HAHAHA TCU Football Gets Historically Blasted Against Georgia
January 10, 2023 13:00 - 36 minutes - 33.8 MBHahahahahahah, TCU lost the national championship against Georgia worse than anyone has ever lost a national championship. Sure, the glory of being in the big game can suffice for Horned Frog fans, but Baylor faithful can now bask in the glory of just how awful TCU played from start to finish. No matter what, Baylor fans did not lose today. That is something to write home about. Sonny Dykes and the Horned Frogs don’t have a letter to write home about when it comes to a Big 12 championship or...
Baylor Basketball Enjoys Worst Big 12 Start in 15 Years
January 09, 2023 13:00 - 28 minutes - 25.7 MBNo. 19 Baylor Men's Basketball (10-5, 0-3) failed to mount a late comeback against Kansas State (14-1, 3-0) in Jerome Tang's return to Waco 97-95. Talk about another crushing loss. In a contest that was back and forth early, Kansas State controlled the second half and suppressed every Baylor attempt at a comeback. In Scott Drew's first bout with Tang, mentee toyed with mentor. While the Wildcats were picked to finish last in the league, Baylor was the favorite to win the Big 12. Drew's sq...
With Recent Athletics Struggles, Is Baylor Still a Cool School?
January 06, 2023 13:00 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MBBears in the Wild is the perfect marketing campaign for what is happening to Baylor athletics. Once touted for the best jerseys in college sports and an edgy attitude, what is the state of Baylor athletics? From recent struggles in Scott Drew and Dave Aranda's programs, Drake is worried about the trajectory of the athletics department. Baylor has lost its swagger. Now there is a need to get it back. The Bears have an avenue to make the pinnacle of college athletics each year, but its time to...
How On Earth Did Baylor Basketball Collapse AGAIN Against TCU
January 05, 2023 13:00 - 32 minutes - 29.7 MBNo. 19 Baylor men's basketball (10-4, 0-2) lost to No. 17 TCU (13-1, 2-0) in the Bears' first home conference game of the season, as Horned Frog guard Mike Miles Jr (33 points) outdueled Keyonte George (27 points). Both teams opened the game blazing hot from the field. It took over four minutes for a shot to clang off the rim; at that point, TCU led 11-9, and George's nine points (all on three-pointers) paced Baylor. But like their cold-blooded, reptilian counterparts, the TCU Horned Frogs...
The Big 12 is the Best Basketball Conference in America
January 04, 2023 13:00 - 32 minutes - 29.3 MBIt's not close. Kansas. Baylor. Kansas State. Texas. Texas Tech. Iowa State. West Virginia. Oklahoma. Oklahoma State. TCU. That is a list of the best basketball teams in the Big 12. That is also a list of all of the basketball teams in the Big 12. Home of the two-time reigning national champions in the sport, this league is the apex of the game — and it's not really close. The Big East and the ACC can kick rocks. Nothing beats the Big 12.

Baylor's Transfer Portal Quarterback Wishlist
January 03, 2023 13:00 - 27 minutes - 25 MBThe Baylor Bears are still early in the college football offseason process, but coach Dave Aranda says January is the month they plan to bring in a transfer portal quarterback. As Hudson Card and Jack Plummer and even long shots like Grayson McCall have committed elsewhere, the Bears should turn their attention to Louisiana-Monroe quarterback Chandler Rogers. Rogers combines all the skills that made Baylor an effective offense in 2021 and what made Jeff Grimes such a sought-after offensiv...
How Did Baylor Basketball Collapse Against Iowa State?
January 02, 2023 13:00 - 23 minutes - 21.3 MBNo. 12 Baylor men's basketball (10-3, 0-1) dropped its Big 12 opener in a blowout loss at Iowa State (10-2, 1-0), falling victim to Hilton Coliseum 77-62. Well, that's one way to open conference play for the defending Big 12 champions. After opening the trip to Ames, Iowa with a quick nine-point lead, the tide turned quickly and the ship completely sunk. In all, Baylor was held to 38% shooting thanks to a 5-22 clip from deep. The Bears also turned the ball over 19 times and only scored 20...
