SAN DIEGO – The Baylor Bears got off to a hot start against the UCLA Bruins and currently lead 14-0.
Nearly 300 Baylor University students will board six “Baylor-wrapped” buses Wednesday morning in Waco for the 1,300-mile trip to San Diego, all to support the Baylor football team in its Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl game versus the UCLA Bruins.
Brittney Griner scored the first six points of the game and third-ranked Baylor had the first 17, extending its home winning streak to 45 in a row with a 76-53 victory over 10th-ranked Tennessee on Tuesday night.
San Diego is famous for a lot of things. Sunshine, beautiful landscapes, Ron Burgundy and the Bridgeport Education Holiday Bowl are just naming a few of the great things that this city has to offer.
With 5:11 remaining in the final game at Floyd Casey Stadium and a seven-point Baylor lead, sophomore Lache Seastrunk broke through the line of scrimmage at the Baylor 24-yard line and saw the light of the Promised Land.
Halfway to the end zone, Seastrunk caught a cramp in his left hamstring. At this point, he had two options: he could fall down in pain or believe that he could finish and take the rock to the house.
The spread offense is commonly associated with accurate quarterbacks and athletic wide receivers, but this year’s Baylor football team is showing that great running backs can thrive in a five-wide set.
When he was coming out of Midway High School in nearby Hewitt, Baylor junior nickel back Ahmad Dixon could have chosen to go to pretty much any school in the nation. He was ranked as the No. 15 national recruit by ESPNU 150 and had scholarship offers from Alabama, Texas, USC and pretty much everywhere else in between. Instead of bolting for a glamorous, prestigious program, Dixon decided to stay home and head to Baylor, who was just coming off of a 4-8 season.
Under first year head coach Jim Mora, UCLA Bruins football is back on the map.
The UCLA Bruins finished the regular season with a 9-4 record and posted a 6-3 record in Pacific-12 Conference games.

Women have been in baseball for most of the sport’s history. While they have faced obstacles for around the last 100 years, the Women’s Professional Baseball League is reminding people that women always belonged.
Waco’s former premier sporting venue hosted professional baseball teams, historic integration games and even the town’s first presidential visit. Its legacy, though tainted, tells the story of the town it called home.
