SPECIAL EDITION! TOURNEY TIME!
We've got an extra special March Madness edition of the podcast today, as we're joined by an all-star lineup of guests!
We visit with Big 12 Freshman of the Year Ja'Kobe Walter, Former Baylor guard & ESPN Analyst King McClure, and the Director of Athletics Performance
for Baylor Men's Basketball Charlie Melton.

the men's bracket before games get underway.
📈 STOCK UP
🔺 Time To Shine. The NFL draft is just over a month away and once again, BU standouts are readying to hear their names called and their dreams realized.
Next week, six former Bears are set to participate in the inaugural Big 12 Conference Pro Day, set to be held from March 27-30 at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco.
Offensive lineman Clark Barrington, defensive linemen TJ Franklin, Gabe Hall and Justin Sambu, and linebackers Mike Smith Jr. and Byron Vaughns will all participate in the event.
🔺 New Business Cards Needed. As spring football gets underway, some members of the Baylor family are in need of some new business cards.
Coach Aranda announced the promotion of two staff members and an addition of a third for his staff entering spring practice.
Jeff Grigus was elevated to Chief of Staff, while Landrie Walsh has been promoted to Director of Football Operations. Former LSU standout Ed Paris has been hired as an assistant director of player personnel.
🔺 Celebrate Good Times. Long ago, Kool & The Gang taught us to Celebrate Good Times and on Nov. 2nd, Baylor will do exactly that.
A pair of 11-2 and Big 12 Conference Championship teams will be celebrated during the upcoming 2024 Baylor Football season, as the Bears plan to recognize student-athletes from the 2013 and 2014 teams.
On Nov. 2 when Baylor plays TCU at McLane Stadium, the program will commemorate the 2013 and 2014 Big 12 Conference Championship teams.
🔺 On The Mics. Great food, great insight and Baylor fam? What could be better?
The Baylor Coach’s Show Live at Rudy’s is back tonight with Olympic Coach and BU track & field leader Michael Ford, as well as BU men’s tennis head man Michael Woodson.
Coach Ford and Woodson, live on the mics at 6 pm TONIGHT!
