This upcoming season will be incredibly telling for Matt Rhule and the Baylor program. After winning only one game to Kansas last year, the team is trying to piece together a respectable season. Here are 4 things to look for this offseason.

1. The QB Battle

Charlie Brewer will look to maintain his place as QB1 as freshman Gerry Bohanon tries to take the job. Bohanon is a 4-star dual threat out of Arkansas but is most likely to redshirt and spend a year learning under Brewer. It would still be fun to watch a fight for the starting job though.

2. Byron Hanspard II

Hanspard is one of Rhule’s crown jewel recruits. His father played in the NFL as a running back and passed his athletic abilities down to his son. Hanspard II is a 4-star recruit out of DeSoto High school and is one of the perfect leaders for this Baylor locker room. From just following Hanspard II on Twitter, I’m confident that his leadership and Christian mentality will be displayed for the next 4 years.

3. Wide Receiver Health

Baylor had an absolutely atrocious time with injuries last year. Star receiver Chris Platt went down early with a knee injury, R.J. Sneed had a season-ending leg injury, and Pooh Stricklin took a knock to the foot. With all these players back, the Bear’s receiving core looks lethal, but it will be a major question of recovery and maintenance for these guys.

4. Running Back Health

Injuries happen, but the amount of injuries that the running backs took became a little ridiculous. Terence Williams, JaMycal Hasty, Dru Dixon, John Lovett, and Tristan Ebner all took some form of an injury this past season. Obviously, this can't be the case this offseason or Rhule may have to start signing random kids jogging on treadmills at the SLC.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
