"A whole conference, the Sun Belt, competes for a berth in the New Orleans Bowl knowing it can't aim much higher."

Humm...good media or bad media?

Well either way it is on the spot right media.

As much as I hate to say this, right now I would say that's TRUE media. For right now.

"We need campus life," Hickey said. (UTSA ATHLETIC DIRECTOR)

This is going to be UTSA's biggest hurdle, and it will not happen overnight. Look at how our tag, and though partly right, as a commuter school hurt us for years. It has certainly improved! Up until about 10 years ago, most of the students that lived on or near campus did not stay in Denton on the weekend. It has greatly improved, I know first hand as a business owner on the square, these college students hang out on the weekend. And we had pretty good student attendance I think the last few seasons. Certainly, it could be better, and if we start winning, the ones in the parking lot may actually come into the stadium. UTSA does not even have a "Fry Street". I know they have a coach that has won a national title, but schools were not even honking outside his house to hire him, much less knock on his door. The Alamodome will look more like the state high school championship attendance as for as a crowd goes. I also believe UTSA alum is a lot less likely to support the athletic program than UNT's alums. And we know what could happen if even 40 to 50% of our base in the metroplex would step up.