Hiring Matt Powledge as Baylor's Defensive Coordinator is Not a Home Run
December 30, 2022 13:00 - 25 minutes - 23.3 MBMatt Powledge has been hired by Baylor and Dave Aranda as the Bears' defensive coordinator. This is a really, really good hire, but it's not quite the home run Baylor fans hoped for. Powledge is young and unproven. While that could result in recruiting success and a meteoric rise as the defensive play caller, it still leaves question marks. Powledge needs to light the recruiting game on fire.

How Did Baylor Football's 2022 Collapse Happen?
December 29, 2022 13:00 - 37 minutes - 34.3 MBYes, it's going to be a long offseason of discussing how bad 2022 was for Baylor football and Dave Aranda. In this edition, Drake joins Josh Neighbors of Locked On Big 12 to give a complete rundown of what went wrong for the Bears and how the ship can be righted heading into 2023. Maybe Blake Shapen is a serviceable quarterback, Richard Reese is really good at football and we trust Dave Aranda. This program is going to be ok. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Baylor Men's Basketball is NOT a Final Four Caliber Team... Yet.
December 28, 2022 13:00 - 28 minutes - 26 MBBaylor men's basketball is not ready, but that's ok. Scott Drew's squad still has a lot to figure out down the stretch this season. Adam Flagler has missed a couple of games, Keyonte George, for better or worse, plays to his competition, LJ Cryer has been inconsistent from three and the lack of significant post presence is a plague again. However, this team has the ingredients to make a deep run in the postseason. If Baylor gets hot, watch out. Drew's squad will get on a roll in Big 12 play....

The 2022 Baylor Football Season Was a Disaster
December 23, 2022 13:00 - 29 minutes - 26.7 MBThe Baylor football team (6-7) ends its year with a loss at the hands of Air Force (10-3) in the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl 30-15. You win some, you lose more. After starting the season as a top-10 team and the favorite to win the Big 12, Baylor ends its season at 6-7 with a blowout loss in one of the more obscure bowls out there. That's not how they drew it up. To make matters worse, this was the most miserable football game imaginable. With a temperature of 12° and 20 mph winds, ...
Here's Your Baylor and Air Force Bowl Preview... Oh, and Austin Novosad Left!
December 22, 2022 13:00 - 30 minutes - 28.4 MBBaylor football meets Air Force in the Armed Forces Bowl today, but that’s far from the first thing on many Baylor fans’ minds. With Austin Novosad signing with Oregon, the 2023 recruiting class for the Bears is now a shell of what was expected. The class was on the cusp of being a top-15 group nationally, mostly anchored by Novosad’s status. Now, though, Baylor limps into a bowl game and resets its focus on the Falcons. This game could be awfully interesting, all things considered. Air For...
It's National Signing Day for Baylor Football
December 21, 2022 13:00 - 29 minutes - 27.1 MBEarly signing day for Baylor football is upon us. Buckle up and get ready for what is hopefully a very boring day. The Bears expect to sign the No. 25 class in America per 247 Sports, and a top-20 class per Sports Illustrated. Highlighted by the talent of Austin Novosad, the class of 2023 could prove to be wildly pivotal as departures from the 2022 squad continue. While starting a true freshman from jump is never advisable, a few players in this class give you the opportunity to at least eye...
Baylor Quarterback Commit Austin Novosad has In-Home Visit with Oregon
December 20, 2022 13:00 - 25 minutes - 23.8 MBAhead of early signing day, it's not fun to learn that Baylor quarterback commit Austin Novosad was joined for an in-home visit with Oregon this week. Novosad is one of the greatest quarterback commits in Baylor football history, and he's certainly the crown jewel of the class of 2023. If he jumps ship last second to Oregon, the Bears could be in trouble. Two highly touted commits have already dropped their loyalty, and this one would be a backbreaker.

Baylor's Win Over Washington State was UGLY, but Keyonte George is HIM.
