After opening the season with a 24-21 win against Wake Forest Saturday afternoon,the Baylor football team will enjoy a bye week this coming Saturday before hosting UConn Sept. 19 for the Bears' home opener. Here are head coach Art Briles' thoughts on the Bears' win over Wake Forest and the Sept....

Thanks to Baylor's win at Wake Forest, the Bears 9-game losing streak ended. I think Baylor will get at least another victory away from Waco. BAYLOR FOOTBALL: A NEW DIRECTION; A BETTER RESULT! :)

Not of the players, but of the fans. I gotta admit that in the fourth quarter I said to myself, here we go again, losing another one at the end of the game. Now I have to admit that it is going to take some time for me to adjust to thinking that we are going to win. A few more games like this...

I was very impressed with the big plays Baylor had both on offense and defense last Saturday. Art Briles went deep in the playbook with some great trick and gadget plays with different formations which created opportunities for TDs on offense, and pressure with turnovers, and decent overall...

I believe we are 10 - 1 this first week with CU still to play . So who had the most impressive week one ? Would be easy to say Oklahoma State in beating Georgia ( At home ) Or BU at Wake . Texas , Aggies , TT , NU , KU all won with ease as expected . But the game that surprised me...

Before kickoff, everybody focuses on the video screen. It shows a clip from "Cinderella Man" where a boxer is sitting in his corner at the end of a round after taking a serious beating. His manager says something like, "What's wrong with you? You knocked this guy out a year ago!" The dejected...

That was funny. Congrats to the team and Kaz for all of the offseason hardwork. We looked strong physically throughout.

... again. per sacbee.... http://www.sacbee.com/static/weblogs/49ers/archives/2009/09/niners-start-bu.html

Hearing some bad rumors from various sources regarding Sam Bradford's shoulder injury. While the "official" line is "probably" a sprained AC joint, there are other "insiders" popping up and saying it's a torn rotator cuff. A torn rotator cuff was reported on Sooner Scoops (paid site), at least...

yeah, it's too early to start throwing around what our record could be, but I think it's worth a shot to point out some of the things that have shown up in the first week. Here's my take: -With OU losing, this league opens up that much more. Not many people expected that, and it might not...

I've not heard how many season tickets we have sold for this year. Anyone know? How does it compare to last year?

I was talking to a long-time Baylor person that spent quite a few years coaching for the green & gold this morning. I was surprised to hear that he felt that the giving of notice to the residents of Fort Faculty was a precursor to the building of a new stadium. I asked if there might be other...

Good article here by the Wake Forest beat writer: WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – A young fan wearing a Wake Forest T-shirt walked up to a player after the Demon Deacons’ 24-21 loss to Baylor on Saturday and asked for an autograph – Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin’s autograph. As the Demon Deacons...

For 15 years I've been suckered into believing the hype. From Dave Roberts to Guy Morriss, I've allowed myself to get excited every year. In the end though, I've always come up disappointed. All summer I've been trying to temper my enthusiasm knowing what normally happens. But of course I...

I am having Blake Griffin flashbacks here . He will be back in 3 weeks and will play against BU

.... or, maybe he did. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/12166757

Judging after week 1, what team skill-wise would you say is pretty similar to how Wake Forest looked? Im interested in what yall think.

How long will Bradford be out?

Would love to see some fence sitters fall our way after this win. A victory over UCONN will most likely lead to a 4-0 start and who knows Zero U may even be vulnerable if Bradford is out or hampered. Lots of mistakes made this game closer than it ever should have been but this is certainly not the...

It was petty much a total team victory. Offense did what it had to do and so did the defense. The offense took advantage of the breaks the defense gave them. Briles called some surprise plays that were successful. Of those plays, Griffin's quick kick was the biggest surprise to me. It wasn't the...

...on some form of a platform?

...or does that come with a win over nebraska or tech?

Just so we don't all overlook that. He was our best receiver yesterday and he stepped up when called upon. That was the stud David Gettis that we've been looking for the past couple years. A few more games like that and he's going to be a first day draft pick. Great game, David. 5 receptions...

Just noticed that Walton, Pawelek and Lake are on Kiper's Top 5 by-position list for next year's NFL Draft: http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft10/insider/news/story?id=4411797

According to the "Ask Ian" feature on baylorbears.com, Tech has nearly sold out of their ticket allotment. We need to step up our game folks and sell our side out as well... Sic Em Bears!

I had predicted a 3 pt game all along, but refused to pick a winner. You guys had the better team today. TO's is not something our team usually does. Riley looked rusty and the ol looked horrible both supposed strengths. I figured if we lost it would be because Griffin beat us with his feet it is...

After last years game vs UCONN, I realized that this next year would be a blowout in our favor. Last year we played against arguably one of the best RB in the country Ronald Brown, he had 152 yds and 2 tds against us, he was very impressive, now he's with the Dolphins. Their QB had 2 picks and only...

Mark Schlabach and Bruce Feldman have both chalked Baylor up for a bowl after the week one performance. Last week we were not mentioned. Tough the chances are unlikely that we will be facing Navy in the Texas bowl, that would be a tough draw after watching them put Pryor and the buckeyes on the...

The team with the most starting quarterbacks in college football is? UT:
