Waco, Texas - Mike Singletary, Walter Abercrombie, Alfred Anderson, Vann McElroy and Jay Jeffrey reunite with many of their former teammates this weekend as Baylor celebrates the 20th anniversary of its 1980 Southwest Conference championship football team during Homecoming festivities.

Members of Baylor's 1980 squad, which posted a perfect league record of 8-0 en route to a 10-2 finish and a Cotton Bowl berth, join 1980 Southwest Conference Coach of the Year Grant Teaff for a halftime ceremony during Saturday's Homecoming game against Missouri.

The 1980 Bears featured a pair of All-Americans - linebacker Singletary and offensive lineman Frank Ditta - along with 12 all-conference performers. In addition to setting numerous team records, Baylor also climbed as high as No. 6 in the national polls, the Bears' second-highest ranking ever.

Kickoff time for Baylor-Missouri at Floyd Casey Stadium is 1 p.m.
