit for me. It made no difference what the history was to me. It was all about hard work and focus. People said Baylor would/could never win. They said that about my high school as well. I just like to prove people wrong.
But I believe our success (as well as all of our other sports-basketball, baseball, etc) has built a strong foundation for the future, and I am very excited for Baylor and the city of Waco to reap the benefits. It is unprecedented the athletic accomplishments Baylor has made this year--Heisman and Alamo Bowl for football, Elite Eight for Mens bball, National Championship for womens basketball, Post-season play for every fall sport, National Championship in equestrian, and now our baseball team was recently ranked #1 in the nation and had a 24 game winning streak and is currently undefeated in Big 12 play.
So in short, I think the Redskins will have tremendous success in the future because by acquiring Robert Griffin, they have got a guy who knows what hard work is needed to win and win consistently.
Go Bears. Go Skins.
