…ion efforts in and around Independence, including the renovation and maintenance of the original Baylor campus. If you’re interested in ordering, say, a bag of the “Sic ’em Special” or “1845 Charter Blend,” you can place your order online at independencecoffee.com. I’m not a coffee drinker myself, so hopefully some of you will let me know what you think. This might be a nice Christmas gift for the coffee fans among my friends and family. Sic ’em,…
…ates its 60th birthday today as one of the oldest and best programs in the nation. Detachment 810 was formed at Baylor in 1948, just 10 months after the creation of the Air Force as a separate military branch. And it’s only gotten better with age; Baylor’s bunch was recently named the No. 1 large detachment in the Southwest Region for the second time in five years, beating out 34 other detachments. Baylor will now compete against the top detachmen…
…0 ERA in 14 innings pitched. Besides the U.S., the top competitors in international baseball are Japan and Cuba; Volz closed out wins over each of those teams twice, including a pair of tournament championship games. The Cuba team even ran out its Olympic team roster against the U.S., and Volz held them to just one hit in 2.1 innings, striking out three.

Crockett, a 14-year NFL veteran, won two Super Bowls with the Denver Broncos, and he was there when Denver Lions teammate Mike Utley was paralyzed during a game in 1991. Crockett was clearly moved from the experience, both from what he went through and from others he met who didn’t have any choice about their fate. This 30-second commercial previews the episode, and FX has clips from the show online…
…raduates not to lose touch with your alma mater. Join the Alumni Association, sign up for the Baylor Network to meet fellow Bears in your new home, and make sure your information is up to date in the online directory. Baylor’s not just a school; it’s a family, one I can personally vouch for, and one with which I think you’ll want to stay connected. Sic ’em, Class of 2008!…
…the orphanage started. (Donations are accepted by mail or through her school’s website.) [May 8 update: ABC news anchor Charles Gibson noted on the air last night that Kristin has now raised the $60,000, though I’m sure additional donations would only further the project.] If that doesn’t challenge us to think about our priorities, I don’t know what will. I’m certainly glad that we’ll soon be able to call Kristin a fellow Baylor Bear. Sic ’em, Kr…

There you can read more about the group’s mission and suicide prevention, get updates on their progress, subscribe to their newsletter and even donate to the campaign. A pretty impressive effort for anyone, especially a handful of college students! Sic ’em, Al…
