SIC ’EM, BEARS!
In 1960, Baylor's yell leaders introduced the "Bear Claw" hand signal, made by slightly curving all five fingers inward to form a claw, and the "Sic 'em, Bears" yell. The use of both the hand signal and yell was sporadic until Grant Teaff arrived as Baylor's head football coach in 1972. Teaff initiated a new era of Baylor football, and the "Bear Claw" and "Sic 'em, Bears" yell came to symbolize pride in Baylor Athletics. At Football games, the "Bear Claw" is raised high for kickoffs and during the performance of Baylor's school song, "That Good Old Baylor Line," which is always followed with a loud and proud "
Sic 'em, Bears!"

The
Baylor Line, established in 1970, is composed of the incoming Baylor University freshman class. The Baylor Line gathers at the south end of McLane Stadium and, led by the cheers of alumni and fans, runs onto the field and creates an enormous human tunnel to welcome the football team to the field. After each player and coach has entered the stadium, The Baylor Line takes their seats in an exclusive Baylor Line section behind the opponent's bench to cheer on the Bears to victory.
