Well there is this gem too:
"If Baylor was voted out of B12, which it won't, the B12 would dismantle shortly after. Baylor is probably still the best athletic department in the B12."
So 100+ years of SWC/BDF irrelevance still hasn't coursed itself through their veins enough to keep from making statements like this. Any wonder they think CAB got railroaded?oragator said:

I would enjoy seeing this happen just to see my cousins faces when Bayrol was turned down by the Mountain West or any other 2nd Tier Conference.dixichkn said:So 100+ years of SWC/BDF irrelevance still hasn't coursed itself through their veins enough to keep from making statements like this.

My opinion... That's an easy thing to say if it wasn't your daughter.
I love Fixer Upper, but every once in a while they feature someone or something Baylor-related (even other than one of them or the kids in BU gear) and it really makes it tough to watch. One show they went down to the Bano on the Brazos to find a brick they donated in Grandpa's name. Blech.aggiehawg said:
As far as Waco's reputation goes, he kind of laughed and joked, "I just hope Chip and Johanna don't get a nasty divorce or get caught up in a scandal. Need this bad publicity to stop."
yes, a young black man who rapes someone is the victim. total racism.Quote:
these guys get a bad wrap just for being a young black man
Most of the shows about "finding a home" are done the same way.petey88 said:
yeah, things may be made up for tv. Saw some story about the application process to be on the show. Basically it said the applicants are asked all about the arranged financing for their chosen home, the other houses are thrown in to make it look good for tv.
I admit, they've made themselves into a gold mine in waco.
I've never heard anything disparaging about them, and I would love to meet them. My wife says that Chip and I are long lost twins...except for that Baylor thing.aggieduke said:
Chip is salt of the earth. Knew him very well before they got the show. When anyone becomes famous or successful it is easy to find "haters".
It does make me cringe with all the Baylor stuff....but he went there and loves his school....just the same as we love ours.
He always talks Aggie sports with me and never has anything but respect about A&M.
They are good people and have helped alot of folks around here.

Plus the usual TV stuff like reshooting the reaction shots until the appropriate level of excitement is shown.

The ep mentioned here is scheduled for Tuesday the 28th.MooreTrucker said:
My wife has a client who's son was on the TV show. We haven't seen the episode yet but it should be coming up soon. They didn't have a bad experience but things definitely are not as they seem on TV (much to no one's surprise). And I think they've already sold that house and moved on.
Yep, there was a House Hunters filmed in College Station a few years ago. We knew the realtor on the episode from church and asked her about it. She said the couple had already closed on their house (and she wasn't even their realtor). Of the other two houses for the couple to "choose" from, one wasn't even for sale. It's all BS.bonfarr said:petey88 said:

All of the TV "Reality Shows" are staged. A couple that was on House Hunters gave an interview to their hometown paper and admitted they were told they had to be already closing on the home before they could be approved. The other 2 houses they looked at belonged to friends of theirs that agreed to let their homes be used because they got free cleaning/painting, etc.
It was explained to them that production crews are expensive and they couldn't waste time following people around if they weren't sure they were going to be able to use the footage.
