“My coaches tell me that my walk-up song is ‘I want it all and I want it now,’” head coach Mitch Thompson quipped. “That’s just the way it is, and that’s probably true. I’m a really impatient guy, and I do want it all, and I want it now, so give it to me now and let’s do it.”

Let me preface what’s to come with a statement I truly believe – Dave Aranda is an elite defensive coordinator with a great knowledge of the game and has the makings of a successful head coach. With that said, I don’t think he resembles a ‘successful’ head coach in the modern collegiate game.

The Bears’ redshirt junior quarterback has yet to throw an interception in four starts in 2023.

Led by senior midfielder Ashley Merrill’s two-goal game, Baylor soccer capped off the season strong with a 3-2 win over new Big 12 competitor Houston Monday night at the Carl Lewis International Complex in Houston. The Bears clinched a spot in the Big 12 Tournament with the victory.

The Bears nearly tripled the amount of rushing yards they had in the second half against the Bearcats as they had in the first.

The Bears secured their second consecutive conference series sweep and are riding a five-game winning streak.

The Bears are 2-0 on the road in a year in which they host a nation-leading eight home games.

It’s been over seven years since Art Briles was Baylor football’s head coach, and despite the disgraced exit, Briles has taken several jobs at other places since then.
