When i was a college athlete i was intense too, hated losing, talked sh*t and when i did well rubbed it in, when i didn't i beat myself up to do better. Read his apology letter after the college kid getting drunk incident and tell me that post that incident he didn't become a better STUDENT athlete...

Baker Actually learned from his mistakes at least from what i can tell. I would never take his competition level away from him. He had one of the most storied and great college football careers between Texas tech and Oklahoma being a WALK ON and making the team and winning the heisman and had the highest completion % in college football TWO YEARS IN A ROW, Highest passing efficiency rating TWO YEARS IN A ROW, was responsible for the most touchdowns by any player last year in the NCAA. HE WAS A WALK ON.


What red flags can surpass these kinds of on field awards that hes had?

The only red flag i can think of is the one Oklahoma flag he planted mid field at OHIO STATE after winning...