December 19, 2022 13:00 - 28 minutes - 26 MBNo. 11 Baylor men's basketball (8-2) rode a strong second half by Keyonte George to victory over Washington State (4-6) in the Pac-12 Coast-to-Coast Challenge, 65-59. This was a fun matchup between two teams that are wildly unfamiliar with one another. At first glance, this is just a tightly contested game between fun basketball teams. Employing the microscope, though, you'll see that this was a game between a No. 11 Bears team and a Cougars unit that came in at 4-5. What's more, the game ...
Are Adam Flagler and LJ Cryer Healthy? Please Say Yes.
December 15, 2022 13:00 - 26 minutes - 24.5 MBAdam Flagler and LJ Cryer missed Baylor men's basketball's last game against Tarleton State. It was like deja vu all over again. After the guards missed so much of last season, it's never a good sign to see them out again. Flagler came down with an illness and Cryer had back tightness. Luckily, both will be back for the game against Washington State this weekend... as far as we know. It's still odd to see both miss time at this point in the juncture, and our fingers are crossed that this do...
Huh? Auburn Hired Former Baylor Coaches Philip Montgomery AND Ron Roberts?
December 14, 2022 13:00 - 24 minutes - 22.7 MBThis one is weird. Auburn, or Baylor East, is hiring another former Baylor assistant. Ron Roberts and Philip Montgomery, one from the Dave Aranda era and another who coached under Art Briles, have been hired at Auburn by Hugh Freeze. They both join the Kevin Steele fraternity. This honestly comes as a bit of a shock, for Roberts especially. He was just fired by Baylor. How does this constitute being hired at Auburn? The world may never know. This is funky to say the least, and Zac Blackerby...
Brittney Griner is Free from Russian Prison... What Should You Think?
December 13, 2022 13:00 - 34 minutes - 31.5 MBBrittney Griner has been released from a Russian prison in a trade for an arms dealer. The United States got her home, but the cost could be great. What are we to make of this, and how does Griner's return impact Baylor nation? In other heavy news, Chris Beard of Texas men's basketball has been arrested for assaulting a female family member. And Mike Leach is in critical condition after a major heart attack. It's a heavy day on Locked On Baylor. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Lin...
Who Will be Baylor's Next Defensive Coordinator?
December 12, 2022 13:00 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MBIt came as a relative shock when it was announced that Ron Roberts would not return to Dave Aranda's Baylor staff. Ranking in the bottom third of the Big 12 in most defensive categories, though, called for a change. So, that leaves us with one pressing question: who's next? The following shortlist is based on Aranda's coaching tree, current successful defensive minds and downright crazy dreams that just might come true. Corey Raymond | Cornerbacks, Florida Raymond would be a home run hir...
Star Baylor Quarterback Recruit Austin Novosad Joins the Show
December 09, 2022 13:00 - 27 minutes - 24.9 MBBaylor football quarterback commit Austin Novosad took Dripping Springs High School to new heights in 2022. Ending his season on a sour note with a fumble at the one-yard line of a one-score game, Austin's comeback story starts new. The star joins the show to talk his senior year, his upcoming spring and who the Bears are getting. Novosad is also a candidate for Mr. Texas High School Football, presented by Dave Campbell's Texas High School Football. He'll be on campus in Waco in January to ...
Why is Baylor Football Being Forced into the Armed Forces Bowl?
December 08, 2022 13:00 - 32 minutes - 29.9 MBBaylor and Air Force will kick off in one of the most boring bowl games on the slate. Maybe the most disheartening part of the entire deal is that the Bears are playing against a triple-option team. Baylor football finished 6-6 overall and 4-5 in the Big 12. Oklahoma football finished 6-6 and 3-6 in the Big 12. The Bears are going to the Armed Forces Bowl to play Air Force. The Sooners are going to the Cheez-It Bowl to play Florida State. Something here is not adding up. In a move that sh...
Who Will Baylor's Transfer Portal Quarterback Be?
December 07, 2022 13:00 - 29 minutes - 27.1 MBDave Aranda and the Baylor football staff will be searching for a new quarterback from the transfer portal this offseason. Sure, Blake Shapen and Austin Novasad can vie for the starting job next year, but the team needs more than just two scholarship play callers on the roster next season. With big names like Spencer Sanders and Hudson Card available in the portal, the Bears have plenty of options on where to go. John Garcia Jr. joins the show to break down transfers into Baylor and the la...

