Do Baylor Fans Know Their Bear Mascots?

Every college sports fan knows about Bevo, UGA, and Ralphie, but have you heard of Joy and Lady? Neither had we until we came down to Houston this week and started researching Baylor University’s traditions. The school keeps two live black bears on campus (Joy and Lady), which automatically gives them a pair of the most ferocious mascots in the country. TheBaker and I went to Reliant Stadium for YardBarker’s Journey to the Tourney project - sponsored by Champion - and grilled Baylor fans about the two bears. We also wondered whether former Baylor linebacker Mike Singletary would make a better mascot than a gigantic wild animal. Did Baylor fans pass our test? You be the Judge. Well, now that they’re out of the tournament, Baylor fans have plenty of time to get to know Joy and Lady.
