Texas State changed its name a couple of years ago because - as the school president put it - they didn't want to be known as a 'regional school' any longer (formerly Southwest Texas State). They also had visions - at the time - of moving up to Div. 1-A status. Whether that will happen now is still a big question mark.

Bear in mind that the Aggie$ only had 3 days to prepare for the Bobkitties of TSU3. They're predicted by some to win the SLC this year.

Now that I've got that off my chest...GO MUSTANGS! BEAT THE GREEN WAVE!


I think you are awesome MR Mustang, but I think you are missing a very important element here. What separates D-I from other divisions is depth and size. What separates the big D-I teams from the lower ones is depth and size. When you have no horribly hot weather depth becomes much less of a factor.

I think we would have hung with them with last night's weather/situation.

Also, remember that A&M is thinking fairly highly of themselves after beating the team that beat the team that beat OU. When depth is taken out of the picture, the little teams can come up big. Texas State is a pretty good team. We need to make sure to play them in the heat of the day next year.
Just remember...the Aggie$ will get a shot at OU later in the season.

That Bobcat QB is Barrick Nealy, a Div. 1-A transfer from the University of Houston last year.
