UMHB COUCH CRU

The Couch Cru at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor is the heart and soul of the athletics department. Starting in 1996 two students took their couch to a soccer game and sat in it and cheered for the soccer team. Thus the "Couch" Cru was born. Now a days the Couch Cru can be found cheering for every sports team UMHB has. Many a time the Couch Cru has been known to be a little over the top and make many of the opposing players and fans mad.
