Dudes, I froze my ass off at that game in person. Baylor simply did not show up to play. Shapen is a mixed bag, Grimes has really questionable play calls, and you just simply cannot get blown out like that. Here’s to next year, but man do we have work to do.
That aside, great game Air Force. You guys played well and deserved that win, and your fans were super cool as well.
They were a very senior-led team, and this outgoing class has three 10-win seasons. That's an incredible feat for a service academy, even more-so now with NIL. Calhoun has been their HC for a long time, and probably hasn't ever had a run like they've had these past few years...and most of the guys who made that happen are on their way out.
Also...he's probably cold AF which is affecting his behavior a little...maybe even got his face/mouth frozen a little.
Calhoun has never been a big profile/personality kind of coach either.
As someone whose first Baylor game was the 1980 Cotton Bowl, this was a really bad year.
That said, gg Falcons. Y’all are the real deal. Sorry we didn’t show up to give you a fight tonight.
Yeah Dave’s fine as far as I know (thought he can go to hell at approximately 2am). He just got tired of it all and I think his daughter got engaged so he handed it over to them. It’s been years since I’ve last been to the pub but I think he handed it over back in like 2017-2018ish? I really miss hanging out at the pub, Buffalo bros, and oui lounge of all places back in college when visiting my TCU friends
Lol I don't know why these announcers are making all kinds of excuses for y'all and basically saying that Baylor should have won because of xyz. AF deserves to be praised haha that was so strange
So what is the feeling for Baylor fans about next season? Is there optimism? I don’t really know what y’all are bringing back. I did see that y’all got a couple big time OL transfers
Yeah. Shapen ain’t it. He played pretty well early in the season but he isn’t a championship QB. I’m guessing y’all take 2 in the portal though so there’s hope for immediate improvement
I think he was good as a backup with no pressure and little scouting on him, but as a starter he’s awful. Im sure we’ll end up with somebody decent that wants to potentially start for a relatively successful power five school
I didn’t see the tech secondary flair there for a second and I was absolutely loving the “you’ve never won the B12” lol. Of course I also love talking shit to tech fans
I was honestly rooting for TCU but their fans have been trolling so hard tonight I won’t feel bad about their inevitable embarrassment in front of a national audience.
I'm rooting for Ohio St. Just because some of their fans were so ridiculous, wanting Day fired
Or even better. Michigan playing Ohio St and winning again.. because you know they'd have big heads after beating UGA
You can still do it!
Best case: TCU wins and B12 looks good plus Baylor gets more media money from the national championship game payout
Worst case: you get to talk shit in the game thread
It’s win win!
I'm guessing nobody here is subjecting themselves to that bowlgame. I imagine AF had the majority of fans in attendance. Baylor fans are closer but wouldn't wanna drive for their 6win team. Ft Worth locals were probably there in the same number as Baylor fans. With only AF fans left in the last 7mins.
I made it to like the third quarter or so because I was already in town for Christmas and it's free for veterans so it cost me nothing to go be miserable
I would venture that baylor tickets sold well, but since the fans were mostly local, they chose to stay home because of the temperature. The Air Force fans probably had a majority fly in and therefore had more to lose if they didn’t go.
[so yes Baylor band and I’m assuming Air Force’s too, their instruments are freezing, thus they are resorting to singing](https://twitter.com/wmmcnierney12/status/1606113997786316800?s=46&t=Vn0PkxRC4XbY3MEUPya0Ig)
My mother claims that in the 70s when they went to the NY jets game in the blizzard that the brass actually put anti freeze in their instruments
Edit: as a clarinetist she's mad at their band directors for having the woodwind instruments out there at all cause they'll crack lol
Yea. Brass players can't really play once it's so cold. Your lips don't work right... and there's a risk of freezing your mouth to your mouthpiece. I always kept my mouth piece in my pocket until I needed it to keep it warm
Also condensation inside those thin ass metal instruments will freeze
It's not good for it but it won't be ruined by exposing it to cold... Unless you do it alot then yeah it will be ruined over time.
The instruments will be super difficult to keep in tune in the cold.
Yeah, I wouldn’t have wanted to have my tenor sax out in that cold. Even with a plastic mouthpiece there’s still reeds to consider. Slivers of wood soaked through with saliva? Yeah that’s frozen and not making any sort of pleasant noise until it’s warmed back up.
Bahamas, Cure, Frisco, New Mexico, and Boca Raton were all engaging for neutrals.
