Bad News for the Baylor Bears?

Critics are saying that the Baylor Bears have been over-hyped. Although changes were made and there was a shake up in the preseason to the Baylor Bears roster, many say that Baylor Bears fans are optimistic if the bears do better than 5-7 record. Last year the Bears posted a 4-8 record from the regular season and made it 15 straight seasons without a Bowl Game appearance.

In the early preseason, some Big 12 analysts began to spread rumors and hype that this would be the season that the Bears come back… now many are saying it is like watching the Bad News Bears, the team is just not as competitive as its larger Big 12 counterparts and waiting for a miracle is pretty pointless.

Honestly, I can’t say one way or the other. For me Iowa State should always be at the top and we are always under-rated, so who am I to hate on another Big 12 underdog… but at the same time, if you have the bark of a big dog and the bite of a little guy maybe it is time to re-evaluate. After next week’s game against Connecticut fans and critics alike should have a better idea of what type of team we will see this season.
