Well, hot damn! They will be ready for the PAC 12 after they finish their 2'nd year (as in this year) at the NCAA FBS level.

(Would this really not be their next easily fore-casted move as to do this name tweak)?

We should still send them a special commendation of congratulations; maybe even one from UNT System Chancellor Lee Jackson and/or UNT's main campus Prez' Lane Rawlins for having taken our place in the Sun Belt as "the only Texas-based football playing school in the SBC" (and for them to hold that honor high with pride........... yet with a whole bunch of geographical frustration due to the lack of even one state-wide conference rivalry).

Just as an aside, check out your local big city yellow pages and just see how many "Texas States this or Texas States that there are. My first pair of glasses at age 12 even came from Texas State Optical down in Freeport,Texas.

And of course, the Texas State Armadillos very mascot is an online resident of, uh.....GoMeanGreen.com!

So Texas State in the Lone Star State is without a doubt an oft' used name. Fact is that their present HFC has tried to leave Texas State-Glass Bottom Boats at least twice that I know of for North Texas HFC's job.

First time Coach Fran applied, we, uh, hired a HS coach instead. To quote one of our GMG.com posters: We have met the enemy and the enemy is us but............all that was yesterday and our yesterdays like that are gone (I do think forever).

GMG!
