The 2004-05 school year is proving to be one of the most exciting yearson record, with so many wonderful things happening both on and off campus.Most notable have been the dedication of the Mayborn Campus Center andthe national attention we gained through the success of our football team.
The Crusader football team ended its winning season in a dramatic gamefor the national championship title at the NCAA Division III Amos AlonzoStagg Bowl in Salem, Virginia. Although we did not gain the win againstLinfield College in those final seconds of heart-stopping play, it was anincredible journey which brought national attention to this university and asense of pride to everyone associated with it. It is with sincere, heartfeltappreciation that we congratulate our team and the coaches who brought
this honor to UMHB.On February 4, 2005, we held a great day of celebration on campus as we dedicated the
Frank and Sue Mayborn Campus Center. Never before in our history has a building of thismagnitude been built. Since the groundbreaking in June 2003, we had waited with anticipationfor this day of ribbon-cutting and recognition of the special donors who helped us fulfill thisdream. The Mayborn Campus Center is certain to become the “hub” of activities on campus,and for this reason, many have wanted to be involved in the project. We sincerely thank theFrank W. and Sue Mayborn Foundation, along with the many other foundations and individualdonors, for making this great vision a reality.
On Charter Day, we celebrated our 160-year anniversary. The Lord has been gracious tous over these many years. We thank Fran Garmon ’61 for speaking to the students andsharing her personal insights on how this great institution prepared her for the successfulcareer she has enjoyed. The future has never looked brighter for UMHB than it does today.
We are also preparing to build a new 144-bed housing complex beside the Tryon ApartmentComplex. A central commons building, which is part of the project, will serve as a gatheringplace for all apartment residents on the northwest side of campus and will provide mail boxesfor all, as well.
Please make an effort in the near future to visit your alma mater and celebrate with us inthe successes and joys the Lord has granted.

The ceremony began with theunveiling of the Crusader statue, whichwas given in part by the Classes of2004 and 2005. Justin Gaidusek ’04,Erin Parker Dugan’04, Andrea Mooney’05 and Dr. Carole Smith ’65, a formerMHB basketball coach, all assisted withthe unveiling.
President Bawcom told the historyof the Crusader and how that prior to1968, the athletic teams had playedunder various names, or in some cases,without a name. Then in 1968-1969,when Dr. Smith was a coach, thewomen’s athletic teams organizedacross Texas for intercol legiatecompetition, and Mary Hardin-BaylorCollege needed an official mascot. Theyselected the “Crusader,” which wasadopted by the Board of Trustees inMay 1975.
“Today, all UMHB Crusaders, bothmen and women, continue to representthe Christian purpose and heritage ofthe university as they exhibit spirit,pride and the pursuit of excellence intheir various arenas of competition,”said Bawcom.

Hundreds of fans followed theCrusaders to the 2004 AmosAlonzo Stagg Bowl in Salem,
Virginia, for the NCAA Division IIIChampionship game against theLinf ie ld Col lege Wildcats andhundreds more watched or listened tothe game back home.
This was the game and the seasonthat brought national attention toUMHB. From l ive coverage onESPN2, to reviews in newspapers
across the nation, the Crusaderfootball team made Mary Hardin-Baylor, and all who are associated withher, proud.
“We are looking at the two topoffenses in the country,” came theannouncement on ESPN2. “And youwill be hearing a lot of informationabout this college in Belton, Texas,who has only had a football programfor seven years compared to theLinfield’s 102 years of football.”
“UMHBelieve It” became one of themany slogans during the playoffs asthe Crusader football team, in only itsseventh season of existence, marchedforward carving a path to the StaggBowl under the leadership of Head
Football Coach Pete Fredenburg. Hedubbed the team “Road Dogs” sinceto make it to the title game they hadto batt le each of their playoffopponents on the road.
After a 9-1 record during regularseason, the Crusaders clinched awildcard spot in the playoffs, and theirfirst-round challenge was TrinityUniversity. The San Antonio ExpressNews recapped the 32-13 victory overTrinity — “The Crusaders (10-1)utilized a stifling defense and a potentrunning game to remove the Tigersfrom the playoffs.”
In the second round, the Crusaderstook on Hardin-Simmons with aresounding 42-28 win over the

