History

Baylor Football Team Circa 1921

Baylor University's football team has seen a wide variation in its success through the years, from an undefeated perfect 3-0 record in 1900 to a winless record in 1969.

Initially, the university played its home games on an undetermined field near the university. Beginning in 1905, the team's home games were played at Carroll Field, between the Carroll Science Building and Waco Creek. Baylor did not adopt a mascot (the Baylor Bears) until December 14, 1914, after the completion of the 1914 football season.[2] Additionally, Baylor did not join an athletic conference until 1914 after the conclusion of football season, when it became a founding member of the Southwest Conference. Baylor played its first home game against Toby's Business College (located in Waco) in 1899, its first away game on 4 November 1900, at Austin College, and its first neutral-site game against Texas A&M in 1901.

For the 1899 and 1900 seasons, the team was coached by R.H. Hamilton, whose 5–1–1 record was distinguished with never having a losing record; in 1899, Baylor played its first game against Texas A&M, which would become a rivalry (until 2012 when Texas A&M changed conferences), the Battle of the Brazos, with over 100 games played in the series by 2003. W.J. Ritchie coached the 1901 team, leading it to a 5–3 record; in this year, the first games of the Baylor-Texas and Baylor-TCU series were played. Texas Christian University (known as AddRan Male & Female College until 1902) was located in Waco from 1895 to 1910 and was one of Baylor's greatest football rivals until the dissolution of the Southwest Conference in 1995. The 1901 season also welcomed Baylor's first Thanksgiving Day football game, with a 28–0 win over St. Edward's University. J.C. Ewing took control of the team in 1902, and led it to its first losing season, with a 3–4–2 record. R.N. Watts restored Baylor's winning tradition in 1903, with a record of 4–3–1.

Carroll Field

No team was fielded in 1906 following a ban opposing the violence of football; along with 1943 and 1944 (during World War II), 1906 is one of three seasons since 1899 that Baylor has not competed in varsity football. Luther Burleson headed the restored football team in 1907, and managed a 4–3–1 record. E.J. Mills led the team for the 1908 and 1909 seasons; their 3–5–0 and 5–3–0 records were notable for the 1908 loss to LSU, and for the world's first "Homecoming" at the 1909 Thanksgiving Day game, which included a concert, parade, and bonfire. To this day, Baylor claims the honor of having the largest homecoming parade in the world.

Baylor has many traditions such as the Battle of the Brazos rivalry (until 2012 when Texas A&M changed conferences), neutral site games at The State Fair of Texas, membership in the historic Southwest Conference, a live bear mascot since 1915 and the Baylor Line. Baylor won the SWC Championship in 1922 and then again in 1924. In 1956 Baylor came close to the SWC title again but came in second and the team was sent to face the #2 Tennessee Volunteers in the 1957 Sugar Bowl. Baylor defeated Johnny Majors and the #2 Volunteers 13-7. This remains the highest ranked opponent Baylor has ever defeated. The 1924 SWC Championship would be the last for many years until Baylor won it all again in 1974 under the leadership of third year head coach Grant Teaff.

Miracle on the Brazos

The 1974 SWC Championship season was one of the most memorable in school history. Baylor had finished in last place in 1973 and had not won the conference in fifty years. Furthermore, coming into the '74 season Baylor had lost 16 consecutive seasons to the University of Texas Longhorns. Baylor not only won the conference title but defeated the Longhorns, which marked the first time in seven seasons that Texas did not win the Southwest Conference title. The entire '74 Baylor football season was dubbed the "Miracle on the Brazos" by many sports writers at the time, the name and season have thus become part of Baylor's athletic history.

Grant Teaff Era

One of the most successful coaches in Baylor football history was Grant Teaff. He lead the Bears to a 1974 Conference Title in his third year in the program. And nearly brought home a National Championship during the record setting 1980 football season that saw the Bears take on the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Cotton Bowl. Teaff recruited famous players such as Mike Singletary along with many others. Teaff was also named national coach of the year for the 1974 football season. Teaff would go on to serve until 1992 leading Baylor to 8 bowl games and two conference championships (1974, 1980) in his 21 years as coach.


The Big 12 Era

In 1996 Baylor joined the University of Texas, Texas Tech, and Texas A&M Universities along with the Big 8 Universities, to form the Big 12 Conference.

