Baylor never made it easy on their fans, but in the end they got it done, knocking off the 14th-ranked team in the nation on national television Friday night.

The Baylor soccer team played two games this weekend in Louisville, Ky., and returned to Waco with one win and one loss. On Friday, the Bears (4-1-1) used three second-half goals to fly past Louisville (1-3-1), 3-0. In Sunday’s match against Kentucky, the Bears fell 2-1, despite outshooting the Wildcats (5-0-0), 20-9.

Student government at Baylor has been around since 1913, but the group still plans to raise awareness for the work it does on campus. Zach Rogers, student body president, traveled to send-off parties for future Baylor students and also represented student government at every Line Camp and orientation this summer.

Baylor’s two ROTC programs have moved out of their longtime home on the southwest corner of campus in the old university health center into a newly renovated facility in the Speight Plaza Parking Garage.

The Bears volleyball team powered their way through West Virginia University 3-0 (25-14, 25-19, 25-20) Monday night at the Ferrell Center.

Jay-Z and Kanye West are both known for their powerful solo albums, but perhaps the two have found a second calling as collaborators. “Watch the Throne” – which is a joint effort from the two rappers – is an outright success and is one of the best albums I have had the opportunity to listen to this year.

President Ken Starr called it “epic.” Coach Art Briles said it was “classic,” and junior Mike Hicks, whose interception sealed Baylor’s 50-48 win over TCU Friday night, couldn’t find the words to describe it.

Wow. Just wow. I’ll start with the obvious, in case you missed the game Friday night. In front of a packed house and a national ESPN audience, Baylor football knocked off 14th-ranked TCU, 50-48, in a game that can truly be described as “epic.”