Cowboys, avenging their loss to HSUearlier in the season. The Crusadersthen moved on into the quarter-finalsagainst Washington & Jefferson inWashington, Pennsylvania. “The gameplan for Washington & Jefferson’sfootball team was to keep MaryHardin-Baylor’s offense off the field.And the President’s managed to dothat through the first 10 minutes ofSaturday’s game . . . and still trailed17-0,” reported the Killeen DailyHerald. Final score — 52-16.
The NCAA semi-final game againstMount Union in Alliance, Ohio, wouldprove to be one of the Crusaders’greatest challenges; the Purple Raiderswere seven-time national champions.But in the final seconds, and in whatthe Houston Chronicle caption called“A Sharp Move,” quarterback JoshWelch found Walter Sharp in the endzone, and Sharp held on to the winningtouchdown, putting the Crusaders ontop 38-35.
“Looking at the AFCA coaches’ finalDivision III poll, the top 10 reads like alist of Mary Hardin-Baylor’s playoffroad kill,” cited the Waco Tribune.
In a feature story in the DallasMorning News, the headline read “Out
of nowhere — 7-year-old programtoppling powers, making its mark.” Asreported in USA Today, “Make nomistake — win or lose, what theCrusaders have already accomplishedwon’t soon be forgotten around theBelton, Texas, campus.”

Offensive guard Bryan Ramirez anddefensive end Keith Zunker both earned spotson the All-American Third Team. Ramirez, ajunior from San Antonio’s Marshall HighSchool, also helped anchor the offensive line
for the Crusaders this season. Zunker, a seniorfrom San Antonio’s East Central High School,set a new UMHB single-season record withseven sacks and he led the team with 18.5tackles for losses.
The Crusaders finished the season with a13-2 record and fell to Linfield in the StaggBowl 28-21 on December 18. UMHB had neverwon a postseason game prior to advancing to
the Divis ion I I IN a t i o n a lC h a m p i o n s h i pgame. UMHB is alsoranked 2nd in thenation in the finalD3football.com Top25 Poll.
When it was all said and done, theCrusaders fell to Linfield, 28-21, butthe sports editor of Temple DailyTelegram, Gregg Wille, best summedit up – “Title or not, Crusaders buildon legacy.”

Loyalty Fund Loyalty Fund Loyalty Fund Loyalty Fund Loyalty Fund — for life.“So why do you give?”
My pursuit of a college education brought me to the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor as a “non-traditional” student. My wife Pat and I married at a young age andstarted careers with the idea that “someday” I would complete my education. Yearslater, I came to UMHB after completing my first two years at a local junior college.UMHB offered me the opportunity to complete my degree close to home whilecontinuing my career. While I chose UMHB for its reputation as a long-establishedand well-respected Christian university, I found so much more than I expected. Mydegree from UMHB and a subsequent graduate school degree equipped me witheverything I needed to seize the opportunities that would become available to me forcareer progression.
If I have one regret about my time at UMHB, it would be that I didn’t get startedsooner. The distraction of building a new family and a career coupled with thefinancial commitment of college delayed my journey. I ultimately achieved myeducation goal. Now Pat and I desire to see those that want to pursue highereducation be able to do so at an earlier age. For that to happen, we recognize thatthey must have available to them the necessary financial resources. Pat and I give toUMHB to help ensure that aspiring young people, who want to make thecommitment to an excellent Christian college education, don’t miss out on their dream simply because they can’t afford it.We know that the seeds we sow today, although small, will enable others to achieve a great education, leading them to alifetime of harvest. That’s why we give!