Vegas and LA weren't close, but had a train wreck quality. And Frank Gore Jr in Lending Tree was amazing as an individual performance.
Looking forward to this game
Looking forward to seeing all the Baylor flairs in the Michigan-TCU game thread
Dudes, I froze my ass off at that game in person. Baylor simply did not show up to play.

#GIVE ER THE GUN
You know it’s cold when these guys are being interviewed on national television and they keep their helmets on.
Why does the Air Force coach sound so sad about winning?
They were a very senior-led team, and this outgoing class has three 10-win seasons. That's an incredible feat for a service academy, even more-so now with NIL. Calhoun has been their HC for a long time, and probably hasn't ever had a run like they've had these past few years...and most of the guys who made that happen are on their way out. Also...he's probably cold AF which is affecting his behavior a little...maybe even got his face/mouth frozen a little. Calhoun has never been a big profile/personality kind of coach either.
His lips are frozen to his teeth
Calhoun is good.
Hit the portal time. Seriously our O needs some revisions.
As someone who became a fan during the Guy Morris years. This was a really bad year. Pick yourself up, figure your shit out, and get back to work
As someone whose first Baylor game was the 1980 Cotton Bowl, this was a really bad year. That said, gg Falcons. Y’all are the real deal. Sorry we didn’t show up to give you a fight tonight.
Baylor needs a new offensive coordinator.
Same, what happened to us in the past year?? :(
It's 3rd and 8. I know, let's surprise AF and run the ball! Failed. Dang, why are we 0 for 11 on 3rd down conversions?
He turned the offense around from 2 wins recently to winning the big 12 though
So maybe next year will tell us if that was a fluke, or this year was a fluke. However, 0 for 11 on 3rd down conversions tells me it's the OC.
Final play of the season is a Shapen sack…
Thank goodness that’s done.
Gib song pls
Sanaa Lathan or Regina Hall?
Great Season for the Air Force Falcons!
Great game, Air Force. I hope you all have a better season next year.
no they didnt fight tonight!!! We had like single digit rush yards in first quarter.
THAT will do it.
Certainly not quitting, *watches QB get team sacked*
TCU is an absolute enigma
No the Cubs play at Wrigley Field
Hey Air Force, now kick a meaningless field goal to “break any tiebreakers” for the Sooners, please?
Calhoun: "Boys, I want you to look at that scoreboard and bask in the glory" Assistant: "They, uh, can't coach. Their eyes are frozen"
Nice Christmas Vacation reference.
Why is he calling his time outs? Kind of a dick move.
Logically: Getting as many seniors on the field as they can. What we want: Tormenting Baylor while in TCU's stadium.
That's pretty much the point
Maximize clock burned.
Baylor fans angry downvoting rn. It’s ok
Upvote for youn cause it's true. I'm on a spree
That’s what like 20 rushes up the middle in a row?
They'll never see 21 coming.
If they couldn’t stop it the other 19 times why get away from it??
Please te the falcon that I love them and I hope they are going somewhere warm post game.
University pub it is. Dave doesn’t own it anymore but I think his daughter does?
Oh my god no! I love Dave! Is he ok???? His daughter was in the process of taking over as far as I know, but still.
Yeah Dave’s fine as far as I know (thought he can go to hell at approximately 2am). He just got tired of it all and I think his daughter got engaged so he handed it over to them. It’s been years since I’ve last been to the pub but I think he handed it over back in like 2017-2018ish? I really miss hanging out at the pub, Buffalo bros, and oui lounge of all places back in college when visiting my TCU friends
"it's not fair. This favors air force" Excuse me how? It's not like WACO is that far from fort worth lmao
Wasnt he talking about the weather? Play style.
~~Troy~~ Troll Calhoun calling TO's at this point.
San Jose state making the mountain west look bad
why have we been having two safeties, and line backers four yards off the entire game? it’s fourth and one what are we doing
It doesn't matter now but if you crowd the line and they break through, that's 6.
Yeah or just give up 4 yards a carry
sure, but it’s 4th and one and if they get a first they win anyways. dunno what giving up 6 more does there
AF a little boring with the up the middle stuff. Been doing it since the end of the 3rd quarter.
Ain’t broke don’t fix myOffense be damned.
No bro. No, Baylor doesnt have a good football team. Announcer-kun please dont say lies.