Recent history

2009 season

Main article: 2009 Baylor Bears football team

The 2009 season was highlighted by a non-conference road win against Wake Forest, and another against two-time defending Big 12 North champions Missouri 40-32, two games that were televised on ABC television. The season fell short of Bears' fans expectations however when starting QB Robert Griffin III was injured in the 3rd game of the year and Baylor finished the season with a 1-7 Big 12 Conference record and a 4-8 overall record.

2010 season

Main article: 2010 Baylor Bears football team

The 2010 season was a breakthrough for the Baylor Bears even though they suffered an early season loss to rival TCU 45-10; they earned an invitation to the Texas Bowl in Houston after finishing the regular season with a 7-5 record. Baylor subsequently lost the Texas Bowl 38-14 to Illinois. In the regular season the Bears victories included Big12 conference wins over Kansas 55-7 and Kansas St 47-42, as well as road wins over Colorado and Texas.

2011 season

Main article: 2011 Baylor Bears football team

Building on the success of the previous year's team, Baylor began the season at home with a 50-48 upset of then #14 TCU, winners of the previous season's Rose Bowl. The Bears won their next two games against Stephen F. Austin and Rice at home, before traveling to Kansas State where they lost a tightly contested game 35-36 to the greatly improved Bill Snyder-coached team. After defeating Iowa State 49-26 at home, the Bears finished October losing two straight on the road at Texas A&M and eventual conference champion Oklahoma State.

The Bears rebounded to finish the regular season with five straight victories including a Homecoming win over Missouri, a 31-30 overtime victory at Kansas in which Baylor tied a school record by overcoming a 21-point deficit in the 4th quarter, and the program's first win over then #5 Oklahoma on a 34-yard touchdown pass from Griffin to Terrance Williams with 8 seconds remaining in the game. Baylor concluded November in Dallas playing against Texas Tech in Cowboys Stadium; although Griffin left the game due to a concussion at the half, backup Nick Florence entered the game to lead the Bears to a 66-42 victory.

The Bears finished the regular season at home with a 48-24 victory over then #22 Texas that propelled the team (9-3, 6-3 Big XII) to the Alamo Bowl with #12 and #15 BCS and AP rankings respectively, and propelled Griffin to the top of the Heisman Trophy voting; he became the first Baylor player to win the award and the first Baylor player since Don Trull in 1963 to factor significantly in the voting.

In the Alamo Bowl, the Bears faced the Washington Huskies in what became the second-highest scoring bowl game in history, and the highest-scoring regulation bowl game ever. Baylor went up 21-7 early in the game, with Griffin throwing for one touchdown and rushing for another. The Huskies roared back with 28 unanswered points, and the teams finished the half with Washington leading 35-24. In the second half, with the defenses showing limited ability to cope with the high-powered offenses led by Griffin and Husky QB Keith Price, the teams traded scores. The Bears overcame the halftime deficit, going ahead for good 60-56 halfway in the 4th quarter, and Baylor RB Terrance Ganaway tacked on a final 43-yard touchdown run. Ganaway finished with 21 carries for 200 yards and 5 TDs, and was recognized as the game's offensive MVP. The victory represented Baylor's first bowl win since a victory in the John Hancock (Sun) Bowl in 1992.

Stadium

Main article: Floyd Casey Stadium
Floyd Casey Stadium in 2005

The Baylor Bears have played their home games at Floyd Casey Stadium, then known as Baylor Stadium, since the facility opened in 1950. Floyd Casey Stadium has a seating capacity of 50,000 and has undergone multiple renovations, most recently in 2005. The Bears, along with the UTSA Roadrunners, are only Division I football teams in Texas to play their games at an off-campus stadium.[5] Prior to the Bears' time at Floyd Casey Stadium, the Bears played at Municipal Stadium (1936–1949), Cotton Palace (1926–1929), and Carroll Field (1906–1925 and 1930–1935). As of the 2011 season, Carroll Field has been the only on-campus home field for the Bears. Baylor University has announced plans for a new on-campus stadium on the north bank of the Brazos River, scheduled to open for the 2014 football season.[5]

Simpson Athletics and Academic Center

The Simpson Center was built in 2009 and provides a 97,000 foot facility to house football operations. The building also houses the 13,500 foot football weight room. The building is built in a classic collegiate style matching the red brick southern architectural style of the Baylor University campus and is over three stories tall. It houses the main athletic training room, football team locker room, equipment room, coach's locker room, and a large primary weight room. The Simpson Center also houses academic support rooms for studying and academic work. Equipment for sports and athletic rehabilitation include the new state of the art underwater treadmills built into the Simpson Center.

