Congratulations one more time to both the Baylor men’s and women’s basketball teams, and thanks for a wonderful 2007-08 season! For head coach Scott Drew’s men’s squad, it was a season of superlatives: best start since 1946; most wins since 1987-88; most points scored in school history; first top-25 ranking since 1969; first back-to-back weekly […]
Baylor music students represented the University extremely well in national competition last week. (Is it too bad a pun to note that such success is music to our ears?) Juniors Sarah Harris, Ross Ahlhorn and sophomore Adam Gautille competed in the semi-finals of the National Trumpet Competition earlier this month. From an initial field of […]
Over the weekend, Baylor sophomore golfer Colton Williams won the individual title at the Border Olympics. An impressive feat for anyone, especially considering that Williams led the tournament wire-to-wire to claim his first collegiate title. But as Paul Harvey might say, it’s the rest of the story that makes things interesting. A month earlier, Williams […]
Continuing with “Athletics Week” here… While the Baylor basketball teams are gearing up for the NCAA Tournament, the Baylor track and field team just finished their run (pun intended) at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships — and the Baylor men’s 4×400-meter relay team brought home the national championship for the third straight time. […]
For the seventh time in head coach Kim Mulkey’s eight seasons at Baylor, the Lady Bears are headed to the NCAA Tournament! The 12th-ranked Baylor women’s basketball team was named a No. 3 seed when the bracket was released Monday night. The ladies will face Fresno State in the first round, to be played Saturday […]
After compiling the program’s best-ever Big 12 record and its first 20-win season in 20 years, head coach Scott Drew has the Baylor men’s basketball team headed back to the NCAA Tournament! The Bears were named a No. 11 seed in the West region; they will face No. 6 seed Purdue Thursday in Washington, D.C. […]
As Baylor’s basketball programs prepare for NCAA Tournament bracket announcements (men, 5 p.m. CT Sunday on CBS; women, 6 p.m. CT Monday on ESPN), one Lady Bear has been recognized for her performance this year. Senior guard Angela Tisdale was among 17 student-athletes listed on the ballot for the 2008 Women’s John R. Wooden Award, […]
Through its productions and events like the semi-annual Horton Foote American Playwrights Festival, Baylor’s theatre department is making a nice name for the University in the world of theatre. Last week, the Dallas Morning News gave an excellent review to “The Unseen,” a play starring three Baylor theatre professors (Steven Pounders, Stan Denman and Thomas […]
Baylor students, faculty and staff annually volunteer more than 150,000 hours of local community service. The hope is that such an attitude of service continues long after graduation. One young Baylor alum recently was honored for her service, receiving the President’s Volunteer Service Award, which was created by President Bush in 2002 “as a way […]
Sunday at Mississippi State, Baylor baseball head coach Steve Smith became the second coach in school history (across all sports) to reach 500 career wins. Only Mickey Sullivan — who like Smith, lettered at Baylor — ever earned more wins leading the Bears (Sullivan won 649 games between 1974 and 1994). Smith has led Baylor […]
