But with "sailgating" Sailor Bear takes on a new meaning.
No Bridgets won way more games. Beall was horrible. I know a tight end on that team. He had what 3 wins.GruntTuff said:
Knew Joey Taylor when I was a student. Rest his soul.
Also knew and had Latin under Elmer Fisher.
Damn...been a long time ago. 5 wins in 4 years under Bridgers and Beall.
But we had lots of fun.
Anyone remember The Catacombs at 10th & Speight.
Cannabis before it was legal. And Carling Black Label for 99cents a six pack at The Milky Way.
Made losses not seem to matter.

I done wrassled over the idear of whether to place insane before renegade, or the latter. I mean does the man become insane and then renegadeness follows? or does the wanton scurrilous act of renegading loosen one's moral guy-wires allowing the wanton mind-heathen "insanity" to logically follow slipping in like a cockroach on a nighttime crumb raid thru a crack in the kitchen drywall........adalah said:

Didn't we play Texas for the SWC Title in 63 and lost? I mean didn't it amount to the game played for the title not an actual set aside championship game.

Because it was homecoming and the Athletic Dept/school believed it would be a fun way to celebrate. retor logo for older fans returning. then they decided to wear it again for the last home game with the black helmets as a last hoorah essentially.KATRIYATSI said:Why was he on our helmets?

"The first Bear directly above is popularly known as Sailor Bear a popular retro logo today, though limited in its modern use. Here's why: In the 1950s when college football was truly regional, and few fans saw logos for teams outside their region a former Disney employee named Arthur Evans visited colleges across the country, offering to draw logos for them. One of them was Sailor Bear which he created not just for Baylor, but for almost any school that had a Bear mascot. (He did the same with other animals; for instance, this tiger, used by LSU, Auburn, Missouri and others.) This 1952 pennant is the first known appearance of Baylor's version of this bear.". Thanks
I think I had that pennant on my wall as a kid in the 50s

Didn't freshmen at one time wear a kind of sailor hat? It seems I remember Mickey Rooney wearing or Juddhead from the Archie series.
This week at my grandson's baseball game one of the other parents had a Michigan cooler, with none other than Sailor Bear pretending to be a Wolverine on the side.T-REX said:Because it was homecoming and the Athletic Dept/school believed it would be a fun way to celebrate. retor logo for older fans returning. then they decided to wear it again for the last home game with the black helmets as a last hoorah essentially.KATRIYATSI said:Why was he on our helmets?
