Please Bear With Me

Another season of Baylor Football is almost upon us and Please Bear With Me is back to talk about the upcoming season. Expectations have not been this high for the Bears in quite some time, so it should be a very exciting season. Scotty Swingler joins host Travis Corley to talk about the season expectations. They begin the episode discussing the re-commitment of 4 Star QB Austin Novasod and how bi...

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. Expectations are high as Baylor begins their trek to defend their Big 12 Championship on the heels of the greatest season in Baylor history. Travis begins the episode explaining what the expectations should be from a Spring game....

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 episode starts with a recap of the ups and downs of...

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 of course the Bears coming off of a 2 win season. T...

Travis welcomes former Baylor Wide Receiver Chris Platt for an in-depth interview about his 6 years at Baylor. Chris was recruited by the Briles' staff, but ended up playing for 3 different Head Coaches during his time at Baylor. This interview covers everything starting from the Briles firing all the way to Chris's Pro Day experience and what he is up to now. Chris opens up about some misconcepti...

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. Travis starts this episode discussing how Baylor h...

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 disbelief that Baylor has a 10 win season with a p...

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 appearance in 3 years. There were several different scen...

Travis Corley is taking a week off, so Scotty Swingler steps back into his former role as host for this week's episode! Scotty kicks off the episode by discussing Baylor's historic win over Oklahoma and what it means as we evaluate Gerry Bohanon, Abram Smith, and Dave Aranda. He also discusses his recently published "All-Time Baylor Football Team." Former Baylor RB and longtime friend of the show...

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 has accepted a position to become the new Texas Tech...

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 Gary Patterson being let go after a 20 year ride wi...

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 year, but it only took us about 8 weeks to get t...

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 to worry about, but who truly knows? Then Travis d...

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 cam...

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 krypt...

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. Travi...

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. Th...

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 confer...

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...

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...

Please Bear with Me welcomes back Paul Catalina of SicEm365 Radio for his take on the Bears' upcoming season. We start by discussing Coach Aranda's level of comfortability in the Head Coaching role and if Paul has noticed any change from last year to this year. Travis then welcomes back Scotty Swingler for the 2nd time this week as they take a look at Baylor's schedule and give us their game-by-ga...
