Baylor's green helmets came about b/c the players asked for them. They were ready to go last season but were never used. They were used for the 1st time in our only home game this year, and caused quite a stir among the BU faithful. The story is that the gold ones have paint flaking issues and were sent back to the manufacturer to be fixed. We were supposed to have them back for the A&M game, but now should have them for our next game at Iowa St. The green ones are supposed to be used only a couple of games per season with the gold as the main helmet. In a poll on baylorfans 2/3rds prefer the gold helmets. Yes, we lost to A&M but outplayed them. Couldn't score when we got inside the 20. Most BU fans are confident we can beat ISU this week and Ok St the last week, and hope we can find another win in between to get to 6-5 and bowl eligible.
