One of the most electric players we have ever seen in #NFL history.

A very difficult goodbye to my Brother Of The Sun Brett James.

I haven’t wanted to post cause I didn’t want to believe it. Brett and I shared a unique bond. A Brotherhood. A kinship. We wrote Reality and Out Last Night on the same afternoon sitting on my pool deck in the Virgin Islands two days after Christmas.  

We had a lot of authentic life fun writing songs together over the years and I’m sure going to miss it.  

It’s hard to process his creative soul being gone. This kind of loss. I feel as if part of my creative soul went with him. It will be a void in my life and creativity forever. I’ve never known writing songs or being on the road without him.  

Half the songs in my shows are songs he wrote or songs we wrote together. So it’s impossible for me to do shows moving forward and not think about him.  

I can’t believe I’m saying it but adios Brett James. Thank you for being a lifer, for being a shirtless, sunburned troubadour, for your friendship, your songs and all the laughs.  

Save me a seat at the After Party!🙏😎🧡🌴☀️💔

“God we were so alive

I was a kid on a carnival ride

Holding my breath til the moment you were gonna leave me to soon

But I’d do it all over cause damn it was good Knowing You”

The Baylor Family mourns the loss of country music legend Brett James (Baylor Class of '91) following his tragic death Thursday at age 57.

James is a member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, the author of 27 No. 1 hits (including "Jesus, Take the Wheel"), and the father of two Baylor graduates (Preston '20 & Sam '21): https://t.co/7Zruxp1x5L

[CMA Country Music @CountryMusic]

We are heartbroken by the loss of Brett James, a beloved songwriter and cherished member of the CMA family. A multiple-time CMA Triple Play Award winner, Brett's contributions to Country Music and his 17 years of service on the CMA Board will always be remembered. His talent, generosity, and kindness touched countless lives. Our thoughts are with his family and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

[Kirk Herbstreit @KirkHerbstreit]

Was calling a game last night when I got the news on a text that Brett was in a plane crash and didn’t make it. Living in Nashville, I’ve been very fortunate to meet a lot of incredible people…Brett was certainly that-one of the most talented and yet humble and down to earth guys I’ve met.
He was a legend as a songwriter and one of the most respected people in that town. He sang at my 50th along with Casey Beathard-such a good man. Just heartbreaking-my thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends as they cope with this unthinkable reality. 🙏🏼

[ASCAP @ASCAP]

We’re mourning the loss of Brett James, co-writer of “Jesus, Take the Wheel” & “When the Sun Goes Down” and a 2-time ASCAP Country Songwriter of the Year. Brett was a trusted collaborator to country’s greatest names and a true advocate for songwriters. We miss him dearly.

@dissectpodcast How has the way the album was released aged since the advent of streaming and the diminishing role labels have in which artists or songs gain traction?

It’s time to have a discussion about Scott Drew & Baylor these last 5 years.

Take five minutes out of your day to realize what we’re witnessing right now or just read the TLDR at the bottom if you don’t respect greatness enough.

This is all relative to Power Conferences.

#NCAA🏀:

In the last 5 seasons, Baylor is #1 in the entire country, with a record of 108-24 (.818).

As an underdog, AGAIN, Baylor is good for #1 in the country with a win percentage of 60%.

In the NCAA Tournament, Baylor is 8-2 (.800). AGAIN, that’s good for #1 in the entire country.

Baylor is tied for #1 with a National Championship.

Against RANKED Opponents, Baylor is #1 AGAIN, at 29-10 (.743). NOBODY else is even CLOSE to that.

Baylor has a conference record of 54-18 (.750). That’s #2 in the country.

At home, Baylor is 57-6 (.905)… #3 in the country.

Scott Drew accounts for 73% (11/15) of Baylor’s NCAA Tournament Appearances, 100% of their Sweet 16s, Elite 8s, Final 4s and National Championships in the expanded field.

He’s responsible for 68% (15/22) of their NCAA Tournament wins All-Time.

#NBA:

Scott Drew & the staff are unbelievable recruiters, but get this..

Baylor is the ONLY program in the entire country that has three consecutive Top 16 Draft Picks.

& NO, this isn’t a ‘recruit a 5 star, have him for a year and get him to the NBA and act like you developed a JUCO’ shtick.

Baylor has 9 active players in the NBA. That’s more NBA players than 97% of programs around the country.

Since 2010, Scott Drew has had 12 players drafted, 6 first round picks & 4 lottery picks.

Baylor’s entire existence before that (100 YEARS) had only 14 players drafted, 3 first round picks & 1 “lottery” pick.

Scott Drew has sent Unranked prospects, 3 stars, 4 stars and 5 stars to the big leagues.

#Discourse🗣️:

If you want to argue that Scott Drew is the best coach in America, all I can do is shut it and agree with you.

What he’s done, at a program that was so down when he got there, is unprecedented.

#TLDR📝:

Baylor is

#1 in Wins
#1 in NCAA Tournament W/L
#1 in National Championships (tied)
#1 vs Ranked Opponents
#1 as an underdog
#2 in Conference W/L
#3 in Home W/L
#10 in active NBA Players

@AllAubarn In terms of similarity of fanbase and student body I’d say Baylor is more similar than A&M