Here's Who Baylor Needs from the Transfer Portal, Including a Quarterback
December 06, 2022 13:00 - 30 minutes - 28 MBAs written by Cameron Stuart at InsideTheBears.com: More than 3,000 players entered the transfer portal in 2021-22 cycle and after less than a single day in this year's cycle, the number of players testing the waters projects to be just as high as last year. The Baylor Bears haven't been portal vultures under Dave Aranda, but it could be a weapon for them this offseason. Before I get into the players who we could see in green and gold next year, I should preface this by saying a lot of wh...
Baylor Football Got Screwed in the Bowl Selection Process
December 05, 2022 13:00 - 27 minutes - 24.8 MBBaylor football is headed to the Armed Forces Bowl on TCU's campus — and it sucks. Texas Tech and Oklahoma State also got the shaft, landing in lesser bowls while Oklahoma limps to the Cheez-It Bowl. The Big 12 screwed up somewhere, and it's hurting multiple programs. It's simply against the script of how the postseason works, and each team deserves an explanation. So, we move on and let the kids play. It's Baylor and Air Force. And it's a Falcons team that just refuses to throw the ball. I...
Gameday Preview of Baylor and Gonzaga in South Dakota
December 02, 2022 13:00 - 28 minutes - 26.2 MBBaylor comes into a matchup with Gonzaga men's basketball fresh off of an embarrassing loss to Marquette on Tuesday. Even with a 2-10 record against Scott Drew going into Tuesday night's game, Shaka Smart showed the ultimate respect for the Baylor Bears, not by laying down and conceding a victory against the No. 6 team in the country, but by calling off the dogs with a minute to go so his teams didn't score 100 points on the hapless visitors. Baylor held a 7-6 lead at the first media timeo...
Kyron Drones is Entering the Transfer Portal, and that's so Bad.
December 01, 2022 13:00 - 32 minutes - 29.7 MBBlake Shapen closed the 2022 football season much worse than he opened it. As murmurs of the quarterback's competency heightened, his performance declined. Parlay that with Kyron Drones transferring, and Dave Aranda, Jeff Grimes and Shawn Bell have another complicated offseason ahead. Going by the numbers, here's a look at Baylor's only remaining scholarship quarterback: In September, Shapen started his season with seven touchdowns, one interception and 773 passing yards. Few questioned t...
No. 6 Baylor Men's Basketball gets Embarrassed at Marquette... so now what?
November 30, 2022 13:00 - 27 minutes - 25.5 MBNo. 6 Baylor Bears basketball was embarrassed at Marquette, losing 96-70 in the Bears' first true road game. Well, they do not get much worse than that. In what was easily the Bears' worst defensive performance of the season, Marquette used disciplined ball movement and deadeye shooting to stomp Baylor. What's worse, the Bears turned the ball over 20 times. Marquette scored 26 off of those turnovers. When both your offense AND defense do not perform, it's tough to win games. That's the sto...
Is it Time for Baylor to Move On from Quarterback Blake Shapen?
November 29, 2022 13:00 - 29 minutes - 27.5 MBBaylor football sent Gerry Bohanon into the transfer portal to start Blake Shapen at quarterback this season. This is not a conversation of whether or not Dave Aranda regrets this decision, but this is a conversation about how Shapen performed in the Bears' 6-6 campaign. Here's a hint for you: it wasn't great. Shapen actually regressed over the course of the year, and that just won't do. Now, for a much lighter conversation, we have a good view of where Baylor will go bowling. It will be th...
Baylor's 2022 Football Season was Really Disappointing
November 28, 2022 13:00 - 29 minutes - 26.6 MBBaylor football's third season under Dave Aranda was anything but what we all expected. Most Bears' fans and analysts would have put the team's floor at eight wins, but here they sit at 6-6 after the year. Even wins on the road against Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Iowa State could not amount to competing for the Big 12 championship. This season was simply disappointing. Then there's the quarterback conversation. For Baylor, Blake Shapen just did not produce what he was supposed to. The team was...
