"You Make The Call" Online Streaming...
Saturday, September 11, 2010
I cannot imagine why Baylor's game with Buffalo wouldn't reach a crowd of 40,000+
I don't know enough about some of the old scars between the City of Waco, Central Texas and Baylor University.
But, like anything else, everyone needs to grow up and bury the hatchet.
Has BU made some previous decisions that alienated potential ticket buyers, yes--and based on my conversations with Ken Starr, Ian McCaw and others---they've tried to reach out and attract a new fan base and perhaps work a new relationship with those who haven't been coming to the games.
In my opinion, two things need to happen or Baylor football will be on the outside looking in again sometime sooner than you think.
1) Everyone needs to grow up, forgive and forget and give Baylor another chance. But, that doesn't happen without Baylor truly reaching out and sustaining their interest in the community...not for a couple of home games but forever.
2) No matter how much BU markets their football program, they team MUST win and they must be convincing in some of their victories.
Look, they're in a very difficult division, but that's not going to change, so get better.
Art Briles and his staff are doing what they believe in to bring the Bears back, it won't happen overnight, but the window of opportunity to convince fans is ticking.
I mentioned how disappointed I'd be if the attendace didn't reach 40,000+ today, and about 25-minutes from kickoff, that's up in the air.
I hope those who told me I'm clueless about demanding 40,000 are wrong.
If not, I'll be hammering away at my philosophy on Baylor's football future and the fan base.
If you want to be a big-boy program, you have to act like one.
That's on the team, program, players, coaches and fan base.

Just taped a TV interview with KCEN...
Christine Winter called me this morning about a segment on college football and the national rankings and a formula by Cody Kellner that ranks teams based on their record but also margin of victory.
I've never been big on margin of victory but rather strength of schedule and the strength of schedule of your opponents.
Eventually, it's up to any team to win their own games, but personally, I get a better gauge through strength of schedule.
I've used the same philosophy ranking high school football teams.
Example, if a high school team is 0-2 but they've played two state-ranked or highly-ranked teams still being better than a 2-0 team who ran up a couple of wins against bad competition.
I think the interview or a clip or two of it on KCEN's 10pm newscast.
That's also the thing about television compared to radio.
In television, you can record 3-5-7 minutes of an interview and they're looking for a really good 10-20 second audio clip.
In radio, you tape 3-5-7 minutes, you have time to use it all.
It's the difference between a three-hour show and a 3-4 minute sportscast.

Why wouldn't we host our show on Labor Day?
I had a few people almost shocked that we hosted "You Make The Call" on Monday, Labor Day.
My question is "why not?"
It's the first show after Baylor opening game and the first day of the week with the NFL season about to start.
We had our regular guests and had plenty to talk about.
At least now, it's not about what might happen, but some games and results to discuss.

Headed to the locker room for an interview
BU up 31-3 with just over 6-minutes remaining, headed to the locker room.
Not a bad start, they need to iron some things out between now and Buffalo, but they'll be fine.

3rd-largest home-opening crowd in Floyd Casey Stadium history...
42,821.
Not bad for a Labor Day weekend with some kids back home.
Maybe a dominant win will give those who didn't show up a reason to be here for Buffalo next Saturday.