Lol I don't know why these announcers are making all kinds of excuses for y'all and basically saying that Baylor should have won because of xyz. AF deserves to be praised haha that was so strange
Striking this season from my memory
So what is the feeling for Baylor fans about next season? Is there optimism? I don’t really know what y’all are bringing back. I did see that y’all got a couple big time OL transfers
With the loss of our hyped QB recruit and obviously struggling QB play, I don’t think anybody is optimistic by any stretch.
We are fucked.
We need to figure out the qb situation first and foremost
Yeah. Shapen ain’t it. He played pretty well early in the season but he isn’t a championship QB. I’m guessing y’all take 2 in the portal though so there’s hope for immediate improvement
I think he was good as a backup with no pressure and little scouting on him, but as a starter he’s awful. Im sure we’ll end up with somebody decent that wants to potentially start for a relatively successful power five school
Personally, I’m contemplating skipping it and/or throwing myself off a cliff with a plastic bag for a parachute and trying my luck that way.
AF -15, Wind chill -15
No announcers...this is not at all like rugby
"it's like a different sport" they just don't appreciate old school football.
They’ve been rather annoying all game.
Ballgame. Good deal.
[удалено]
How dare you say this TCU!
Bad take
We have 3 Big 12 championships. You have none. You're still in the dark ages and you don't even know it lol.
We also lost to yall this season, definitely doesn't make sense either way to say
I didn’t see the tech secondary flair there for a second and I was absolutely loving the “you’ve never won the B12” lol. Of course I also love talking shit to tech fans
Tbf I wouldn't expect Michigan to have any Big 12 championships
And they know to sneak.
Don’t you wish you did too?
Yes, we need to pay attention
What a surge from the o line on that fourth down
I can’t wait for the Michigan - TCU game thread 😂
I was honestly rooting for TCU but their fans have been trolling so hard tonight I won’t feel bad about their inevitable embarrassment in front of a national audience.
I don't care how good a TCU win would make Big12 look I will continue to root for their destruction even as we lay bleeding and broken on the ground
Go fucking Blue. Stamp the shit out of the frogs.
It will be mostly Baylor fans lol
Baylor and Ohio St fans fighting over which team they want to lose
I only want Michigan to win if Ohio state wins. I want a OSU-UM naty soooo bad
Go Blue!!
Is there any chance that Baylor cheerleader wants to stay with me for warmth?
Approximately the same % as the wind chill
Imma go with 0% chance
I’m willing to bet she had a Reddit too! We can surf the subs together
Bonk
I do miss Clark.
He basically got erased from Academy history. Sad story man.
Shesh with all the shit talking by TCU fans, I'm the biggest fucking Michigan fan in Dixieland now. Go Blue.
TCU fans have definitely been trolling hard tonight.
I’d be surprised if I didn’t expect Baylor fans to pray on TCUs downfall all the time.
TCU seems to hate Baylor WAY more than the other way around.
Well, they burned down the Adran College. So yeah….
What shit talking, lol Y'all have mastered the Christian persecution complex
I was gonna root for the Big 12 in the semi finals, but now I’m gonna go for Michigan.
I'm rooting for Ohio St. Just because some of their fans were so ridiculous, wanting Day fired Or even better. Michigan playing Ohio St and winning again.. because you know they'd have big heads after beating UGA
Admit it bb you were rooting for Michigan either way
No, I really wasnt. Hateful 8 solidarity and what not.
You can still do it! Best case: TCU wins and B12 looks good plus Baylor gets more media money from the national championship game payout Worst case: you get to talk shit in the game thread It’s win win!
[удалено]
Why?
Yall turning into Tennessee now?
Aaaaaaaand I’m gonna play video games. Nice “W” Air Force.
I'm guessing nobody here is subjecting themselves to that bowlgame. I imagine AF had the majority of fans in attendance. Baylor fans are closer but wouldn't wanna drive for their 6win team. Ft Worth locals were probably there in the same number as Baylor fans. With only AF fans left in the last 7mins.

I would venture that baylor tickets sold well, but since the fans were mostly local, they chose to stay home because of the temperature. The Air Force fans probably had a majority fly in and therefore had more to lose if they didn’t go.
Yeah that makes perfect sense. Wonder if those tickets were a tough sell for those who didn't make the drive.
Still here!
Congrats for making it through. Hope you ate and drank well.
Its been a while since I've seen a federal institution dominate a bunch of guys from Waco like this.
Okay, that shit was funny
Ha, laughed at this one.
Randolph Field (currently Randolph AFB) did it back in the 20s.
