I think you meant to write Cynthia Izaguirre (not Gloria Campos). Gloria Campos is a Texas State alumna.

TXST may win some (overall) votes for: - Their 9/1/12 (30-13) routing over the University of Houston. Voting boards are fickle. - Their 9/28/13 (42-21) routing over the University of Wyoming (albeit non-conference but still a "w" in the win column). The game didn't finish until 1:00 AM Sunday (weather delay in San Marcos) so by this time reporters had already closed out their stories (received little/no media coverage). http://www.txstatebobcats.com/schedule.aspx?path=football

no, we're talking about North Texas State

TXST correct acronym for Texas State. For reference: Texas State University The name of the university since September 2003. Use Texas State University on first reference and either Texas State University or Texas State on subsequent references (one or the other used consistently within your document). Never use TSU or TxSt. (http://www.umktg.txstate.edu/resources/guides/editorial-styleguide/ed-guide-t.html) TSU can be confused with Texas Southern, Tarleton State, etc.

You're right - I stand corrected. Texas State has recently been labeled an "emerging research" university. My bad. Thank you.

___________________________________________________________________________ Texas State has reached Tier One Status: http://star.txstate.edu/node/5720 And, having personally attended both North Texas State University and Southwest Texas State, both were equally academically challenging.

Yes, the ring should probably read "TSU-SM".

Funny...I don't even know you yet I can see you as a 4-year old wearing knee high britches saying "nanner nanner boo boo". Grow up.

No sir....I'm not implying anything please do not read anything more into than what is written. I have a great deal of respect for Texas A&M.

Texas State University-San Marcos now has the 3rd highest admission standards of any public institution in the state (excluding private universities). Unfortunately, it's still behind UT and A&M (for now). This information was personally given to me by Dr. Denise Trauth, president of Texas State.

UNTLifer, In 2003, Southwest Texas State University HAD it's name formally changed to Texas State University-San Marcos (they didn't even ask the alumni...but that's a whole different matter altogether). Boko

Thought I'd pass a link to a photo of our beloved Mr. Barrick Nealy: http://www.geocities.com/itsadele/adelephoto.html Trying to find a photo of Fred Evans (he was drafted by Miami). Boko Dweller

Misinterpretation on my part, my sincerest apologies.

For 2006, Texas State signess include: - Texas Tech wide receiver Jake Brown - Arkansas wide receiver Rick Culbert - Utah State wide receiver Cameron Luke - Purdue quarterback David Ramirez - Arizona State defensive linemen Mark Washington Sorry to interrupt you...you were saying?

Truer words were never spoken...

Sorry to disappoint you Aquila Viridis....there was some "fractionalism in regional recruiting" this go around but not too much. Case in point, for 2006, some of our marquis recruits include the following: - Texas Tech wide receiver Jake Brown - Arkansas wide receiver Rick Culbert - Utah State wide receiver Cameron Luke - Purdue quarterback David Ramirez - Arizona State defensive linemen Mark Washington BokoDweller

Greetings, Gomeangreen posters. This is my first post on your board, they're won't be many from me as I feel I am invited guest. After all, I don't like it when non-Bobcat fans come to www.bobcatfans.com and flood the message board with skewed opinions. However; that being said, the Bobcats did have a fantastic year. And, as a Texas State alumnus I sincerely believe it's only going to get better. Texas State, like UNT, has many things to be proud of both from an academic perspective and an athletic perspective alike. As I reside in North Texas (and even attended UNT...back then it was North Texas State University..for a couple of semesters) I found myself drawn to your board just to catch up. I've perused many posts on your website, from all different topics (ranging from our name change to athletics and I would like to taket this opportunity to chime in. First: Bflan, you're right...Barrick Nealy wasn't "good enough" for Division I-A. However; he is going to be good enough for the NFL. See http://txstatebobcats.collegesports.com/sp...blog-index.html In addition, we have seven newcomers who are transferring from Division I-A programs for our 2006 program. This speaks well for our program and the ability for us to recruit excellent student athletes. See http://txstatebobcats.collegesports.com/sp...ootbl-body.html Our head coach, David Bailiff, is a Texas State graduate and was a player himself when we won two Division II titles. He's an avid Bobcat, and unless someone has deep pockets he'll be around for a while. Second: Many posters have commented on the cost of our school's name change. Believe it or not, 90% of the cost was defrayed by a single donation from an alumnus who sadly enough is no longer alive. Third: I was originally opposed to the name change, but now I like it. Fourth: The final catalyst for the name change was instigated by the outgoing student president. He simply got in his car one day, drove to Austin and said "I want to change the school's name". There's more to it than this, obviously, but it was as simple as that. In closing, IMHO, I don't think Texas State is ready for Division IA football....yet. I suspect that in 4-5 years (conservatively) we'll be there. Would like to hear your feedback. Respectfully submitted, Boko Dweller
