Kickoff is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. CT with the game airing on Fox College Sports Central. The game is available in the Waco area on Time […]
I have to admit – I tuned into last night’s American League Division Series game between Cleveland and New York simply hoping to see the Yankees lose. It was then a pleasant surprise to see former Baylor all-American Kelly Shoppach catching for the Indians. Even better, Shoppach went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles and […]
Soccer fans, you have three more chances to see one of the best goalkeepers in Big 12 Conference history play in Waco. Senior Ashley Noah, the Bears’ keeper for the past four seasons, broke former Baylor all-American Dawn Greathouse’s conference record for career saves this weekend against Oklahoma State. In the process, Noah became the […]
Sometimes it seems colleges forget that student-athletes are just that — students first, then athletes. But not at Baylor! For the sixth time in the Big 12 Conference’s 12-year history, the Bears lead the league in football graduation rate. The latest Graduation Success Rate (GSR) numbers from the NCAA show that 84% of Baylor football […]
The last three Battles of the Brazos have been decided by a total of 14 points, including a pair of overtime games. This Saturday’s game promises more of the same, as Baylor and Texas A&M each come in with a 3-1 record. The folks at Versus (formerly the Outdoor Life Network) recognized the game’s potential […]
Baylor’s improved running game got most of the attention Saturday after the Bears’ 34-21 win at Buffalo, but in my book, the player of the game had to be sophomore safety Jordan Lake. Lake pulled down two interceptions and forced two fumbles Saturday, setting up the Bears’ first 10 points plus a third-quarter field goal. […]
As a kid dreaming of being a famous athlete someday, I wondered what it would be like to have my picture in Sports Illustrated. Baylor sophomore Nichole Jones is learning what that’s like after being included in SI‘s “Faces in the Crowd” this week, a top honor for amateur athletes across the country. The Sept. […]
A week after setting school records for passing yards and touchdowns, sophomore quarterback Blake Szymanski nearly broke his own marks Saturday, passing for 411 yards and five touchdowns in Baylor’s win over Texas State. Thanks to Szymanski and the Bears’ spread offense, Baylor currently ranks eighth in the nation in passing yards per game. Just […]
A fantastic weekend for Baylor athletics, as Soccer ran its unbeaten streak to five games with wins over Jacksonville and Stetson; Volleyball went 3-0 to win the SMU/Radisson Invitational; and Women’s Cross Country runners took 1st, 2nd and 3rd at the BYU Autumn Classic, leading the Bears to the team victory. Perhaps most impressive, however, […]
Football has garnered the most attention as Baylor prepares for its 2007 home opener Saturday vs. Rice, but it was Bears in three other sports who received honors worth noting this week. Sophomore Anna Breyfogle was named the Big 12 Volleyball Defensive Player of the Week on Tuesday after helping lead the Bears to a […]
