🎥 BAYLOR+: FEATURE FILMS

Get your popcorn ready!

Coming TODAY at 10 am, Baylor+ will be giving you an exclusive, full-length feature look into the trip of a lifetime for Baylor women’s hoops.

The Bears spent 10 days overseas this summer in Italy and Greece, and it was an experience none of them will ever forget.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Drawing Even. A fifth shutout of the season and a point earned.

Playing on the road is never easy, especially in conference play, so every point matters.

On Thursday night in Lawrence, the BU futbol team did both of those things with a 0-0 draw against the Jayhawks. The Bears fired off 16 shots, but couldn’t break through, while Ashlee Zirkel made five saves to earn the shutout.

Next up? A trip to K-State for a Sunday afternoon showdown.

🔺 Sneak Peek. Less than 40 days away.

Facing a loaded 2023-24 slate, Baylor men’s hoops certainly isn’t backing down from any challenges this season and preparation for that schedule is officially underway.

🔺 Head Over To Hurd. While McLane may not be filled up this weekend, there’s still plenty of chances to check out the Green & Gold.

Take a breakfast meeting, head out for a long lunch, whatever you need to do and head on over to the Hurd Tennis Center to check out the Bears in action at the H-E-B Invitational all weekend long.

🔺 Working Behind The Scenes. Every single day, hundreds of decisions are made throughout the BU athletic department.

Juggling calendars, designating tasks, building relationships, so many of these things come across Jill Van Zee’s desk.

Van Zee has been a part of the Green & Gold athletic department for the past two years and many Bears fans may not know her backstory and how integral she is to the daily success of BU.

✈️ OFF TO ORLANDO

Fire up the buses, pull out the luggage, it’s time to hit the road.

It’s been a busy few weeks at McLane.

Now, it’s time for the Baylor football team to take their show on the road to face off against brand new Big 12 member, UCF, on Saturday at 2:30 pm on FS1 in Orlando.

It will be the first trip to the Sunshine State since 2015 for the Bears.

🎥 FILM ROOM WITH ELLIOT COFFEY

All-time great Baylor LB Elliot Coffey breaks down everything he saw in last weekend's matchup against the University of Texas.

Join him in the Baylor Film Room as he looks at some plays Baylor nailed, and some plays the team could look to improve on.
