• #BearsOfBaylor — “It’s really eye-opening to see … how we’ve kept the tradition alive for so long.”

    “I’m from Waco, so I’ve been coming to basketball games since I was six months old. It’s really nice to transition from the fans to the student section. There’s a lot of energy.”

    [What do you know about the Immortal Ten?]
    “Our freshman year, they take you into Waco Hall and tell you about the history of it and everything. You do a candlelight vigil walking out. It’s really eye-opening to see the way the community has kind of responded to that and how we’ve kept the tradition alive for so long. Every year around Homecoming they light the torch… It’s really nice to say people who came here back in the early 1900s did the same exact thing that we’re doing now, and we’re helping to keep that alive. It really brings the whole community together.

    “I’m actually related to Jack Castellaw [one of the Immortal Ten]… It’s nice to see that the basketball athletes are involved in the same traditions that we students get involved in. It’s good to see that they’re students too and human, you know?”
