The theme for Baylor Football 2010 is “Rise Up.” Just as the Baylor Nation rose up to help keep the Big 12 together this summer, Baylor football recognizes the need to rise up and earn that elusive bowl bid this fall. In a series of well-received commercials, members of the team describe how they will […]
Okay, so you’re one of those who really plans ahead, and you’re all set for Baylor Homecoming 2010. You’ve made your travel plans for that weekend (Oct. 21-23), ordered your tickets (for the whole football season or that particular game and for Pigskin). So what’s left? Your Homecoming sweatshirt! Homecoming 2010 gear (hoodie, long-sleeve and […]
While Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan and Pittsburgh attorney Chuck Greenberg are the public faces of the team approved yesterday as the new owners of the Texas Rangers, the lead investors behind the sale are Dallas billionaire Ray Davis and Baylor’s own Bob Simpson, BBA ’70, MS ’71 (pictured). Simpson — whose gift to […]
For the second time this week, a connection between Baylor and the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business popped up on my radar.

I learned over the weekend of the passing of a couple of loyal Baylor Bears: economist, educator and civil servant Dr. Richard Benjamin Goode and philanthropist and champion of education Mildred Cornelius Carlile.

I remember a Sunday School teacher describing Timothy as a role model to us kids — a young man who accomplished great things. That example came to mind when I read about two young Baylor graduates who were recently recognized […]

This year, it’s easier than ever for all Baylor fans to get tickets for this fall’s main events! Football season ticket […]
Via Twitter (follow @BaylorProud!), we asked for examples of how you show your Baylor pride at the office. (Not to be confused with The Office, which of course stars proud Baylor graduate Angela Kinsey.) We got plenty of responses — enough to fill this photo gallery. Football mini-helmets, Growl Towels and framed diplomas seem to […]
If your summer vacation itinerary included flying somewhere, chances are good you traveled on American Airlines; AA carried more than 85 million passengers last year, second-most among all U.S. airlines. But I’ll bet you didn’t know that American — ranked #120 in the most recent Fortune 500 — has a Baylor Bear leading the company. […]
We initially left out one important word in our entry on Bears in Texas government last week. Baylor graduates Thomas Brown, James Alexander and Thomas R. Phillips should have been identified as past Texas Supreme Court CHIEF Justices; including those three, nearly 20 Bears have served on the Texas Supreme Court, a list that includes […]
