The comeback.

This is an episode of the Follow you DO NOT want to miss.

Coming this evening on Baylor+, episode 4️⃣ of the Follow takes us on the road with the Bears and behind the scenes of a comeback for the ages.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Golden Girls. It’s that time again! Let’s bring the GOLD to Ferrell!

The wait is finally over. After two weeks of being on the road, the BU volleyball squad is BACK at home to open up Big 12 play on a what will be a special night.

What can Bears fans expect at Ferrell TONIGHT?

  • Coach McGuyre will be honored for becoming the program’s all-time winningest coach earlier this season

  • GOLD OUT - Gold Shirt Giveaway!

  • Mental Health Awareness Game

On the court, the Bears will be hosting Kansas State in the Big 12 home opener. BU has toppled the Wildcats in the past 10 meetings between the two programs. KSU is 8-5 overall this fall and 2-2 in conference play.

We promise, you don’t want to miss this! See you tonight!

🔺 Weather Report: Cyclones Incoming. Welcome back, old foe.

The Baylor futbol team returns to Betty Lou tonight at 7 pm to host a longtime rival when Iowa State comes to Waco.

This is the 31st meeting between the two programs, the second-most head-to-head matchups in BU history (next to Texas).

In those previous 30 meetings, the Bears hold a 20-8-2 head-to-head mark, including winning six of the past seven meetings dating back to 2017. The 20 head-to-head wins is the most over any opponent in program history.

BU will look to continue their hot streak after posting back-to-back shutouts last week when they went 1-0-1 in their trips to Kansas and Kansas State.

🔺 Diamond Girls. Back at home.

The BU softball team returned to the Diamond last month as they work towards a big 2024 spring season.

With five fall games under their belts last weekend, the Bears return to the field on Friday night when they head across town to face McLennan Community College at 6 p.m.
 
Baylor will then begin its annual Green & Gold World Series on Monday-Wednesday, Oct. 9-11.

On the final day of the Green & Gold World Series, BU will host the second-ever Dinner at the Diamond, Oct. 11th. 

The Bears will close out their spring slate with a doubleheader against Sam Houston and North Texas in Huntsville, Texas and Spring, Texas on Oct. 14.
 
All fall contests are free and open to the public. All games and times are subject to change.

🏈 GOING GOLD FOR BEING BACK HOME

No time like the present to show up and show out!
