UTSA and Texas will meet again on Sept. 14, 2024, on Sept. 19, 2026 and on Sept. 16, 2028, before closing out the series on Sept. 14, 2030.

Will be tough to decide who to root against.

Horrible series for utsa.

Nice of UT to work with their stepdaughter program like that.

[KRAM1]

All home games for Texas. Why ink that deal unless Texas is paying UTSA a butt-load of cash...pretty much on the scale Obama gave Iran! THAT much cash.

UTSA getting shafted off the field before they get shafted on it. Where will everyone be celebrating UTSA's bi-annual ass kicking?

[Mean Green 93-98]

G5 teams willing to get worked over like this make it all the tougher to get teams like UT to come to Apogee.

UTSA deserves to get beat by 50 points every game.

[greenminer]

Memories of those road games during the Dickey era.  Amazing how they helped build our program kept our program afloat while killing fan morale.

[letsgiveacheer]

We should sign UNT-D for a five game series at Apogee.

[MCMLXXX]

Which team will most utsa students root for?

The UTs of the world will do everything possible to avoid playing a G5 team on the road. They’ve had to with Wyoming and UTEP in the past, but they have no interest in doing that if avoidable.

Teams like Cal or other middle to lower P5s are your only hopes to get to play at Apogee. That’s why SMU, UH, Army, and Memphis are great OOC games for us. It just amazes me that RV only got Indiana as the only P5 to play in Apogee for all these years. So pathetic to not even be able to schedule home games that were even or below Fouts’ level.

Texas signed UTEP for all of the alternating years. Keeping it all in-system now.

That's my point exactly.  If G5s would collectively say, "We're not going to play at your place if you won't play at ours," the UTs of the world would have to play G5 teams on the road.

Not to say we haven't been very, very guilty in the past, but at least it seems we're trying to get away from playing an annual away guarantee game.

Yeah it makes a lot of sense for the UT system.  Auto win for UT and good publicity for UTWirp and sack.  Plus they don’t have to pay as much for the game since they are all in the same system.  In a ways it’s kind of monopolistic.  Sack will bring a big crowd.

[NorthTexasWeLove]

Is there money involved? If not, nutsack is what we thought they were. If so, nutsack is what we thought they were. 

[Mean Green Matt]

This makes our 2 for 0 series with Iowa look like a home run. 

[EagleMBA]

This is what nUTSAck will hear from the clerk behind the desk at the team's hotel when they arrive in Austin for the first game...

[Aquila_Viridis]

Next the University of Central Texas will take it to the next level and schedule spring-game type fall games against themselves.

[Green Lantern]

Live look at UTSA fans hearing about this series.

It’s not like UTSA or UTEP can even fight UT on this anyway, plus they can’t afford to turn it down, either. 

I’d much rather us play teams like Iowa, Arkansas, or Wisconsin than our old plan of playing every Southern Power at their place for $$$.

No they will not bring anyone other than team family. Everyone who goes or went to UTSA are UT fans. Everyone in San Antonio that goes to UTSA games go because they can't affoard or make the trip to Austin.
