While the TCU Baylor rivalry is fierce on the football field, the basketball rivalry has remained one-sided. This was on display Wednesday night as the Baylor Bears (13-3) defeated the TCU Horn Frogs (9-7) 82-54 inside the Ferrell Center. The win allowed the Bears to remain undefeated at home on the season. A couple of early misses allowed the Frogs to get some open shots. Fortunately for Baylor, TCU’s jumpers would not fall.

By Joshua Davis & Tyler Cagle, Sports Writers Baylor football began its 2015 campaign with hopes of making the College Football Playoff, but a bevy of crucial injuries proved too costly as the Bears finished their season 9-3. After ending fourth in the Big 12, head coach Art Briles and Baylor are left thinking about what could’ve been. Although the outcome didn’t meet the expectations, the season was not a complete loss, players said. “There are some teams that love to go 9-3, so I don’t really see it as a disappointment,” senior left tackle Spencer Drango said. “The disappointing…

Throughout the semester, the editorial board meets weekly to pitch ideas and vote on four topics to supply the editorials for the following week. After much debate on each issue, the members then take a stance on the topics, flesh out the details and examine counterarguments. Our sharp cartoonist then summons his wit with every single editorial and draws a new comic for each print issue. While some weeks we’re bone dry on good ideas, other times it’s a struggle to narrow it down to just four. Some were proposed in the board several times but never quite made the…
Can you make a bridge out of paper cups, plates and paper clips? Better yet, can you tell a story about it? This is the challenge the Baylor Theme Park and Engineering Design club faces in its monthly meetings. However, these challenges are just for fun. The club focuses on the imagination and innovation in creating theme park attractions. Apple Valley, Calif. junior Chad Regensberg, a mechanical engineering major, founded the club after discovering his own career path. Unsure of the engineering field that he wanted to pursue, he looked to something familiar. “I was really interested [in theme parks],”…

Over this semester, as an editorial board we’ve struggled with debating issues both inside and outside of our nation. We’ve listed them on a whiteboard week after week and weighed the multicultural opinions of several different perspectives in the room. We’ve made educated arguments with the intention of displaying both sides of every issue that comes into debate. And while we write editorials with the hopes of creating conversation outside the confines of the boardroom, we’re sometimes left in silence when something beyond what we can fathom comes into this world. In light of events throughout the semester far too…
By McKenna Middleton, ContributorA single westerner’s death is a tragedy; a million Middle Easterners’ deaths are a statistic. It’s disheartening, to say the least, that some of the most influential nations in the world have adopted a mantra similar to that of ruthless dictator Joseph Stalin. The aftermath of the Paris attacks has resulted in demands for tighter border control in Europe and other western nations, particularly in regards to immigration for Syrian refugees in need of aid and relocation. The UN estimates over 6.5 million people have been forced to flee Syria as a result of these same kinds…
In this week’s adventure for Cookbook Confessions, I cooked up some “Baby Porcupines”, a recipe which thankfully does not require the actual anatomical parts of a porcupine. That would be sad and, perhaps more importantly, very difficult to acquire.
The No. 4 Lady Bears continued their winning ways Wednesday at the Ferrell Center, beating the Rice Owls 89-38.
