Last season was arguably the greatest football season Baylor has ever known.
As far as individual awards go, Robert Griffin III claimed the most prestigious award in all of college football, the Heisman Trophy.
The million-dollar question, though, is whether or not Baylor can build on last season’s momentum with the loss of RG3.
Baylor’s men’s rugby club is in the Allied Rugby Conference, but it belonged to a different conference in 2011.
Last year, the Baylor rugby club was in the Southwest Rugby Conference.
However, Baylor remains on the Southwest schedule, and the league still considers Baylor a member.
Baylor, along with Texas and Sam Houston State, left the Southwest this offseason for the Allied Rugby Conference.
Texas’ and Sam Houston’s resignations from the Southwest were approved by the league, while Baylor’s was not.
With March Madness over, the intensity of postseason play seems to have extinguished until the NBA lights it up with playoffs in little more than a week.
As Baylor Nation bid adieu to sophomore forward Perry Jones III Monday, it applauded the return of freshman forward Quincy Miller.
Perry Jones III gets enough criticism to make Tim Tebow feel bad for him. I can’t remember a sophomore getting this level of vilification, especially one that averages 14 points and eight rebounds per game.
The last time the Lady Bears made it to the title game, I was in eighth grade, sitting on the couch with my dad, cheering them on.
Hate and ignorance have no place anywhere, and they should definitely not be welcome in sports arenas.
I thought the initial tweet about quarterback Tim Tebow’s trade to the New York Jets was a joke.
I know it hurts now Baylor fans. The men’s basketball team created some attention and momentum with its play in the first two games of the tournament, and it seems like Missouri took it away in one fell swoop.
I am absolutely thrilled with your decisions this year. Although the vast majority of America wants to see a playoff system and there are probably ways to have that make more money anyways, you guys have really stuck to your corrupt principles and kept the BCS Championship series.
The Lariat’s sports desk reveal their picks for the league’s games this week.
The 2011 Texas Rangers are in the World Series. Again. Just think about that.
After the Bears’ 55-28 loss at Texas A&M, the numbers are in, and some of them aren’t pretty.
In the words of Texas Ranger manager Ron Washington, “That’s the way baseball go.”
It is absolutely amazing what difference a month can make. One day you can be on cloud nine without a worry in the world. A month later, everything has fallen apart and your world in shambles.
Postseason baseball is here, as well as college football and cooler weather. What most people may not care about, but I am here to advocate, is the arrival of the 2011-2012 hockey season.
I’ve been a baseball fan for quite some time now. I’ve heard of every statistic one can imagine, and I agree that just as Billy Beane found out, numbers aren’t everything in baseball. But at least one MLB player this season, in perhaps the weakest decision I’ve seen in a long time, thought one statistic was so important that even dignity was worth losing for it.
My love relationship with sports began when I was little, dressed in a Michael Jordan jersey seated on my dad’s lap. It has grown over the years as my dad has introduced me to different ones. I remember watching the Cowboys in the late 90’s, sharing the frustrations of my dad with the lack of athletic ability on the field. I remember fighting off sleep as I watched the Dallas Stars win the Stanley Cup in 1999. I remember my first Texas Rangers’ game and the excitement the atmosphere brought.
Drive down Interstate 35 heading southbound and you will see an interesting new billboard. It’s in the ugliest strangest color too: maroon.
Let it be said upfront that I am a Houston Texans fan and, therefore, I love seeing the Cowboys fall apart on opening night yet again.
Watching the game from the press box has its many perks, but few experiences in athletics are quite like viewing an exhilarating, dramatic game from the stands.
The NFL lockout scared many fans, myself included, into thinking we might not see a season this year.
Las Vegas has the Boston Red Sox winning the American League. ESPN’s analysts mostly have Boston, and none have the Rangers. What does this tell me?
Welcome, students. I hope you are having another wonderful day. As your professor, I ask that you please get out your pen and paper to take notes on what we learned from Major League Baseball’s opening weekend. As a student at Baseball University, I am sure you won’t have a problem with this.
It’s been a while since the Lariat has seen so many letters to the editor on a single topic. Current students, alumni and faculty all want us to spread the word about ESPN’s College GameDay coming to Waco.
For thousands of people around America, Monday was a day full of pink and red balloons and bears, with flowers and vases and chocolate-covered sweet things. Laughter, hugging and excitement hovered around the millions of people experiencing “love”’ But the sweetest sound for many wasn’t a serenade or love song – it was the day Spring Training began.
We’re breaking Kim Mulkey’s golden rule. We’re looking ahead.
“It gives us a winner and a loser in each contest. It gives us magnificent athletes that we marvel over and wish to be like. It gives us championships, accolades and trophies. It gives us loud, obnoxious body-painted fans at games. A sport gives us all these basic things, but in reality gives us so much more.”
