 Re: Baylor Bears
It's amazing how many innings them gals can throw. Oh, and Baylor equestrian's Hunter Seat team (whatever the heck that is) took home its first national championship over the week-end. Just too much good stuff coming Baylor's way.

 Re: Baylor Bears
Congratulations to Baylor head baseball coach Steve Smith who earned his 650th career win last night to become Baylor's all-time wins leader in any sport. (He passed his predecessor Mickey Sullivan who passed away just last month.) The Bears are now (31-7, 15-0 Big 12) #6 in the nation and have won 20 straight. The Bears have a non-conference game tonight, and then have a really big 3 game series this week-end against Texas A&M. This will be their last regular season conference games ever against the Aggies. (I'm still mourning the demise of the SWC)

 Re: Baylor Bears
Connie was really good, maybe even great. He was smooth. I enjoyed listening to him. BUT...IMO Kern Tips had the unique ability to make the game come alive. I loved all his little sayings, he had me hanging on to his every word. Maybe it's a matter of taste. A lot of old people agree with me. Maybe you're too young. lol. BTW, (32-7, 15-0 Big 12) won 21 straight.

 Re: Baylor Bears
From the Chronicle: COLLEGE STATION - Skeptics of Baylor's extraordinary winning streak had circled Friday as the contest it likely ran its course - at Texas A&M and against Aggies ace Michael Wacha. They're going to have to find another one to circle, because the sixth-ranked Bears found another way to win, this time 5-3 over No. 2 A&M before 5,621 fans in Blue Bell Park. Baylor (33-7, 16-0) has won a school record 22 consecutive games, the nation's longest active streak, while A&M (28-10, 9-4) dropped its third straight. From Bear Blog - Smith willing to continue playing Aggies after they leave Big 12. (Bet he didn't endure himself to Briles or Drew or Mulkey) http://www.wacotrib.com/blogs/staff/col ... eries.html

 Re: Baylor Bears
I'm going to make hay while the sun is still shining. The Bears shut out the Aggies tonight to extend their winning streak to 23 games. #6 Baylor 1 (34-7, 17-0) #2 Texas A&M 0 (28-11, 9-5)

 Re: Baylor Bears
Evidentally, the Baylor baseball team has adopted a hungry beaver and won 23 in a row ... Kinda the Baylor answer to a rally squirrel ... http://www.foxsportssouthwest.com/04/21 ... eedID=3585

 Re: Baylor Bears
I hear the beaver is getting a little finiky ... only wants those real high quality hardwoods, steak and anyone who'se got a number of a cute lady beaver ... hopefully, the beaver will stay away from motorcycles, former volleyball players, and text messages.

 Re: Baylor Bears
Exactly! And here's hoping the NCAA doesn't start an investigation into the impermissible use of another school's mascot. (Oregon State).

 Re: Baylor Bears
Baylor now #3 A&M now #9 Lovin' it! One poll has them #1. WACO, Texas – Baylor baseball is ranked No. 1 nationally for the first time in program history. The Bears shared the top spot with Kentucky in the latest Collegiate Baseball Newspaper poll released Monday afternoon. Baseball America ranked the Bears No. 3 in their poll released on Monday, while Perfect Game also had the Bears in the third spot and BU came in at No. 4 in the USA TODAY/ESPN coaches’ poll. Baylor’s No. 3 ranking from Baseball America ties its highest in the history of that poll, which began in 1981. The Bears were also No. 3 in that poll on May 8, 2000.
The only question. Will old Baylor fans, having experienced so much suffering with only limited success thru the years, be able to handle it? Umm, yea they will.

 Re: Baylor Bears
All good things must come to an end. Baylor put the Beaver on a diet tonight. Lost to UTSA 1-4.
