I love Baylor Nation. Its the only time Ive been able to show up for a game.Briles was in attendance for most of the first half of the Bears 38-10 win, leaving the stadium near the end of the second quarter. He said he didnt notify anybody in the Baylor administration about his intention to attend the game.Im not trying to be a distraction, Briles said. Its about the coaches and its about the players.Briles declined to answer questions about anything other than his attendance Friday night. Asked about his recent interview with ESPNs Tom Rinaldi, in which he apologized for mistakes he made, Briles simply responded, Tonight was about supporting these players, supporting these coaches and supporting Baylor Nation.Baylors athletic director, Mack Rhoades, declined any comment.As Briles walked through the concourse at Rice Stadium on his way out, he was stopped by several fans who shook his hand and offered words of support. Several took pictures with cellphone cameras and one even took a selfie with the coach just before he went out the exit gate.Briles expressed gratitude to the Baylor community for its support during his time there. He said he isnt certain if he will attend any more Baylor games this season.I dont know, he said. Ill just take it day by day.Baylor quarterback Seth Russell?was effusive in his praise for Briles when asked about his attendance.I did not know he was here, Russell said. I wish I had seen him.Russell said he came to Baylor for Coach Briles.Hes a top-notch guy, Russell said. A lot of things are being said bad about him but I know in my heart hes one of the best guys Ive ever been around. Hes a father figure, for sure. He does the right things when he needs to.
