Scott Drew might have been trolling everybody Wednesday with his tweet from Mi Casita in Waco while some were reporting he was in Lexington to take the Kentucky job.

April 05, 2024 12:00 - 34 minutes - 31.8 MB

The College Football Super League has some intriguing proposals, but it won't happen. At least, any time soon. The Big 10, SEC, and Big 12 outright REFUSE to have dinner with the Super League folks, so let's not worry about that change happening.  Does Scott Drew end up on the current college basketball coach Mount Rushmore? He's one of the best, no doubt, but that would leave quite a few Hall of Fame coaches off the list.  Today is the 3-year anniversary of Baylor's national championship ...

Just before last year's spring game, Baylor defensive end Jackie Marshall tore his ACL, ruling him out for the entirety of the 2023 season.

Baylor basketball coach Scott Drew doubled down this week on a commitment to staying at Baylor, but honestly, he didn't have to.

Another whiny postgame press conference makes Terry something of a villain in his final days in the Big 12.  Even with Baylor's dominance in the series, it feels like a no-brainer to keep the rivalry with Texas alive ...

Thankfully for Baylor, Jalen Bridges returned to the Bears for his senior season. Bridges is the only returning starter from the 2022-23 season and he has been an efficiency monster this season.

The #2 ranked Houston Cougars are flying as they head into Saturday morning's matchup with #11 Baylor in Waco. The game is not only the biggest on the schedule for the Bears thus far, but it is also a homecoming for 2021 national champion LJ Cryer. Cryer comes back after three years with the Bears, two of those as a starter, before transferring to Kelvin Sampson's team last spring. Cryer gave three seasons to Scott Drew and the Bears, but how will the Baylor faithful handle his return? Sup...

The Baylor football coaching staff took a hit Monday with offensive line coach Chris Kapilovic and linebackers coach Christian Robinson both agreeing to join Kalen DeBoer's staff at Alabama. Kapilovic had only been hired by Baylor from Michigan State in December.
