 At its inception the Baylor Line was a group of freshmen men who lined the front of Baylor's student section for the express purpose of protecting Baylor women from the other teams more violent fans.The jersey colors of the Line were originally rotated between green in odd numbered years and gold in even numbered years through 1998 (class of 2002).This changed to green every year until around 2001, when in the interest of having a more substantial looking student section the decision was made to use gold every year.
