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.

Travis begins this episode doing a small recap of Baylor's recent bowl history starting in 2010. This will be Baylor's 10th bowl game since then and their 4th BCS/NY6 bowl appearance. The Bears are 5-4 in those bowl games and 0-3 in BCS/NY6 bowl games. Travis will then recap Baylor's 1957 Sugar Bowl victory over the undefeated #2 Tennessee Volunteers. This will be Baylor's 3rd Sugar Bowl appearance and they are 1-1 in this bowl.

Next, Brad Logan of Inside the Rebels on 247Sports and host of the BLEAVinOleMiss podcast joins Please Bear with Me. He talks through the turnaround the Rebel's have experienced in year 2 of Lane Kiffin and why Lane is a good fit at Ole Miss. We discuss the Ole Miss offense led by highly touted QB Matt Corral and the defense who is playing much better than what the numbers will tell you.

Finally Travis compares where each team ranks nationally and gives us a game prediction. This is one of the better matchups this bowl season as it will feature one of the best offenses in Ole Miss vs one of the best defenses in Baylor. Something has got to give and we will find out on Saturday!
