⏱️ Countdown To Kickoff

⏱️ COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF: 6️⃣7️⃣ WEEKS

That’s right, we are just 6️⃣7️⃣ days away from kickoff of the 2025 season!

6️⃣7️⃣(1) is the total amount of yards that sophomore running back Dawson Pendergrass piled up during the 2024 season for the Bears.

Pendergrass teamed with freshman RB Bryson Washington to form one of only three power-4 schools in the regular-season with a 1,000 yard and 600-yard rusher.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Ring Him. The ring collection for former Bear Adam Flagler is getting quite expansive.

In 2021, Flagler led the Bears to an NCAA title.
In 2024, he led the GLeague OKC Blue squad to a championship.

And now, Flagler is an NBA Champion as a member of the OKC Thunder, who clinched the 2025 title with a game seven victory on Sunday night.

He is now just the third BU alum to win an NBA Championship, joining Michael Williams and Vinnie Johnson.

🔼 To The Max. Our guy is getting hot!

For the second time in 22 days, Baylor Athletics Hall of Famer Max Muncy drove in seven runs in a single game, bashing two HRs in the Dodgers’ win over the Nationals on Sunday.

It marks the first time since 1951 that any MLB player has 7 RBI-performances twice in a span of 25 days.