Is it Time for Baylor Football to Part Ways with Jeff Grimes?
November 22, 2022 13:00 - 29 minutes - 27 MBBaylor football has boasted Dave Aranda at its helm for three seasons, two of which have come with Jeff Grimes as the offensive coordinator. Grimes has garnered plenty of critical acclaim as the leader of the Bears' offense, even getting looks for the Auburn head coaching vacancy and being listed as a Broyles' Award watchlist member. Baylor fans, though, are calling for his head. Many Baylor supporters want to see him gone. So, what is in store for Grimes? Hopefully its nothing more than re...
Baylor's Loss to TCU is the Most Heartbreaking Under Dave Aranda
November 21, 2022 13:00 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MBBaylor football (6-5) falls to No. 4 TCU (11-0) on senior day 29-28 as the Horned Frogs' hopes of a College Football Playoff birth stay alive. This game was a classic. Couple the 40°F air with drizzling rain and you get a rabidly charged fanbase. Couple a rabidly charged fanbase with a team playing loose and you get magic... almost. In the last decade, no Big 12 team has started 11-0. All who have tried have fallen in game 11 to the Baylor Bears. TCU is now the exception. The Bears domin...
TCU has Strayed From the Church: Cue a Baylor Win
November 18, 2022 13:00 - 31 minutesTCU and Baylor square off on the gridiron this Saturday, and this game is a Horned Frog victory by a mile on paper. Instead, we go neglect paper for this episode and bring scripture into play with the pigskin preacher. Baylor football has been a perennial dream killer in the Big 12. The last two teams who started 10-0 in the Big 12 were Kansas State in 2012 and Oklahoma State in 2015. That 2012 Kansas State team, having just risen to No. 1 in the BCS poll, fell to 10-1 after a crushing 52-24 ...

Complete Preview of Baylor Football and No. 4 TCU in Waco on Saturday
November 17, 2022 13:00 - 27 minutes - 25.7 MBBaylor and TCU clash in a massive rivalry game on Saturday. Well, it's massive for TCU at least. As for Baylor, losing this game does almost nothing for this team. TCU needs to win to make the college playoff. That's a recipe for one team to play very loosely and another to overlook a much lesser opponent. As Dave Aranda and Sonny Dykes square off for the first time, the big storyline behind this game is the Horned Frogs' unexpected success. That success may run out against a Baylor team t...
Baylor Basketball Hits Las Vegas to Meet No. 16 Virginia and Maybe Matthew Mayer
November 16, 2022 13:00 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MBScott Drew. Tony Bennett. Baylor. Virginia. Two new bloods in college basketball hit the hardwood in Las Vegas on Friday, and this game has plenty of storylines. For one, Virginia's campus is mourning the death of multiple football players after a tragic shooting. You can be sure the Cavaliers will be playing for more than just bragging rights. For Baylor, this game is about expanding the reign of dominance the team has had in pre-conference tournaments. This showcase could also culminate i...
Baylor Football Might Actually Beat TCU
November 15, 2022 13:00 - 24 minutes - 22.2 MBBaylor football meets TCU in Waco on Saturday. The Horned Frogs are dreaming of a trip to the College Football Playoff. Baylor is fighting for a trip to the Alamo Bowl. This is a supreme recipe for Baylor to beat TCU. I get that it sounds insane, but that's kind of the entire point. The Bears have no business winning this game. The Bears will probably win this game. That's Dallas. Also, the TCU basketball team lost to Northwestern State. That is bad. That is really bad. Baylor basketball, o...
Baylor Got Embarrassed by Kansas State, Dave Aranda's Most Humbling Loss
November 14, 2022 13:00 - 29 minutes - 27.5 MBBaylor football (6-4, 4-3) was blown out by Kansas State (7-3, 5-2) at home on Saturday 31-3. Deuce Vaughn notched 106 rushing yards on 25 carries. He added a team-leading eight receptions for 50 yards and a touchdown. The Deuce was loose, and Baylor could not stop him. Honing in on the battle of quarterbacks, Merriam-Webster's Dictionary may not have a term to adequately define this one. Will Howard, Kansas State's backup, was 19-27 for 196 yards and three touchdowns. Blake Shapen was 22-...
