Nightmare and good riddance. Those are interesting ways to put it.

We will be on national TV for three games. The third is at Navy and will be on CBS sports network. http://texasstate.rivals.com/showmsg.asp?fid=2793&tid=155630490&mid=155630490&sid=1217&style=2 Texas State football to have three games televised in 2012 The Western Athletic Conference (WAC) announced today that a minimum of 13 football games will be televised on multiple ESPN platforms this fall that will include Texas Tech at Texas State on September 8th, 2012 and Nevada at Texas State on September 29th, 2012.

Let's be honest. Most of you are not so concerned about us moving up so much as having to play us every year. What's worse playing in a conference with recent move up. Or losing to recent move ups. Truth is UNT has done little to separate from TXST and UTSA has a huge advantage with San Antonio. Doesn't matter if UNT goes to CUSA if you guys just remain at doormat status. Even if you guys try to avoid us on your schedule if we are winning and you guys are losing, we will be the better program.

You obviously haven't been on the Texas State campus during the spring semester. Our ladies rank in the top Ten any day.

Yes our Lady Bobcats are that hot.

Think what you may about TXST but we are quickly rising as a program. We may not have the Wins to show it just yet. But our Fanbase is growing rapidly and our fans are loyal. It's not the same program of ten or twenty years ago. TXST has created an identity/ brand that is going to fit in well at the FBS level. Francione knows how how to build a program and I think his team will surprise everyone.

Most UTSA fans are ok. There are a few very annoying fans. Rowdy Runner is the first and worst of the bunch. Don't put much stock into his comments. He thinks UTSA is the next Alabama.

Here is something to ease your mind. MWC and CUSA officials also visited TXST on Friday.

Attendance vs TV $$$. You do the math. 30k seat stadium at say $35 average per seat. That's over a Million per game. Not including merchandise and concession sales. Yes attendance matters. Having teams that travel well in your conference makes all the difference in the world.

Always fun to talk sports. I hope to see UNT on or OOC soon.

I'm glad someone read the OP.

TXST 2012 OOC is full. Texas State has these OOC games for 2012 Houston 9/1/2012 Away Texas Tech 9/8/2012 Home Nevada 9/29/2012 Home New Mexico 10/4/2012 Away Navy 11/15/2012 Away

http://blog.mysanantonio.com/the-local-scene/2011/01/espn-could-be-interested-in-first-utsa-texas-state-football-game/ “We haven’t gotten to the point where we’ve put dates to the 2012 football games,” WAC boss Karl Benson said, “but that first Texas State-UT-San Antonio WAC game in 2012 might be pretty good. It might be a game that ESPN would be very interested in.”

So far Dennise Franchione, Tim Brewster and Bobby Jack Wright are expected to interview for the job. More names are expected to be added in the next few days. Canales was mentioned but not sure he will interview (given he was just offered OC for UNT). Here is a story on the topic.

Yes If Hawaii isn't part of the WAC that frees up what $500-$1 million a year in travel cost. Also several posters on Bobcatfans keep talking like Phil Fulmer is really interested in TXST. We should know more on Monday.
