As a fifth-year senior, Baylor receiver Lanear Sampson has witnessed the transformation of Baylor football first-hand. From the 2008 season when the Bears went 4-8 in head coach Art Briles’ first season to winning 10 games and being Alamo Bowl champs, Sampson has helped usher in a new era of Baylor football.

Baylor football left the Alamadome field victorious on Dec. 30, 2011. The team returned the field Tuesday for the first time since to begin spring practice.

Lightning stopped the game but not the Bears, as they defeated Stephen F. Austin 48-0 after three quarters.

Baylor never made it easy on their fans, but in the end they got it done, knocking off the 14th-ranked team in the nation on national television Friday night.

Following a season filled with injuries and disappointment, Art Briles and the Bears returned for the 2010 season and hoisted Baylor football to a place it had not been in over a decade.

Football’s path to consecutive postseason appearances started Monday as the Bears returned to the Highers Athletics Complex for the first of 15 spring workouts. As normal, energy and emotions ran high among players itching to get back on the field.
