Food to an athlete is essentially the fuel necessary for peak performance. When it comes to the Baylor men’s tennis team, food is vital to performing at the highest level and quickly recovering. The routine is different for many athletes but the goal is the same — load up on food to provide the body with enough energy to last the body through a possibly grueling three-hour marathon match.

Peanuts, popcorn, hot dogs, cotton candy, nachos all mixed together with … home runs, stolen bases and double plays. Sounds like a match made in heaven. For years, that type of food and a baseball game have gone together perfectly. Baylor Ballpark, however, has added a new dimension to the ballpark experience by offering a greater assortment of food.
Few things define Waco as much as Dr Pepper does. It has been a staple in Waco since its creation where the drink was created in the 1880s.
It’s hard to believe, but it used to be the norm for American families to sit down and eat a home-cooked meal every night. This lifestyle, prominent in the 1950s and ‘60s, seems to have disappeared over the past decades, but it may be making a comeback.
Wes Craven’s gleeful postmodern thriller “Scream” (1996) introduced us to a generation of teenagers raised on horror movies who couldn’t stop talking about the genre’s cliches. Fifteen years later, the kids in “Scream 4” haven’t just seen the classic horror movies, they’ve also seen the remakes, reboots and postmodern glosses – these days, to embrace a cliche is its own form of creativity.
This spring is all about the hi-low hemlines – well, Free People (www.freepeople.com) thinks so at least. A trend report that engulfs the homepage, with a classy model demonstrating “the look,” invites us to read their blog, Bldg 25, about this ‘70s trend that is now coming back into style.
U2 isn’t a band that does things on the cheap. When frontman Bono and guitarist The Edge went to Broadway, they did so via “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark,” which has already earned itself the distinction of being the most expensive show in Broadway history.
Like the adage about bad publicity, R&B singer Chris Brown proves that there’s also no such thing as a bad meltdown on national TV as long as they spell your name correctly and plug your new album.
March showers. Blooming flowers. And a hike in the cost of clothing. Didn’t expect that last one as a sign of spring, did you? Well, this season will be remembered as the first time in a decade that the cost of clothing, particularly cotton, will go up instead of down.
Due to continuing contract negotiations between “Mad Men” creator Matt Weiner and AMC, the series will not return until early 2012, the network said on Tuesday.
Colin Firth said he didn’t like it, but a new version of “The King’s Speech” is heading to theaters just the same.
The Big Apple. The city that never sleeps. Gotham City. The Melting Pot. New York, New York. This legendary city serves as a backdrop for writers, musicians and artists and their works, both recent and classics. They describe its glimmer, its expansiveness, its overcrowding, its remarkable skyscrapers, its diverse population, all of this and more. For many years growing up, these descriptions entranced me. It is the city where dreams come true. I was fixated on this metropolis, and it was my goal to make it there one day.
You are what you eat is an age-old phrase, used by moms and grandmothers across the nation to scare children into eating healthier, but most people do not take it as literally as artist and Baylor alumnus Mark Menjivar has.
Do make a schedule. Planning never hurt anyone and it’s always good to prepare yourself for everything that could happen during SXSW. Austin is probably the craziest city in America for this week, a little guidance couldn’t be all that bad.
Just in time for its upcoming Fort Worth conference April 1 to 3, Passion released “Here For You,” recorded in Atlanta in January.
Austin’s 24th annual South by Southwest was nothing short of a roaring success. The atmosphere was complete with excessive foot traffic, eclectic garb and the guarantee that, long after the event is over, your ears will ring for days on end.
AUSTIN – Calling the film “the biggest struggle of my professional career,” Jodie Foster introduced “The Beaver,” her drama starring the troubled Mel Gibson as a depressed father who reinvents himself with the help of a hand puppet, to its first public audience at the South by Southwest Film Conference and Festival on Wednesday night in Austin.
As he tells it, Bradley Cooper in 1999 is just another awestruck theater student in the audience of James Lipton’s interview show “Inside the Actors Studio.” Then the hunk with the laser-blue eyes seizes the chance to ask a question of Robert De Niro, his idol, his lodestar, the guy who inspired him to be an actor. De Niro tells him it’s a good one. It exceeds Cooper’s wildest dreams.
Zoo Studio, a band on Baylor’s Uproar Record label, launched its pre-order website for its “The Black and White” EP Monday.
Now into its second quarter-century, its rebellious youth largely a memory and its adolescence rapidly receding into the past, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s annual induction ceremony canonized Neil Diamond, the Alice Cooper band, Tom Waits, Dr. John and Darlene Love as its newest performer honorees on Monday night at the Waldorf Astoria in Manhattan.
We can officially enjoy more sunshine thanks to daylight-saving time, and we’re finally free to pack up our snow boots and heavy coats.
Watch the skies. They’re coming to get us all. “They,” of course, are aliens. Not from South of the Border. From outer space.
Dr. Lynne Gackle, associate director of choir ensembles, is the first to address a little-known aspect of the music world — female vocal maturation — in her new book, “Finding Ophelia’s Voice, Opening Ophelia’s Heart: Nurturing the Adolescent Female Voice.”
“Rango” is a big, unruly hoot. The first animated effort from director Gore Verbinski is an homage/sendup of cowboy cliches – and about a half dozen other movie genres to boot.
So Charlie Sheen says he is on a drug called Charlie Sheen. Can you imagine how long the commercial would have to be to list all the side effects of that? One of them, apparently, is that those who talk to the “Two and a Half Men” star, whose hit CBS sitcom has shut down production for at least the rest of this season, seem to think they are the only ones doing it.
If you were watching the Oscars on Sunday night, the narrative of “The King’s Speech” beating “The Social Network” played out on several levels. The Tom Hooper film won in four major categories – best picture, director and actor, as well as in one of the two screenplay categories – the first time since “The Silence of the Lambs” 19 years ago that a single movie walked away with that quartet of prizes.
Adam Buckley, a Sigma Zeta Chi pledge, sits blindfolded in the back of a van. He learns that the final fraternity initiation requires a convenience store robbery.
Ever since my first CD and first concert (it was DCTalk, and yeah, I’ll admit it,) I’ve been a self-prescribed music critic. Whether or not my tastes are good at any point in time is completely subjective, but I’ve heard and seen a lot, maybe just enough to at least know what is pleasing to the ears.
Looking back at our coverage of the Oscar ceremonies, one tradition is painfully clear: Critics make lousy guests.
The cool atmosphere, spacious outdoor seating and friendly wait staff are only a few of the reasons for students to stop into the relatively new, Shorty’s Pizza Shack, located in the shopping center at 12th Street and Bagby Avenue.
