Head coach Glenn Moore’s Baylor softball team will be depending on the strong left arm of freshman pitcher Whitney Canion to lead the Lady Bears this spring. And what an arm it is! Canion, the Texas Gatorade Player of the Year as a high school senior last year in Aledo, Texas, has been clocked as […]
If you’ve been to a Baylor football, basketball, baseball, softball or volleyball game since 2002, you’ve seen the work of BaylorVision — Baylor’s in-house video production group — on the video boards at Floyd Casey Stadium, the Ferrell Center, Baylor Ballpark and Getterman Stadium.

Tonight, Baylor men’s basketball will face Kansas on ESPN as the Ferrell Center hosts “Big Monday” for only the second time in school history.

A random bit of trivia for you: Baylor is believed to be the only university in the U.S. to have two former student-athletes receive the Congressional Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest military honor for bravery.

After eight years of having President George W. Bush often vacationing in nearby Crawford, it’s a little odd to think that the annual media spotlight on Central Texas is coming to an end now as Barack Obama takes the reins of the presidency. During President Bush’s last days in office, Waco news anchor Julie Hays […]
We’ve had plenty of athletic successes to write about already this year, from football all-Americans to basketball rankings, not to mention volleyball, cross country and equestrian. But it’s worth noting that Baylor athletes aren’t just athletes — they’re student-athletes. And while their performances on the field draw the most attention, their work in the classroom […]
Believe it or not, we’re about at the halfway point of the college basketball season. With the non-conference portion of the schedule complete, the Bears and Lady Bears each begin Big 12 play on Saturday; the men host Texas Tech in the Ferrell Center (12:45 p.m., televised across much of Texas) while the women hit […]
As students return to campus for the spring semester (classes start Monday), Baylor’s spring sports are preparing for their 2009 campaigns.
