Please Bear with Me is back after a few weeks off to cover all the news surrounding the Baylor Bears. Coaching switch ups, decommits, commits, transfer portal news, and of course a preview of the Air Force game are all on the table this episode. Travis begins the episode congratulating the Bears who were awarded All Big 12 Team honors. Dillon Doyle was the story of this year's honorees making both the 2nd team defensive and offensive teams. Congratulations Dillon! Then Travis will talk about the release of Defensive Coordinator Ron Roberts and Safeties/Special Teams coach Ronnie Wheat. He'll discuss who's at the top of his list to replace Coach Roberts. Then Bears Illustrated recruiting analyst Jordan Scruggs joins Please Bear with Me. He'll discuss the recent interest from Oregon in Austin Novasod and the decommitments from the Bear's recruiting class. Jordan will react to the transfer portal news and is sure Baylor will lose a few more following the bowl game. Baylor did pick up 2 transfer portal commits in OL Campbell Barrington from BYU and Jerrell Boykins DT from Hutchinson Community College. Jordan will end with his thoughts on the changing landscape of NIL, recruiting, and the transfer portal. He gives his take on if recruiting classes will lose importance and value moving forward with the transfer portal. Finally, Travis gets you ready for the Bears final matchup of the season vs Air Force. Air Force has a stout defense and the staple of their offense is the triple option which has shown the ability to give other team's fits. It'll be important for Baylor to play physical and do their 1/11th on defense, but it might be just what the Bears need heading into next season. It's going to be a freezing day in Fort Worth so bundle up and Sic em Bears!  JOIN THE BANTER: Follow @PleaseBearW_Me on Twitter and Please Bear With Me on Facebook.

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 the regular season. First we'll discuss the recent hirings of Matt Rhule to Nebraska and Luke Fickell to Wisconsin and how we think each coach will do at their new Universities. Then the guys will break down the loss to the Longhorns and what the issues were in the 2nd half for the Bears. Next Andrew and Travis will take a look back on the season and discuss what went right and what went wrong. Andrew has no concerns with the defense heading into next year even though it was Aranda's lowest ranked defense in regards to SP+ rankings in 10 years. They'll discuss what positions the Bears should add via the transfer portal and who will be QB1 for next season. Finally the two wrap up by comparing their Big 12 picks preseason and what actually happened (Hint: It wasn't pretty). Then they'll give their takes on the College Football Playoff and what the conference championship games mean this weekend. Could every top 4 team lose this weekend and still make the Playoff? Travis seems to think so. Bear with us this week to recap the regular season! JOIN THE BANTER: Follow @PleaseBearW_Me on Twitter and Please Bear With Me on Facebook.

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 in order for that to happen. Scotty Swingler joins Please Bear with Me this week to discuss the gut-wrenching loss to TCU. The guys will run through the final few drives of the game and why Baylor's offense wasn't able to secure 1 first down to secure the win. The Bears played well enough to win on defense holding TCU well below their season scoring average, but Baylor was unable to play complimentary football. Scotty and Travis then give their thoughts on the play of Blake Shapen and the offense behind Jeff Grimes. It will be interesting to see where the Bears go from here on offense. Finally, we wrap up with a preview of the matchup vs the Texas Longhorns and why Scotty still isn't sold on this Texas team. Travis talks his Bear Necessities and Scotty adds it will be crucial to keep Bijan Robinson in check. Both think the Bears have the ability to escape Austin with a win. Baylor wraps up it's regular season on Black Friday and hopes to ride off into the sunset on a high note. Please Bear with Me wishes you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving, and if you sneak off to listen while the family is in town don't worry.... our lips are sealed!

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 the Kansas State game. He doesn't mince words as he quickly admits the Bears were flat out embarrassed at home. Travis was disappointed in the defensive gameplan to keep coming with the corner blitz and the inability to stop Deuce Vaughn. Offensively, the Bears weren't able to score a TD and ended the game with only 23 rushes, 7 of which were from Blake Shapen. Travis then answers a few fan questions with one revolving around choosing Shapen as Baylor's starting QB this year. He answers if he thinks it was a mistake or not to ride with Blake Shapen this year and lays out the reasons behind it. Has Shapen hit his ceiling and is it time to see what we have in Drones? Finally, Travis turns his attention to the matchup vs the undefeated TCU Horned Frogs as they visit Waco on Saturday. TCU will be the best offense the Bears have faced all year and one of the most explosive offenses in the country that has 13 TD's of over 50 yards. Baylor will have to find a way to limit Quentin Johnston and Kendre Miller as they both can score any time they touch the ball. Travis wraps up with his "Bear Necessities" and of course a game prediction. Bear with us this week and get ready for a massive rivalry game vs TCU. It's always an exciting game when these two teams face each other and regardless of each other's records it seems to always be a close game. Baylor has a chance to avenge its loss to TCU last year that likely kept them out of the College Football Playoff and return the favor. We'll find out if they can on Saturday!

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 in the midst of Baylor's ongoing title defense. Travis opens the show discussing the 4 teams still in the running for the Big 12 Championship and what Baylor must do to make it to Arlington. Baylor controls its own destiny, but will have to win out against the 3 toughest Big 12 opponents remaining. Then Blake and Travis break down the win vs OU. Blake tells us what it's like to travel to Norman and the experiences he's had in the visiting locker room. Bottom line is it really stunk. The OL is rolling right now and Blake explains what Khalil Keith has brought to this team and the OL. The Bears are 3-0 since Keith's return. Finally the guys will look ahead to a big matchup vs the Kansas State Wildcats in Waco. The two are both hoping that Kansas State will continue starting Martinez at QB because it makes the Wildcats one dimensional. Also, Baylor will definitely have its hands full facing Deuce Vaughn, one of the most talented RB's in the nation. Both believe he will be an essential part of Kansas State's offensive gameplan.
