@@@ Coming off last year鈥檚 Big 12 championship, as the Bears gear up for their Aug. 31 season opener against SMU at McLane Stadium.

The No. 10 Bears will open preseason drills at 2:50 p.m. at the Highers Athletics Complex practice <a href=http://www.louisvuittontassenkopen.com/goedkoop-louis-vuitton-alma-12>Louis Vuitton Alma Tassen</a> fields.
With all the excitement surrounding the program, Baylor coach Art Briles said it鈥檚 important to keep his team focused during the next four weeks of practice leading up to the SMU game.
鈥淢y whole deal is you can鈥檛 get excited without preparation,鈥?Briles said. 鈥淪o our goal right now is we鈥檙e just going to prepare. We can鈥檛 go over and slap each other on the back and hug necks and smile and grin, and then go out there and not perform.鈥?
The Bears will practice Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday before holding the 鈥淢eet the Bears鈥?intrasquad scrimmage at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at the Highers Athletics Complex. Following the scrimmage, Baylor players and coaches will be available for autographs at the Allison Indoor Practice Facility.
Along with the veterans, Baylor signed 20 freshmen and four junior college transfers in its 2014 class. Seven of those players enrolled at Baylor in January and participated in spring drills.
Additionally, offensive lineman Ishmael Wilson transferred from Texas A M to Baylor. Wilson will have to sit out this year under NCAA <a href=http://www.louisvuittontassenkopen.com/goedkoop-louis-vuitton-speedy-17>Louis Vuitton tassen Speedy</a> transfer rules unless he鈥檚 granted a hardship waiver to play immediately.
While many players established themselves as starters during the spring, several positions will likely be contested throughout August.
Much of the focus will be at linebacker and the secondary. Fifth-year walk-on Collin Brence emerged from the spring as the starting nickelback but will be pushed by sophomore Patrick Levels. Sophomore weakside linebacker Aiavion Edwards is battling redshirt freshmen Taylor Young and Raaquan Davis.
鈥淏oth Taylor and Aiavion had a good spring,鈥?Briles said. 鈥淭aylor has instincts and loves the game. He knows how to get around the ball. Collin (Brence) is a smart, tough kid. (Junior college transfer) Grant Campbell is another guy we think will be able to get into the mix before it鈥檚 over.鈥?
Both cornerback positions are up for grabs with sophomores Xavien Howard, Terrence Singleton and Ryan Reid and junior college transfer Chris Sanders among the top contenders.
Junior safety Terrell Burt is the only returning starter in the secondary. Sophomore Orion Stewart emerged from the spring with a starting safety spot while sophomore Taion Sells and redshirt freshman Alfred Pullom will also battle for time. Redshirt freshman safety Austin Jupe transferred to UTSA.
Offensively, sophomore Tre鈥橵on Armstead and junior Gus Penning are vying for time at tight end. Juniors LaQuan McGowan and Blake Muir are locked in a battle at left guard. Muir, a native of Australia, sat out last season under NCAA rules after transferring from Hawaii.
鈥淏lake鈥檚 a guy that鈥檚 got to contribute,鈥?Briles said. 鈥淲e didn鈥檛 bring him here to teach us the Australian fight song.鈥?
Several players who missed all or part of spring practice with injuries have been cleared to play, including offensive tackle Spencer Drango (back injury), receiver Davion Hall (shoulder), linebacker Bryce Hager (groin), defensive end Sam Ukwuachu (torn <a href=http://www.louisvuittontassenkopen.com/goedkoop-louis-vuitton-portemonn-16>Louis Vuitton Portemonn</a> pectoral) and Burt (shoulder).
鈥淲e鈥檙e geared up and ready to go,鈥?Briles said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 that time of year. The hiding鈥檚 over. It鈥檚 time to come out of the shadows and play. We鈥檙e very excited about 2014 without any question because our guys have learned to win at the highest level and have worked diligently on and off the football field to keep our name good, and that鈥檚 what it鈥檚 all about.鈥?

-All American Rejects' great performance is Musikfest's 'Dirty Little Secret'The All-American Rejects performed Saturday night at Sands Steel Stage (CHRIS KNIGHT, SPECIAL TO )August 03, 2014|By Taylor Farnsworth, Of The Morning CallAt the All American Rejects concert at Musikfest's Steel Stage on Saturday, it was clear the band knows where its success lies.It began with "Dirty Little Secret," a 2005 song that's one of the band's best known. With a handful of hits to its name, relevance to the Top-40 crowd dwindling and no big hits since "Gives You Hell" in 2008, the band still <a href=http://www.louisvuitton-pascher.com>Yayoi Kusama Louis Vuitton Soldes</a> knew how to please a crowd.As the festival's first national headlining act of 2014 after ZZ Top's opening-night cancellation, the Rejects drew just 2,477 people a number that was boosted by a lot of recent ticket giveaways, but still will be Musikfest's lowest this year.But that didn't hurt the quality of the show. Instead, with a lively performance, All American Rejects may just be the "Dirty Little Secret" of this year's Musikfest.Lead singer Tyson Ritter's stage presence was electric giving it his all and proving that at age 30 and a dozen years after starting All American Rejects, he's still got it.Throughout the set, Ritter teased the crowd, mixing hits with lesser-known tracks. As he did, he made sure to make comments to the audience about knowing what songs they really wanted to hear.As a band that achieved most of its success a decade ago, the Rejects are clearly aware that most of the crowd was there for the band's hit singles. Despite that, they managed to give a balanced performance, with some of the deeper cuts proving to be as much standouts as the hits."My Paper Heart" from the Rejects' first album was among the earlier tracks that seemed to seamlessly transition from recording to a live setting. The band continued its set with songs such as the "Beekeeper's Daughter" from its latest album, 2012's "Kid in the Street," "Walk Over Me" and "Stab My Back" before returning to hits with "Swing Swing."The crowd's energy was apparent on that last song, with much of the audience <a href=http://www.louisvuitton-pascher.com/23-sac-porte-epaule>Sac port锟斤拷 锟斤拷paule</a> singing along.Ritter was charming even when singing darker songs, making "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" jokes and commenting about scooping up dead goldfish back home. With a little bit of banter about a high-school-aged Ritter forming the band, the group transitioned to an acoustic number with "Mona Lisa," one of the sweeter, standout songs of the night.The band continued with "One More Sad Song" and "It Ends Tonight." Both tracks are more solemn in their messages, but showed that Ritter doesn't always need to be dancing around the stage to keep your attention.The band then finished its 14-song set with "Move Along," before returning for a two-song encore with the title track from "Kids in the Street," then "Gives You Hell."On that last song, the crowd went crazy, jumping up and down, full of energy, proving the All American Rejects still have it.With a set of songs that are an ode to love and relationships whether telling an ex that you hope your face gives them hell, or falling apart over a breakup the band brought a bit of angst to the stage.Even if you're experiencing none of these things, the band's stage presence and Ritter's electric personality showed the All American Rejects isn't a band to be forgotten. Maybe just kept a dirty little secret.MORE MUSIKFEST ONLINE Schedule of events Photo galleries Concert reviews Performer interviewshttp://www.mcall.com/musikfestFeatured ArticlesMore:Related Articles<br>November 29, 2012<br>July 9, 2010<br>April 28, 2005<br>September 13, 2012<br>October 22, 2005Find More Stories About|||Please note the green-lined linked article <a href=http://www.louisvuitton-pascher.com/24-sac-porte-main>Sac port锟斤拷 main</a> text has been applied commercially without any involvement from our newsroom editors, reporters or any other editorial staff.
