…2005 squad that won the second national championship in Baylor athletics’ history. But we shouldn’t forget that it was Sonja Hogg — Mulkey’s coach during her playing days at Louisiana Tech — who began Baylor’s rise.

This 30-second commercial previews the episode, and FX has clips from the show online here, here, here and here. Sic ’em, Ray, for your willingness to help others learn, and an extra-big sic ’em to those who deal with such disabilities everyday, for your courage in the face of adversity!…

What we really like to see are long runs of success — like the 43-1 record in Big 12 play that Baylor’s women’s tennis team has racked up the last four seasons. Baylor’s School of Music has its own success rate to brag about.

…d engineering. As a Goldwater Scholar, Yaquian’s award will cover tuition, fees, books, room and board up to $7,500 for one year as he continues his education. His long list of honors is impressive, but I’m even more impressed by his attitude. Here’s what he had to say after winning the award: “I feel that I have been blessed just to have the opportunity to attend college because a college education was never guaranteed to me, so I never forget to…
…nding the last dozen years as president of Publix, Florida’s No. 1 grocery store chain and a market leader in the southeast, Crenshaw was promoted to CEO of the company last month.