Jay and Jenny Allison Indoor Football Practice Facility

The indoor full football field is a synthetic field and a full A/C building that allows Baylor athletics to practice in all weather conditions year round. The Indoor field was a gift from longtime Baylor letterwinner and successful businessman Jay Allison along with his wife Jenny. The new state of the art indoor field was designed to be apart of the Highers Athletic Complex and backs up to the Brazos river. The building was built in 2010 for an estimated cost of 15.4 million dollars.

Current Rivalries

Conference Rivals:

TCU

Main article: Baylor–TCU football rivalry

Baylor's rivalry with TCU is one of the most played in all of college football. Dating back to 1899, the series record is tied 50-50-7. The series began while TCU was located in Waco, Texas as a cross-town rivalry with Baylor. Due to their close proximity 23 games were played between 1899 and 1910. A fire in 1910 destroyed the Main Building on the TCU campus and financial incentives from the city of Fort Worth convinced the Board of Trustees to relocate the university to that city. There was a ten year break in the series when the dissolution of the Southwest Conference in 1995 resulted in the two universities joining separate athletic conferences. The series resumed in Waco for Baylor's 2006 home opener. The two schools concluded a home-and-home series in 2007, and have continued their rivalry in Fort Worth in 2010 and Waco in 2011. TCU fans have long held a deep resentment for Baylor getting into the Big 12 Conference ahead of TCU in 1996. This resentment is due to the wide spread but false rumor that influence from then-Texas governor Ann Richards was the reason. One famous incident in the rivalry was in 1971 when TCU coach Jim Pittman collapsed and died during the actual football game making it the only time in collegiate history that a coach ever died while a game was in progress. Both schools will return to being conference mates and yearly football games when TCU joins the Big XII in July 2012.

Arkansas

The University of Arkansas Razorbacks football team was once one of Baylor's oldest rivals as the series dates from 1904. The two teams were both football powers in the old Southwest Conference. The programs competed heavily for East Texas recruits during the SWC era and played many close and contested football games while playing for nearly 90 years as conference foes.

Main article: Battle of the Brazos

Texas A&M is one of Baylor's oldest rivals as the series dates from 1899 and the two schools are only located 90 miles apart on the Brazos River. Texas A&M holds a 68-31-9 lead in the Battle of the Brazos. The competitive peak of the series was from 1960-1990 when Baylor won 13 games, A&M won 16 games and 2 games ended in ties. During that time 18 of the games were decided by 7 points or less. 2011's meeting is likely the end of the series with A&M leaving for the Southeastern Conference.

Traditions

THE BAYLOR LINE:

A group physically composed of all Baylor freshman, but of which all Baylor alumni are a part of in spirit. The Line attends all home football games and is a massive spirit organization that cheers on the Bears. The Line as it is called, always sits together in a large group wearing matching gold jerseys. The Line is also given the honor of running on to the field prior to kickoff in one large group. The members then jog the perimeter of the field and form a line for the team to enter before kickoff. This forms a massive gathering of students and is one of the largest student groups in the nation. The Line sits close to the field behind the cheerleaders to harass the opposing team and has been a Baylor tradition for over 50 years.

LIVE BEARS:

Baylor keeps two large American Black Bears on campus as mascots for the University. They were brought to the stadium by the Baylor Chamber spirit group on game days. They attended pre-game events and would stay to be the living symbol of the University at the games. However, since 2010 the bears were no longer allowed at football games or other campus events on leashes. The USDA informed Baylor officials that they would no longer be permitted to bring the bears to games per Federal Code of Regulations 2.131(c)(1)which states "During public exhibition, any animal must be handled so there is minimal risk of harm to the animal and to the public, with sufficient distance and/or barriers between the animal and the general viewing public so as to assure the safety of the animals and the public."

SINGING THE ALMA MATER:

At the end of every game all those Baylor men and women in attendace will stay and gather together to sing the University alma mater, That Good Old Baylor Line.
