Smokey V. Baylor's Bear

[BigOrange3]

Always heard the story about the 2 live mascots mixing it up at the sugar bowl... thought these pics were quite entertaining. Enjoy. At least it appears there's no "back down" in Smokey!

Does Baylor still have a live bear during game time? Those things are pretty dangerous.
Before 2005 I would have found it horrific that Baylor ever beat us in football but the past few seasons sure have humbled me quite a bit.

wow, nice find!

On the next series of plays, Bruce Burnham, Tennessee guard, was removed from the field on a stretcher and Hickman, who had kicked him in the face, was escorted from the field.

dayumm!

Baylor is a Baptist school founded in 1845. The fans were not exactly what could be described as “partiers” when they descended on New Orleans at New Years, 1957. According to a local hotel manager, “They came with the Ten Commandments & a $10 bill….. They didn’t break either one of them”

hahaha!!

 

[BigOrange3]

Damn... i'm baptist.
