When your school can rake in a road conference win for football, a road win over a ranked opponent for volleyball, and the first of what’s sure to be many dunks for a freshman Lady Bear, I think it qualifies as an exciting Saturday. Football made waves Saturday afternoon, as the Bears upset Missouri 40-32 […]
Hopefully you were among the thousands of Baylor alums who were able to make it back this weekend for the University’s 100th annual Homecoming. Campus (and, indeed, all of Waco) swarmed with activity as Bears past, present and future enjoyed all the usual events, from Pigskin to Bonfire to the Homecoming Parade to the football […]
Samuel Palmer Brooks was president of Baylor in 1909, when Baylor held the first collegiate Homecoming. Twenty-two years later, he finished writing his Message to the Class of 1931 but passed away before he could share it at graduation. Now known as the Immortal Message, the same man who asked alumni 100 years ago to […]
Only a limited number of people in the world can claim to have played in the NFL. Those who have graduated from Harvard Medical School are a similarly select group. But has anyone besides Dr. Mark Adickes (BBA ’84) done both? Adickes earned all-America honors for the Bears as a senior offensive tackle in 1983 […]
In addition to unveiling a university Facebook page (10,500 fans and counting!) a month or so ago, Baylor has also launched an iTunes U site, offering free downloads of over 300 audio and video files, with more being added weekly. Sports fans will enjoy seeing video highlights posted just a couple of hours after each […]
My wife and I love reciting along with the “I Found Myself at Baylor” commercial that has run the past few years, mostly because the message is true for us. I really did grow up during those formative years of ages 18-22, and I’m so grateful that God led me to spend that time here […]
After a big road win at Wake Forest, Baylor football tomorrow gets to play in front of the home crowd for the first time in 2009. The Bears host UConn Saturday at 4 p.m. (tickets still available, or listen live along the Baylor-ISP Sports Network) as Baylor looks to open the season 2-0. Here at […]
Baylor football’s 2009 season kicks off Saturday, as the Bears head to North Carolina to face Wake Forest. Game time is 2:30 p.m. CT; the game is to be televised regionally on ABC (check your local listings) and ESPN360.com, and of course the audio call of every game is carried along the Baylor-ISP Football Radio […]
In recent years, Baylor men’s basketball has become accustomed to national media exposure. The Bears played a school-record 18 games on the ESPN family of networks last year, and this year’s squad already has nine games slated for ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU. But head coach Scott Drew was featured earlier this week on a national […]
Somewhere in the neighborhood of 3,000 freshmen are experiencing their first day of college classes today at Baylor (meet a few of them here, here and here). That means that late last week, even more students (plus family and friends) descended on Waco for Move-In Day 2009! For the uninitiated, Move-In Day at Baylor is […]