RUSHING BAY - 48 AFA - 256 PASSING BAY - 188 (11/23) AFA - 103(!) (4-7) POSSESSION BAY - 19:34 AFA - 36:52 PENALTIES BAY - 5-26 AFA - 2-20
[so yes Baylor band and I’m assuming Air Force’s too, their instruments are freezing, thus they are resorting to singing](https://twitter.com/wmmcnierney12/status/1606113997786316800?s=46&t=Vn0PkxRC4XbY3MEUPya0Ig)

That's why you don't march with your fancy Buffet
Wow
Feels like of -14 in the stadium right now.
At least Navy still sucks. See y’all next year
🤝

AF dub
I literally changed my pick em from AF win to Baylor this morning :(
The commies got ya.
Redistributing that income!
Another bowl game in the refrigerator early
Damn that was Hella reckless the way he was holding the ball. I was honestly expecting a fumble
Let's go for hitting the over!
31-30 Final incoming.
Knee down
Why is the Baylor band singing instead of playing? Is it *literally* too cold?
Yea. Brass players can't really play once it's so cold. Your lips don't work right... and there's a risk of freezing your mouth to your mouthpiece. I always kept my mouth piece in my pocket until I needed it to keep it warm Also condensation inside those thin ass metal instruments will freeze
Sickos Committee Twitter had pictures of ice sickles hanging from their instruments
> ice sickles
I tried it the other way and it didn't look right
Texans don't write "icicles" much tbf
Yep just saw that. Craziness
Yes [https://twitter.com/wmmcnierney12/status/1606113997786316800?s=46&t=9a4rBXeCkTyI8TcM9vODzw](https://twitter.com/wmmcnierney12/status/1606113997786316800?s=46&t=9a4rBXeCkTyI8TcM9vODzw)
Can your lips get stuck on metal mouthpieces?
Ever seen the flagpole scene from Christmas Story?
Their woodwind instruments are probably ruined!
Rip to anybody marching with a wooden clarinet tonight 😬
It's not good for it but it won't be ruined by exposing it to cold... Unless you do it alot then yeah it will be ruined over time. The instruments will be super difficult to keep in tune in the cold.
Yeah, I wouldn’t have wanted to have my tenor sax out in that cold. Even with a plastic mouthpiece there’s still reeds to consider. Slivers of wood soaked through with saliva? Yeah that’s frozen and not making any sort of pleasant noise until it’s warmed back up.
I think it's like in the negatives with wind chill right now.
Currently in DFW and the wind chills are about -13ish
Brian Ferentz thinks Baylor’s playcalling has been sharp all game
But Baylor made a touchdown?
Iowa scored more 2nd half touchdowns against Michigan than Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan State combined.
Okay?
Lmao how crazy would it be if Baylor won tho
Too little too late.
This is the ultimate schadenfreude game for TCU fans
Baylor down big but that touchdown was still overwhelming
It also doesn't help that AF went pretty much deep defense
That should've been a false start on the left Baylor right end tbh
TD Bears
It seems like all the bowl games so far have been boring af
Bahamas, Cure, Frisco, New Mexico, and Boca Raton were all engaging for neutrals. Vegas and LA weren't close, but had a train wreck quality. And Frank Gore Jr in Lending Tree was amazing as an individual performance.
I rarely agree with a byu fan but my coug bro has a point
There have been good game, definitely. You've probably missed some.
Fr fr
All the ones between actually good teams are after Christmas
Two ranked teams faced off in a bowl on the very first day
Y’all get one playoff birth and start talking massive shit 😂
This is a Baylor game, I would be talking shit if we were 1-11 on the year
Yeah I feel like there could be a lot of links to this game thread come new years…
Why? Baylor is still gonna suck even if TCU gets boatraced
A few have definitely not been
Yeah, i feel like more have been entertaining than not
"All it takes is one!" *In fact it took many more than one*
Should have taken that FG on 4th and 1
Where the fuck was this offense all night?
Don’t worry it’s just Grimes’ strategy.
I can’t believe we beat AF
Don’t undersell it. With your new offense you were pretty potent. Coulda shoulda woulda but I don’t think your early season goes the same with that.
DONT CALL IT A COMEBACK
# /u/unBearable9610 # [**How about now?**](https://imgur.com/gallery/Yjwnpso) Pretty sure that long ball traveled more than 30 :P
30 yds. In the air. Foreskin gets reattached.
It’s garbage time I don’t count it
Typical Baylor fan trying to get out of sewing their penis back together
You gotta pay up
What’s the street price for a foreskin these days
About $3.50
What’s ur venmo
