Further evidence the transfer portal is the only way to go

The Bobcats almost took down rival SMU, fell in double-overtime to UTSA by a field goal, lost to P5 Boston College on the road, 24-21 - among several other "close calls." And while coming close may only work in horseshoes and hand grenades, it definitely shows that Jake Spavital has this Texas State program trending in the right direction. While most other programs have been focused on recruiting high school players to develop in their system, Spavital has been signing JUCO transfers and cleaning up in the transfer portal. On paper, that looks like the quickest way to build a winner.

Burning bridges to high school recruits seems like a bad idea on paper, but it might work out for them with the extra COVID year. 

They likely won't be as backlogged on future classes because they have a bunch of guys who are there more short term. Could go either way. I don't think Spavital is going to be there much longer, but who knows

I wonder if we could beat them

This is a series I have long said we should enter into.  Drivable both ways and San Marcos is a good place to stay overnight for a game.

It will be interesting to see the long-term effects of this approach.

If it fails people will say he was crazy, If it works this board will be filled with "they have passed us by" and " why didn't we do this?"

Didn't feel like this was worthy of its own thread.

...don't like your PT? This guy didn't.  So he entered the portal then showed the world [apparently] why.
 

 

Yeah, he's dangerous. Baits his defender with false steps on his breaks. Alphas the ball away from defenders. Splits defenders with burst acceleration. High points well on fades for his size. Strong hands allows him to pluck the ball extremely well. Where do I sign up?

Couldn't agree more. San Marcos is the prettiest college town in Texas, has a great night life, rivers, not far from amazing BBQ, etc.

Just start a petition to boot UTSA out of the conference and replace with San Marcos.  I'd sign that in a heartbeat.

As someone who grew up in West Texas and visited Alpine frequently (and not because it was some hipster instagram thing to do), I agree.

For as ugly as it can be in certain places, the Chihuahuan Desert has some breathtaking views.

I love the progression of Marfa-Alpine-Marathon. from fake Prada store for the 'gram and $200/night hotels, to quaint college town, to old school West Texas stop-light town...all within 50 miles or so.

      Cotton, Vice And Mason

      I would also like to see Vice and Mason get more minutes. They looked good in the limited action I saw them. Senior privilege minutes for Sissoko and Stone are at the expense of better players.

      The Band

      I know this isn't the most important topic, but I was curious as to what others thought. I live across the country so I can't attend games unfortunately, but from watching it on TV is it just me or has the band declined in quality in the last few years? When the camera shows them they look undisciplined/inattentive, some are just wandering around chatting. I see other bands together and ready to play as soon as a play is over. The size seems to have ballooned and now sprawls across 2 sections of the stands, and despite that they sound worse. The director also doesn't seem to know that the purpose of the band is to hype up the team/crowd, and put pressure on the opposing team on 3rd downs. Play something intimidating on 3rd down! When they do play it seems like they just have a bank of songs they go through in order without considering the situation on the field. The selection of music is bad, and it doesn't seem like they have any variety of songs to connect with the crowd, many bands will play classic and modern hits to get the crowd into things. Like I said I don't know if this is true or not since I can only judge on what I see on broadcasts, what's the in-game experience like?

      What is this program missing?

      I think if you did the G5 national championship thing....and the players only got the schollie and a stipend.......I think it would draw fans like crazy. I think there are loads of folks who want amateur athletics to stay amateur. With what we draw and get in donations.....there is no way we should be paying a football coach over $1m. No way. So yeah amateur athletics, tighten the budget. These coaching staffs are huge now. Do folks not know that we now have a bigger recruiting staff.....than Hayden Fry had for an entire staff. He had six assistants. And it was better, more imaginative football. But this will likely never happen. As all these schools think they're just a break away from the "big time."

      How 'Bout Some Blame For The BOR?

      This. Unless/until the BOR and Administration decide to "...make winning at revenue sports a priority", we will only have the occasional good season more or less by accident.

      WBB at Houston (11/24/24)

      We all know you hate baseball. If you make a dollar selling a ticket, it's revenue, and a revenue sport. Profit is different. Few college sports make a profit for an Athletic Department at the G5 level. Baseball (as opposed to golf, swimming, track, etc) would lure fans to campus in the spring, spur donations, as well as tickets and merchandise. It's not always about making money (profit)...it's keeping relationships with fans and alums year-round. Non-revenue sports aren't doing it.
