Travis begins the episode congratulating the Bears who were awarded All Big 12 Team honors. Dillon Doyle…

Baylor was unable to snag a signature win in Austin last weekend as the Longhorns used the rushing attack to close out the game 38-27. Despite winning the time of possession, turnover battle, and having a defensive score the Bears were unable to score any offensive points in the 2nd half and lost. Andrew Miner joins Please Bear with Me to wrap up t…

Baylor had every opportunity to play spoiler to TCU's season, but fell short as TCU hit a FG as time expired to go on to win 29-28. Baylor heads to Austin this week for maybe the final time (at least for awhile) to face the Texas Longhorns. Texas needs to win to keep their Big 12 title hopes alive, but will count on Kansas to knock off Kansas State…

It was a rough night in Waco for the Baylor Bears as they were unable to score a touchdown in a 31-3 beating by the Kansas State Wildcats. It was an incredible turnout in a blackout themed game for the fans, but the team wasn't able to rise to the occasion. Travis rides solo this week and he kicks off the episode with a short, yes short, recap of t…

Baylor is bowl eligible after a hard fought 38-35 win in Norman against the Sooners. The Bears have now won back-to-back road games and back-to-back games vs Oklahoma. Only 3 times has a team to beat OU in back-to-back years since 2010 and Baylor has now done it twice. Former Baylor OL Blake Blackmar of Blackmar BBQ returns to Please Bear with Me i…

Baylor gets its first win in Lubbock since 1990 this past weekend defeating the Red Raiders 45-17. We were told we should "Fear the Dark" in Lubbock, but in the end it wasn't very scary. The Bears intercepted 3 different QB's 5 total times in route to a big win and now are just 1 win away from bowl eligibility. Paul Catalina of SicEm365 joins Pleas…

The Baylor Bears bounced back last weekend with a 35-23 win over the Kansas Jayhawks. The Jayhawks made it interesting after coming back down 28-3 at half, but the Bears were able to fend them off with a late 4th quarter touchdown. Now Baylor will head to Lubbock on Saturday for a matchup with the Texas Tech Red Raiders in their blackout game. This…

The Bears could not make it out alive vs West Virginia on Thursday night, and just as we presumed things got weird. Baylor fell 43-40 in a gut wrenching loss and could not overcome special teams mistakes once again. Unfortunately, we'll have to wait another 2 years before trying again for our first win in Morgantown. Travis rides solo this week and…

The Baylor Bears will look to bounce back on the road on Thursday night in Morgantown vs the West Virginia Mountaineers. Baylor does not have a very good track record when visiting West Virginia and things can get weird on Thursday nights, but the Bears need a win to get back on track for the loaded back half of their schedule. This week Travis is …

Baylor dropped its second game of the season this past weekend vs the Oklahoma State Cowboys with a final score of 36-25.

Travis is joined this week by Matt Wilson (aka mattisbear) to talk about last week's Big 12 matchups and the rem…

The Baylor Bears return home to McLane stadium to face the Oklahoma State Cowboys after defeating Iowa State 31-24. It seems the Bears were able to learn from the trip to Provo earlier this year and take out the Cyclones on the road in Ames. Drake Toll of Locked On Baylor joins Please Bear with Me to discuss the Iowa State game. Travis and Drake do…

Cyclones enter this game with an undefeated record of 3-0 while the Baylor Bears sit at 2-1. Baylor faced a tough road test in Week 2 at BYU, and we'll soon find out if they learned from their road mistakes. Travis opens the show up talking about what Dave talked about as he plays a clip from Coach Aranda's weekly press conference. Aranda was asked…

What a wild night it was in Provo, Utah as the Bears fell in double OT 26-20 to the BYU Cougars. It was a sloppy and undisciplined game for the Bears, but they somehow managed to stay in the game with a chance to win at the end. From full moons, cougar tails, and 60,000 plus screaming mormons it is sure to be the toughest atmosphere Baylor will see…

The Bears cruised to a 69-10 win against the Great Danes last Saturday in a nice tune up game before heading up to Provo, Utah this weekend. This Saturday's matchup versus BYU will feature 2 top 25 teams, and 2 of the best offensive lines in the nation. It will be a tough game for the Bears as BYU has the highest percentage of returning production …

It was a great day to be back at McLane for the Baylor football spring game. The alumni BBQ competition surely got everyone back in the mood for tailgating and football.

The Bears capped off a sugar sweet football season with a 21-7 win in the Sugar Bowl for Baylor's first ever NY6 bowl victory. This 12 win season is a program record and what an amazing turnaround it was for Coach Dave Aranda's 2nd year at the helm. Please Bear with Me once again welcomes Scotty Swingler to help recap this incredible season. This e…

The Bears are bowling and Travis is here to get you ready for an exciting matchup with the Ole Miss Rebels. The Rebels have had somewhat of a similar experience as Baylor over the last couple of years. Both teams are in their 2nd year of a new head coach and both teams are coming off of a lackluster year. Ole Miss is coming off of a 5-5 year, and o…

The Baylor Bears are Big 12 Champions for a 3rd time in program history which now ties Baylor with 2nd most all-time. The Bears defeated the Oklahoma State Cowboys 21-16 in what was one of the best games of the weekend and of the season. For anyone worried about whether or not the new Big 12 could draw viewership, I think that has been put to bed. …

Your Baylor Bears are heading to a conference championship game for the second time in 3 years after a grind-it-out type of win and a little help from the Oklahoma State Cowboys. It wasn't the type of game we expected to see in the BUTT Bowl, but the Bears found a way to win and that's all that matters. Travis kicks off this episode discussing his …

The Baylor Bears are 1 win away from a 10 win season after dominating the Kansas State Wildcats. The final score of 20-10 does not tell the full story of this one. Aside from one 65 yard run the Bears didn't give the Wildcats any room to breathe. Travis opens this episode talking about the potential of Baylor making a 2nd Big 12 Championship appear…

The Bears were handed a tough loss to rival TCU last saturday, but in true Bryce Petty fashion we are now "just ready for OU". Who, like Texas, could be visiting Waco for the last time as a Big 12 opponent. Travis begins this episode discussing the most recent news revolving around the Baylor Football program as Assistant Head Coach Joey McGuire ha…

The Baylor Bears moved up to #14 in the nation after a 31-24 victory over long-time rival Texas in what could have been the Longhorns last visit to Waco for some time. McLane was rocking for this one as fans chanted a sarcastic "SEC-SEC-SEC" as Texas left the field. What an amazing moment. Travis opens this episode with the news of TCU Head Coach G…

It's the week we've all been waiting for... Texas Hate Week. And this year it holds special meaning as it could be one of the last times Baylor hosts the Longhorns for quite a while. Travis begins this episode addressing the recent coaching opportunities that have come available. Usually the coaching carousel doesn't start until near the end of the…

The Baylor Bears gave future Big 12 opponent BYU a warm welcome this weekend as the Cougars got dominated 38-24. Travis kicks off this episode responding to a sound bite from Scotty Swingler revolving around the rumors that Dave Aranda may be a name to look at for the LSU head coaching position. Both of them seem to believe there won't be anything …

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 fortun…

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 …

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 m…

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; ou…

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 w…

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…

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 …
