Just as there are Aggie Catholics who can't stand Notre Dame, there are Aggie Baptists who can't stand Baylor. The typical Baptist church in Texas has a mix of Baylor alums, Baylor parents, Aggie alums, Aggie parents, a few sips, Red Raiders, coogs, and Cajuns mixed in. It's always a bit uneasy dealing with the Baylor people, especially since so many of them think it's actually a Christian school. It's uneasy because if truth be told, I would have to tell them that it's not just a sports "rivalry." The problem is that I really don't like anything about Baylor. It's a worldly, hypocritical, holier-than-thou collection of people that views itself as academically elite (it's not), on the level of t.u. and A&M (it's not), worth the high tuition (it's not), Christian (it's not), a top private school (it's not), ethical (it's not), athletically superior (it is temporarily, if rapes, murders, and slimy recruiting are allowed).
See how it can be a bit difficult to worship with people when those thoughts are beneath the surface?
To that end, I think it would be really nice if pastors would comment on this stuff from the pulpit, and break this "radio silence." Baylor supporters need to know that it's okay to be publicly disgusted, to withhold support, to be a part of the solution, to admit that Baylor is broken.
I thought Baylor made a huge mistake when they ran off Sloan...I had no idea it would be this bad. They are so blind - the best thing that happened to them in the last 50 years was for A&M to go to the SEC...and their president fought it to the bitter end...the irony.
