Alice Curtis, 96, has experienced a lifetime of Baylor Homecomings. She was there in 1949 for the last season in the wooden grandstands of the Waco Municipal Stadium. She was there in 1974, when Grant Teaff led the turnaround that became the Miracle on the Brazos. She was there in 2010, the season in which Robert Griffin III took home Baylor’s first and only Heisman Trophy.
