🔺 Brunch With the Bears. On Tuesday night, many Baylor fans watched on TV as the Bears opened their season their 2023-24 season in thrilling fashion.

Today, fans can get their first look at the Green &. Gold and maybe an early lunch with an 11 am showdown with NAIA foe John Brown University at the Ferrell Center.

Sure, you’ve read about Ja’Kobe Walter’s incredible opening performance, but the balance was on display as he was one of five Bears in double-figures, including incoming transfer RayJ Dennis, who added 15 points in his Baylor debut.

Baylor is starting the 2023-24 season in light speed with four games in the first week, including today’s showdown, followed by home games on Sunday (Gardner-Webb at 4pm) and Tuesday (Kansas City at 9pm).

🔺 On The Road Again. Not one, but two streaks will be up for grabs on Saturday when the BU football team hits the road again to take on the defending Big 12 Champion, Kansas State Wildcats.

Baylor will be looking to win their third straight showdown at K-State as well as trying to stay undefeated on the road in 2023 with two road wins under their belts already.

K-State sits in second in the Big 12 and is coming off an OT loss in Austin, while the Bears are looking to bounce back after a heartbreaker in Waco last week.

Kickoff in Manhattan is set for 2 p.m. CST.

📝: Game Notes For The Saturday Showdown

Along one of Waco’s most respected drives, 15 minutes from Baylor, 10 minutes from Ridgewood Country Club and Lake Waco, sits this prominent community focal point.

With over 4800 sf feet in total with a fully equipped guest apartment included, on over an acre and a half - this Waco home is incomparable. Set back on the exceptionally large lot and peeking through hundred-year-old live oak trees, visitors are greeted by a distinguished wrought iron tracery and columns framing a southern French style front porch.

The entire estate has been meticulously restored, including electrical, plumbing, full finish out and more. In any major Texas city, this home would be unattainable and twice the expense. Here in Waco, it is one of the most prestigious and beautiful homes there is.
