…ur local mall will give you a good idea of what American culture values: Beauty. Comfort. Entertainment. Wealth. In answer to that, five Baylor students have boldly stepped forward to carry the banner of a different message, launching what is now known as the Live 31 Movement. It all began just after Thanksgiving, when freshman Alex Eklund posted a simple Facebook status update: “I’d rather have a Proverbs 31 woman than a Victoria’s Secret model.”…
…. Nine wins and a No. 12 ranking for football (plus the chance for a school-record 10th win in the Alamo Bowl). A No. 1-ranked women’s basketball team, with the men also ranked in the top 10. Soccer and volleyball each made the NCAA tournament this fall. And of course, there’s that new football stadium on the way.

The bowl will also mark Baylor football’s first game in San Antonio since the 1994 Alamo Bowl (which, incidentally, was the Bears’ last bowl appearance until last December). Heisman candidate Robert Griffin III will face a Washington team that finished 7-5 on the season, 5-4 in the Pac-12, good for third in its div…

The architect’s preliminary vision is for a 45,000- to 50,000-seat stadium, open on one end to look out across the Brazos at the Baylor campus, with a red-brick exterior to match Baylor’s campus architecture. A foot bridge would span the river to allow fans and students to walk freely from campus to the stadium and back and offer boat access to the stadium as well. The project would likely have a price tag somewhere in the…
