Baylor fans, thank the Houston Astros

[The Llama]

I have seen it mentioned before on this board that Baylor is an up and coming program and the notion of whether or not Baylor athletics are to be reckoned with. The last few years have proved Baylor is not the little ant crawling around on the ground that can be stepped on at will any more. The University plans to improve even more thanks to an undisclosed donation from former Houston Astros owner Drayton McClane Jr to build a new on-campus stadium. No word on the amount but it is the largest donation EVER made to Baylor University. The stadium will be ready to go for the 2014 season.

Looks like a hell of a stadium. That's the least Drayton could do after making all that money year after year with the mediocre product he has put on the field!

McClain's only stipulation was it be called Baylor Stadium..

Damn I'm gonna miss Floyd Casey High School Stadium.

The estimated cost of a stadium like this is reportedly $250 million. That's Shane Reynolds money!

The Shaner??? Hahahaha! I remember when the Astros used to be Good.

Even the most detailed pieces of art will not be able to help a program that has played 116 seasons and barely managed to reach the .500 mark (541–539–44 (.501)).
