Baylor Mascots
Bruiser

The Bear Tradition began when Baylor chose the Bear instead of the ever popular bookworm to represent the school as its official mascot in 1914. The start of Baylor's 1981-1982 basketball season brought our first bear costume that we have come to know and love today as Bruiser the Bear. Bruiser has brought school spirit to an all time high, pleasing Baylor fans young and old.

Favorite Food: Whenever salmon isn't swimming upstream, I enjoy sinking my teeth into a delicious Buffalo Burger. No matter what I'm eating I always wash it down with an ice cold Dr. Pepper!

Favorite celebrity: My neighbor and good friend, George W. Bush, because he flies a big plane over my forest on his way to his ranch, which is just 25 miles from my cave. Team Members
