TSU-SM fans pissed

[Eagle1855]

We have also found out through research that a lot of Texas State fans are UT fans, and visa versa

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

Though I have never attended TSU, I will agree with the statement in the article. I have been on client sites in Austin and San Antonio for work and a ton of them went to TSU but they are huge Longhorn fans and don't acknowledge their Bobcat ties. I've also heard that the ones that go to TSU from that area only go there because they didn't get accepted to UT. So I think that is a valid statement.

I think it's the vice versa that's the issue....

I attended TSU-SM when it was Southwest Texas State University before transfering to North Texas. SWT was known as UT lite, by many of the students. They attended a school in San Marcos, so they could be close to the Austin nightlife. I'm guessing it's still the same.

As an aside, Hutch Bass was once a North Texas recruit. He dropped out of the football program before completing his first year. I'm not sure whether he finished college here or elsewhere. I believe that he is from Fort Worth.

Why is everyone overlooking cable AND internet for $64.99? Hook me up, Colt.

Let me tell you a little something about Texas State.. today, we have school pride. Just look how long that billboard lasted. Do you think it was the community that ripped Grande? No. It was noticed on a weekend and by Monday it was taken down. We are sick of being in UT's shadow (even though the whole state is, we get it a little more since we are the closest), and try everything possible to get out from under it to differentiate ourselves.

Now, our Alumni (the SWT ones) are a different story. They tout their burnt orange like every other bandwagoner (my bro in law is a prime example - he holds longhorn football parties weekly, but attended SWT in the 80's).

And to your UT reject comment, I think this can be said for all other state schools outside of TAMU. UT rejects some good students and we, along with the other big schools, try to swoop them up. It's not like they come here to transfer out the next year, look at our retention rate (higher than UNT, UTSA, UTEP, on par with UH, and two percent behind Tech).

We do get respect from the longhorns, but only in baseball (they even come to our house). We always keep the game close and shoot ourselves in the foot during the last inning. The last 3-4 I have gone to against UT, we lost by one run.. and remember, this is to one of the nation's most respected teams.

I'm a student now, and while I didn't apply to UT, I was accepted to Tech and TAMU. I chose Texas State and not once have I regretted my decision.

For the same reason MeanGreen61 lurks bobcatfans.com and chimes in when UNT is mentioned.. Are other schools' fans not welcome?

Just trying to offer some insight into the thread topic, thats all.

It's not you, it's just that we know Larry Teis has spies everywhere. He's cunning like that.

A Rashad Bobino billboard would have probably been a better idea
