When the Texas Rangers open the 2011 World Series in St. Louis Wednesday night, Baylor alum David Murphy will likely be in the starting lineup once again after hitting .412 and starting four of six games in the ALCS. (The Rangers are an impressive 5-1 this postseason when Murphy starts, but just 2-2 when he […]
Senior finance and economics double-major Grant Magness (pictured) was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy at the age of 15. The time he spent at Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas sparked Grant’s interest in a healthcare career — which, in turn, helped lead him to Baylor. Across multiple departments and even schools, Baylor is emerging as a […]
It’s Fall Break here at Baylor today, giving BU students extra time to get to College Station for the big game between No. 20 Baylor and No. 21 Texas A&M tomorrow. We’re gonna take it easy today, too, and enjoy the fall weather (53 degrees outside at 9 a.m.!). Hope you’re having a great fall, […]
In recent years, the Baylor-Texas A&M rivalry has become a great one — not just in football, but across almost every sport. (Think back to the five-overtime men’s basketball game, or the Lady Bears’ four meetings with the Lady Aggies last season, or any number of classic baseball series.) Sadly, this Saturday’s game in College […]
You can find Drayton McLane’s name all over the Baylor campus. The most well-known examples are the McLane Student Life Center, named for his family thanks to their help in getting that facility built, and the carillon bells in Pat Neff Hall that his family’s generosity helped provide, but McLane, BBA ’58, has given generously […]
Ok, perhaps the alliteration is a little silly… But isn’t that what Freshman Follies is all about? The tradition continued earlier this month, giving first-year Baylor students an opportunity (excuse?) to get messy and act like little kids with their fellow young adults. Participants gathered on Fountain Mall and got to work, as you can […]
As a Baylor fan, I can’t overstate my excitement at hearing TCU will join the Big 12. As a private school just 90 miles up the road, the Baylor-TCU rivalry should be a natural fit — particularly given the heated showdowns the Bears and Horned Frogs have enjoyed on the football field the last two […]
Among the crowd at Floyd Casey Stadium Saturday for the Bears’ win over Iowa State were five of Baylor’s newest fans: the Jones quintuplets, Brooklyn Faith, Britton Grace, Jack William, Lila Addison and Ryan Elizabeth. The quintet (plus oldest daughter Eliot) are the children of Ethan Jones, MBA ’11, and his wife Casey; the family […]
Few schools can boast of having true national player of the year candidates in all three major sports like Baylor has in Robert Griffin III, Perry Jones III and Brittney Griner. As we’ve noted already, RG3 is among the Heisman frontrunners as football approaches midseason. (As of this week, he’s No. 2 in the Scripps […]
Congratulations to Baylor volleyball coach Jim Barnes, who became the winningest coach in program history last night when the Bears swept Texas Tech. In seven-plus seasons at Baylor, Barnes has compiled a 130-112 record for a .537 winning percentage, also best in BU volleyball history. He joins four other current Baylor head coaches who also […]
