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 potential to make it 12. He is also pretty excited this championship game will not include either OU or UT given their soon to be exit from the Big 12. Travis talks the Dave Aranda likely extension and why he is such a good fit for Baylor.

Next he talks more about the wild coaching carousel and how in a 24 hour span both head coaching positions at Oklahoma and Notre Dame became available. Travis follows up with a quick recap of the Texas Tech game before Pastor Scotty enlightens us with a story about a fight he almost got into with some Pokes fans. 

Please Bear with Me will then welcome guest Travis Roeder, an X's and O's aficionado, to break down the rematch between Baylor and Oklahoma State. Roeder explains what he thinks both defenses will do differently, what the addition of Terrel Bernard means for Baylor, and finally what Blake Shapen brings to the offense. 

Most Bears fans didn't think we'd find ourselves in the conference championship, but yet here we are. Dave Aranda has an excellent opportunity in year 2 to do what Matt Rhule couldn't in year 3. The top 2 defenses in the conference face off on Saturday in a top 10 matchup; what an exciting time to be a Baylor fan.
