If you only started paying attention to college football this decade (what took you so long?), you would only know Baylor as a Big 12 powerhouse. You’d think 10-plus-win seasons out of Waco are the historical norm, where playmaker-laden offenses have reigned for decades.
Of course, since your fandom probably dates back before 2010 — or if not, because you know how to use the Internet — you know this wasn’t always the case.
The Bears were the longtime doormats of the Big 12 and the Southwest Conference, always second or third fiddle to powerhouses like Texas and Oklahoma.
