Episode Details

Texas and Texas A&M's absence from the Big 12 is hurting college football's tradition—could a return reignite historic rivalries and restore regional pride? Cam Stuart and Jacob Hadaddin reimagine the perfect Baylor Bears conference, spotlighting nostalgic matchups with Oklahoma, Arkansas, TCU, and others. Their discussion explores why conference realignment is alienating fans and why powerhouses like Texas and A&M might benefit from embracing local showdowns instead of deep SEC pockets.

The Baylor Bears face a crisis on the offensive line as eligibility issues and medical retirements shake up Dave Aranda’s plans for a trenches-first rebuild. Can Baylor's new combination of seasoned transfer players and fresh recruits steady the ship? The episode covers key depth chart questions, the emergence of edge rusher Garrick Ponder, and whether experience can compensate for roster turmoil as the Bears push for bowl eligibility this season.