Baylor Blackout Against Kansas State Should Mean a Win
November 13, 2022 21:41 - 31 minutes - 28.5 MBBaylor and Kansas State go toe-to-toe on the gridiron Saturday in a matchup that could decide who attends the Big 12 championship game in Arlington. The Wildcats are coming off of a tough home loss to Texas, and the Bears are riding high after winning three straight in Big 12 play. This game pits two squads with a lot of talent into a corner, and only one can make it out and into the next round of the conference title race As for the game, Deuce Vaughn and Adrian Martinez are going to be pr...
So is Baylor Really Good at Football Again?
November 10, 2022 13:00 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MBBaylor football hosts Kansas State for a large, large matchup on Saturday. It will be a blackout, and all fans are encouraged to wear black. If you did not know, the fate of Baylor in the Big 12 title hunt hinges on this game. The crowd can make a huge impact, but it takes everyone showing up for a Bears team that is... good again? John Garcia Jr. of Sports Illustrated joins the show to confirm it: Dave Aranda has flipped a switch for this team. In John's breakdown of Saturday's Baylor game...
Is the Big 12 the Best Basketball Conference in America?
November 09, 2022 13:00 - 26 minutes - 24.8 MBThe Big 12 is the best conference in America when it comes to college basketball. From Baylor and Kansas to Texas and TCU, the 10 teams in the league each have a shot at making March Madness, and the parity of the league makes it anything but top-heavy. Jason Jordan of Sports Illustrated joins the show to talk Baylor and Big 12 hoops. Then there's the topic of Scott Drew. The guys dive into how unique Drew is as a basketball coach. Very few head honchos in this era of NCAA hoops are redshir...
Baylor Men's Basketball Might Win the National Championship
November 08, 2022 13:00 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MBThe Baylor men's basketball team has done it again. This time, it was against Mississippi Valley State. Sure, that may not be the most prominent basketball school in America, but it wasn't necessarily Baylor's margin of victory that makes it a title contender. The Bears just have elite depth. Were you waiting on the third-stringers to get in the game? There is no such thing as third-stringers this season. The team is elite from top to bottom. Moreover, who about Adam Flagler? LJ Cryer? Jale...
Baylor Football Beat Oklahoma in Norman, and it Wasn't THAT Close.
November 07, 2022 13:00 - 30 minutes - 28 MBBaylor football knocked off Oklahoma in Norman for the second time ever on Saturday, running all over the Sooners. This means the Bears are within much closer striking distance of the Big 12 championship or an appearance in Arlington. Yes, that’s right, it’s close enough that it now can be discussed. As for the game in Norman, Sqwirl Williams was the star for the Bears. Without Richard Reese at full health, Williams ran for 194 yards and two touchdowns. The defense had its lapses for Baylor...
Is Richard Reese Baylor's Best Freshman Ever?
November 04, 2022 12:00 - 30 minutes - 28.2 MBAhead of a game between Baylor and Oklahoma, the question is being posed: is Richard Reese the best freshman in Baylor football history? The answer might just be yes. He's only 90 yards away from breaking the freshman record for yards in a season at the university. He'll have a great opportunity to do so on Saturday against a Sooners defense that is last in the Big 12 against the run. Dialing more specifically into this game, Drake and Scotty (the Pigskin Preacher) are expecting a Baylor wi...
Baylor Will Beat Oklahoma in Norman by 10
November 03, 2022 12:00 - 26 minutes - 24.7 MBBaylor football will get the best of Oklahoma this Saturday. Following Dave Aranda and company finishing off Texas Tech in blowout fashion, Drake is a new believer. In this crossover edition of Locked On Baylor and Locked On Sooners, the guys chat the ins and outs of a matchup between two teams that have really underwhelmed. What will be the difference if Baylor does win this one, though? The run game. Oklahoma's run defense is putrid. It's terrible. It's worse than bad. The Sooners are the...
Can Oklahoma Beat Baylor in Norman on Saturday?
