When Baylor and Illinois square off Wednesday in Houston at the Texas Bowl (5 p.m. CT, ESPN), the 60,000+ fans at Reliant Stadium and the millions of viewers nationwide will see a pair of dynamic offenses. Illinois’ primary weapon is All-American RB Mikel Leshoure, who ranks eighth nationally in rushing yards per game (averaging 126 […]
Five years ago, Carrington Marzett was diagnosed with leukemia, enduring eight months of treatment at MD Anderson in Houston. With her cancer now in remission, Marzett is today a junior business major at Baylor — but her efforts continue to help other children fighting cancer, especially during this Christmas season. While at MD Anderson, Marzett […]
Sometimes in life, it’s the littlest ones who challenge us. That can be with the really big things — pushing us to re-examine our faith or other priorities, for example — or with more day-to-day thoughts, such as our team spirit. Last week we shared this little guy’s picture via @BaylorProud‘s Twitter account; today, we […]
Another day, another Bear on television — and another one appropriate for this time of year, considering how many people seem to connect food with the holidays. Megan Lasiter Rountree, BBA ’08, is one of seven remaining competitors on TLC’s Cake Boss: The Next Great Baker, which airs Mondays at 8 p.m. CT. Rountree and […]
If you were flipping channels Saturday night and settled on the Hallmark Channel, you probably didn’t realize you were watching the work of a Baylor graduate. Over the weekend, Hallmark debuted Battle of the Bulbs, a comedy about two former best friends — played by Daniel Stern (Home Alone, City Slickers) and Matt Frewer (best […]
As mentioned yesterday, there aren’t too many tickets left for the Texas Bowl. It should be another great opportunity for Baylor Nation to show its support for the Bears to a national audience, as the game between the Bears and Illinois will be nationally televised on ESPN. This is indeed our year to “Rise Up.” […]
Baylor fans, I have to commend you once again: After being challenged to “Rise Up” and show your support for BU athletics this summer, you absolutely have done that. For starters, Baylor football posted the program’s highest average home attendance (40,043 per game) since 1995, and the total attendance for the year (240, 259) ranks […]
As we look back over the last year at Baylor, we’ve really got a lot to be thankful for (and proud of); whether it’s a multitude of athletic successes or academic achievements, the welcoming of a new university president or the way our students gave of themselves on mission trips all over the world, I’m […]
Prayer of all kinds is common at Baylor, from public, communal prayers in Chapel or on-campus Bible studies, to private whispered prayers in a dorm room or before a test (especially now, during finals). But students aren’t the only ones covering the BU campus in prayer; each month, groups of Baylor parents gather all over […]
We shared via @BaylorProud on Twitter last month when the Baylor name made the cover of Sports Illustrated not once, but twice, as the men’s basketball team made SI’s top 20 and the women actually topped SI’s top 10; both lists were detailed on the cover of the magazine’s college basketball preview issue. Inside, a […]
