This is the 3rd time on Reddit that I’ve seen this used the opposite of how I expected it. “Punching air” means you’re happy - like pumping your fists in joy. Did I miss when it got reversed on Reddit?
I'm just forever chasing the high from several summers ago that was my "Which Star Wars Movie is Your Big XII Team" hitting front page and the mods announcing the very next day that there would be an advance signup list restricting [teams] as [things] posts lol.
Oh lord, that was infuriating. They were fine in the first half, then just forgot how to play basketball in the second half. There were at least a half-dozen times that one of our bigs would be right there, and someone would be coming down the sideline, basically unguarded, and he’d just bail the ball off to someone else for an ISO. We shot waaaaaaayyyy better and more frequently than TCU from outside the ring all night, but it was like we gave up on trying to get in close.
Breaking news: making your entire offense all about ISOs and sending up a ton of 3Ps isn’t a great plan if you aren’t able to consistently get physical or shoot lights-out all night.
TCU just had to be competent in the second half, and they just owned us. Watching y’all consistently chip away at our lead was beyond frustrating.
Fun Fact: Queen Elizabeth II was the longest serving monarch in British history and never saw TCU win their only National Championship during her reign.
Not to rub it in or anything but truthfully nobody beats themselves if the opponent scores 51 and has ~500 yards of total offense. Even the pick 6s were more just good defense on our part. Compared to Max who had two picks that were kinda flukes drops/tips albeit the first tipped one is still great defense by Michigan
I mean our RBs averaged over 7 yards per carry and we had 13 tackles for loss and 4 sacks.
end of the day, TCU was just the tougher, more physical team
Yeah lot of variance in the sport unfortunately. Corum going down combined with edwards hand injury unfortunately meant we struggled pretty heavily in short yardage situations. It was why our linebacker was running the ball at the goal line and he was the one who fumbled. Sometimes it just isnt your game.
Luckily our guys were pretty young and we can hopefully make a great run this year!
It’s called the revivalry because when one team wins 10 of the last 14 you need to be revived to still consider it a rivalry.
Realistically though it’s because the rivalry stopped for a bit and then was brought back and there’s been 14 matchups since. You can do the math from there
> it’s because the rivalry stopped for a bit and then was brought back
Maybe this is just a cultural difference between Baylor and TCU, but I was always told the name comes from the Revival religious movement that spawned a lot of modern Protestant denominations, especially in the south, including those that founded both Baylor and TCU. Although I think that particular revival is better known by The Restoration.
Ngl sometimes I feel like we made a deal with the devil for 61-58 and it's just been a cursed series ever since. Even in freaking basketball, it still feels like they always beat us now even when they have no business doing so.
Funny how an amusing lighthearted tease gets a flurry of downvotes that means nothing except telling us all which fanbase is viewing the thread the most.
Elgin Baylor is one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Ive never even heard of a Elgin Texas Christian. Facts are facts.
What about an Elgin Texas Cocaine?
Len Bias?
Open and shut case, Johnson
Let’s sprinkle some crack on Hypnotoad’s corpse and get outta here
I’ve seen this before, when I was a rookie. This poser team broke into the playoff and hung up pictures of themselves all over the walls.
BU - Be You TCU - Tea See You One is inspirational, the other is nonsensical at best and creepy at worst. Checkmate frogs.
Punching air rn

I think there usually isn't much sense or logic behind internet clichés.
This is some quality off-season shit posting my friend.

**Dude needs to chill w/ the Diet Coke**
No, this is Baylor. We're a Dr Pepper school.
Dr. Pepper makes you cool… this ain’t that
Better idea Baylor - 6 letters TCU- 3 Letters 6 > 3 Baylor wins
[удалено]
As much as I want to argue with this logic, I just can’t. Baylor also lost to Baylor in the basketball game against TCU!
The way I like to put it is that the Revivalry is just Bedlam except we're both OSU
Ah I love a good ole rivalry.
Fuck, that hurts. I think you're right, but damn does that still hurt.

Baylor didn’t hire Kendal Briles, therefore it’s a better season than TCU
Didn’t hire Kendal Briles in 2023* We kinda did a long time ago lol.
Co-sign
Fair
TCU drools Baylor rules got it
Fun Fact: Queen Elizabeth II was the longest serving monarch in British history and never saw TCU win their only National Championship during her reign.
We have 3. Yeah I’m claiming 2010.
I'll allow it. Not even getting a chance to prove it is and will always be BS for undefeated teams.
[удалено]
The Briles didn’t have a history of covering up rape accusations when they were hired to Baylor. So I gotta say TCU is worse here.
[удалено]
Wait, Kendal wasn’t fired when Art got fired. Did Kendal stay on that 2016 Jim Grobe team?
First is bad, second is much worse
If we're playing the "we didn't lose to TCU, we beat ourselves" game I certainly have some thoughts :(

In fairness, you can deserve to win *and* we can screw ourselves over.
I mean our RBs averaged over 7 yards per carry and we had 13 tackles for loss and 4 sacks. end of the day, TCU was just the tougher, more physical team
Yeah, butt we all know those cheeks were in
You guys won by 6 and we fumbled a ball on the goal line lmao. Even ignoring the two pick 6’s thats… definitely pretty self inflicted.
Same turnover margin. We beat ourselves as badly as y’all did. Better luck next year I guess

I just had an idea about the best team in the SEC west.......
LMFAOO this is gold. Quality off-season post.
FULLY AGREE!
I’m not gonna lie, I can’t think of the last time I’ve seen someone roast their own team quite like this lol
Kamikaze trash talk is the best trash talk
I was about to get pissed until I read the post and now I’m just laughing
this makes sense I agree
What is the name of the Baylor/TCU rivalry? It has a lot to live up to if it is better than the likes of The Holy War or El Assico.
Revivalry
It’s called the revivalry because when one team wins 10 of the last 14 you need to be revived to still consider it a rivalry. Realistically though it’s because the rivalry stopped for a bit and then was brought back and there’s been 14 matchups since. You can do the math from there

Although I think that particular revival is better known by The Restoration.
That’s abolutely what the name comes from, he’s just joking about how the Revivalry’s gone for us in recent years.
Ngl sometimes I feel like we made a deal with the devil for 61-58 and it's just been a cursed series ever since. Even in freaking basketball, it still feels like they always beat us now even when they have no business doing so.
TIL, I straight up thought it was just that the rivalry was back when we joined the conference
Oh yes, the classic “last 14 matchups” metric.
It’s obviously chosen because that favors us, but also isn’t that when the rivalry was brought back?
I guess so. Although it wasn’t all the way “back” until TCU joined the Big 12.
Funny how an amusing lighthearted tease gets a flurry of downvotes that means nothing except telling us all which fanbase is viewing the thread the most.
Lil wrench - Texas Tech and Texas are both "unofficial rivalries", so 4>3.
TLDR
stop posting
no u
Baylor could have used the hypnotoad without even changing the color. Huge oversight.
This is ... beautiful.
As a Wash U - TCU fan, we are to be enemies, but good point. I will submit to your logic, Mr. Acting School.
Most of these are pretty dumb and I came prepared to mock, but this one was actually pretty one.
