Baylor Bears Tickets Information
Baylor Bears
Baylor Bears is the name for sports teams of Baylor University. Baylor's men's sports teams are nicknamed the Bears, and some women's teams are nicknamed the Lady Bears. Student athletes participate in the NCAA's Division I, and Baylor is the only private school in the Big 12 Conference. Prior to joining the Big 12, Baylor was a member of the Southwest Conference from the conference's charter in 1914 until its dissolution in 1996.
Baylor won its first team NCAA title in 2004 as the men's tennis team defeated UCLA in the championship game.
The mascot of Baylor University is a bear named Judge.
Baylor's baseball team is one of the most successful athletic programs at Baylor. Since the inception of the Big 12 Conference, Baylor has carried the best conference record at 137-83 (.623) under head coach Steve Smith.
The 2005 Bears played one of the toughest schedules in the nation and went all the way to Omaha where they finally lost to the University of Texas, whom they had beaten 3 times during conference play. The Bears' strength was their pitching, with a weekend rotation of Trey Taylor, Cory VanAllen and Mark McCormick with closers Abe Woody and Ryan LaMotta. While their offense was poor during the regular season, during the post season the offense produced. Many players from this team have gone on to play professional baseball.
The Baylor Lady Bears won the NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Championship in 2005. Coached by Kim Mulkey-Robertson, the Lady Bears defeated the Spartans of Michigan State University 84-62. Mulkey-Robertson became the first women's coach and only the third coach in history to win an NCAA basketball championship as both a player and a coach, joining Dean Smith and Bob Knight.
The men's basketball program was plagued by scandal in 2003. Patrick Dennehy, a player for the team, was murdered by a former player for the team, and then-coach Dave Bliss was forced to resign amidst allegations that he had made improper financial payments to players and planned to cover his actions by characterizing Dennehy as a drug dealer. The school placed itself on probation, limited itself to 7 scholarships for two years and imposed a post-season ban for one year. Additionally, the NCAA further punished the team by initiating a non-conference ban for the 2005-2006 season and extending the probationary period during which the school would have limited recruiting privileges.
The Baylor football team plays at Floyd Casey Stadium, located a few miles away from campus. The stadium was created in 1950 and currently seats more than 50,000 fans.
Since joining the Big 12 conference in 1996, Baylor has held a 13-43 record in regular season play, the worst record in the Big 12 south, with its best season coming in 2005. The current head coach, Guy Morriss, came to Baylor from Kentucky in 2003. In 2004, Baylor defeated its first ranked opponent since 1998, #16 ranked Texas A&M, by a score of 35-34 in overtime on a two-point conversion.[1] In 2005 the team opened 3-0 for the first time since 1996 and finished 5-6; Baylor also won its first Big 12 road game in school history at Iowa State. Also despite a disappointing 4-8 record in 2006, the Bears swept the Big 12 North portion of its conference schedule and won 3 conference games in a season for the first time since joining the Big 12 in 1996.
Baylor's most notable sports program is perhaps its track and field team, producing 466 All-Americans under the 42-year tenure of head coach Clyde Hart. The greatest standout of the track program has been its men's 4x400 relay team, which has sent teams to the NCAA finals in each of the past 27 years and produced three Olympic gold medalists: Michael Johnson, Jeremy Wariner and Darold Williamson. In 2005, Clyde Hart became Director of Track & Field, and Todd Harbour took over as head coach of Baylor's track and field and cross county squads.
Baylor Line rushes the fieldThe Baylor Line is one of the first aspects of Baylor spirit to which freshmen are introduced. The student group is unique to Baylor University. The Baylor Line is made entirely of freshmen and is the core of Baylor spirit and tradition. Students wear a football jersey with the number of their proposed graduation year and a nickname on the back.
The Baylor Line was organized in 1970 and was an all male organization until 1993. The Baylor women were previously called the Baylor Sidelines. At its inception, the Baylor Line was a group of men who lined the front of Baylor's student section -- for the express purpose of keeping Baylor women away from other teams' fans. Today, however, the Line is only limited to freshmen.
Colors of the Line were rotated among white, Baylor green and Baylor gold, but in the interest of having a more substantial-looking student section, the decision was made to use gold every year.
