12.16.2012 Daily Bears Report: Getting Started with UCLA

Not much going on in the world of Baylor sports this Sunday, but the time has come to start prepping for the Holiday Bowl a week from Thursday against the UCLA Bruins.

USA TODAY Sports

This week marks the beginning of ODB's preparation for the Holiday Bowl next Thursday night in San Diego, so the self-imposed embargo against UCLA-focused posts is over. I'll kick things off tomorrow with the "First Look" at the Bruins of the Pac12, and we'll go from there. Any contributor interested in dissecting the matchup, feel free.

As far as everything else goes, there's not all that much Baylor-centric news today or this weekend. Men's basketball plays tomorrow night against USC Upstate, whoever that is, and WBB takes the court the following night in a showdown against perennial power Tennessee. Should be a great week for Baylor sports, I think.
