Did Anyone See This Tsu Poll

As for the thread before this point, all I have to say is: tl;dr.

SMU is our main rival. It's just too perfect: a private school that has a stereotypically wealthy fanbase that seems to look down to its' state school neighbor to the north. They're the closest D-IA football school, there's the Hayden Fry connection, Safeway Bowl, etc. Enough said on that.

It'd be nice to have something going on with Texas State should they figure out what's going to happen with the WAC, the same goes for Louisiana Tech and NMSU if that conference can't solve its problems. I'd be fine with those two joining the Sun Belt, even TSU.

Remember, there are 2.5 million people within a 50 mile radius of San Marcos. And I think there is enough talent to go around. Other states recruit heavily out of Texas, yet our home universities do just fine in finding talent. If anything, TXST will open up more scholarships to kids who might not want to play college ball up in Wyoming. Plus Rice and SMU often don't recruit the same kind of kids as the state schools, so I wouldn't count those.

Doesn't compare to 7+ million in the D/FW Metroplex (50 mile Radius), without an AQ, National Championship program in that same vicinity.

And 75% of those 2.5 million are within 25 miles of Austin, not San Marcos.

And you're on a football message board, why bring up rivalry's in other sports?

Love the passion, absolutely appreciate it, but a long way to go my friend.

Best of luck, sincerely, for you will need it.
