S5E9 - Bryce Petty Bears with Us

Baylor bounced back with an absolute shellacking (and yes I looked up how to spell that) of the West Virginia Mountaineers 45-20. In what most people expected to be a defensive battle, the Bears' came out and had their best offensive performance of the year. This episode begins with Travis' recap of the WVU game and how the Mountaineers were fortunate to eclipse 20 points. Most of their points came from either a tipped ball or the Baylor defense making mental mistakes... penalties. The Bears did...

S5E8 - The Stillwater Kryptonite and a Mountaineer Matchup

It was a rough weekend for the Baylor Bears, but the good news is Travis is back. And this week he's got a little help from co-host Scotty Swingler. The conversation begins with Scotty's overall impression of the team and if Gerry Bohanon was the right choice at QB. Then we dive in for a closer look at that horrendous loss to Oklahoma State. We'll discuss how Stillwater seems to be Baylor's kryptonite, and how each of Baylor's Head Coaches in the past 2 decades haven't had much success there eit...

S5E7 - Phillip Slavin and a Daunting Trip to Stillwater

The Baylor Bears' have their first ranked win of the Aranda era after defeating the Iowa State Cyclones this past weekend. In what was a lackluster 2nd half, the Bears' found a way to hold on and win the game twice thanks to an offsides call on Ben Sims. But alas, here we sit 4-0 and ranked 21st in the country with a trip on the horizon to one of my least favorite places to play, Stillwater. Travis kicks off this episode recapping the incredible game over the weekend. Baylor was able to knock of...

S5E6 - Shehan Jeyarajah, Big 12 Expansion, and a Top 15 Matchup

The Baylor Bears are 3-0, but the season is just beginning. Baylor welcomes a top 15 opponent in Iowa State to Waco this weekend for an afternoon matchup. Maybe the Cyclones will bring the correct tents this time, or maybe not. Doesn't matter to me. This week's episode kicks off with a recap of the dominance exhibited by the Bears last Saturday; out gaining Kansas by more than 5 yards per play. The offense gave its best performance of the year and the defense played well, but Travis still thinks...

S5E5 - Andrew Miner and Kansas Preview

The goal for me leading into Big 12 play was to build confidence and momentum. There's no doubt we've accomplished that heading into this weekend's game versus the Kansas Jayhawks. We kickoff this week with Travis' own version of "Overreaction Monday". How after watching the other Big 12 teams through 2 games should increase our optimism of where we will end the year. The other QB's in the conference have not impressed to this point. Next is a recap of the offensive and defensive performances ag...

S5E4 - Bad Broadcast and Levi Norwood

It was great to see the Bears out on the field again last Saturday. At least for the parts of the game we (those of us watching from home) got to see. Two words for the broadcast crew "zoom out". Travis begins by diving into a recap of the Texas State game. It was a breath of fresh air to see 2 Baylor rushers eclipse the 100 yard mark. And why only a 9 point win is ok. Then former Baylor Receiver and Punt Returner Levi Norwood joins the pod. He talks about his interactions with Coach Aranda rece...

S5E3 - Football is back! Week 1!

I'm not sure about you, but I still have the bad taste in my mouth from December 12th. A taste I haven't quite been able to get rid of. But that all changes this weekend. It's finally game week for the Baylor Bears as they travel to San Marcos to take on the Texas State Bobcats. Travis opens by giving his take on Gerry Bohanon named QB1. While his playmaking and confidence are a key factor for the decision; he will still have to play well to keep the title. Taking care of the ball and deep-ball ...
