    As a LSU and TJ Finley fan, i've followed this team all season. Crazy to see this when they were used to being known as one of the worst teams in FBS.

    It makes me so unbelievably happy to see the college football world talk about TXST positively for a change. I graduated in 2018 and sat through the Franchione/Withers/Spavital eras and it was miserable. The student section was always empty after the first quarter and it was clear that the AD Larry Teis and rest of the admin didn’t care about on the field success. They couldn’t even be bothered to give our athletes proper nutrition or treatment for injuries and there was just no effort to get fans/students/alumni invested in the program. I always knew we could be a G5 powerhouse with the right AD and Coach and I think we’re finally heading in that direction. I hope Kinne stays a couple more years so we can really see the potential this program has. Great video, Eat ‘em up, Cats!

    Hey! Great video! TXST has been on the rise this season and as a UTSA Alum, it excites me for future games!
    A little fun fact is that G.J. played for Jeff Traylor, UTSA's Head Coach, at Gilmer For his Senior season after the shooting, worked together at SMU (2017) and Arkansas (2018), and together have been making the entire Texas football scene great again. A video idea might be the greatness of the SA football scene in 2022 as it was a spectacular year for UTSA, UIW, and Trinty University Football. Although we beat TXST this year it was anybody's game the whole time! We are currently 5-0 in our rivalry with TXST but I don't know how much longer that will last. You earned my subscription!

    Fun Fact: The school featured in the 1991 movie Necessary Roughness was the fictional Texas State Armadillos. They call the school Texas State because, at the time, there was no school simply called "Texas State." I always thought that Southwest Texas State missed a golden marketing opportunity when they shortened their name to Texas State by not changing their nickname to the Armadillos, and changing their colors to the green and white of the Necessary Roughness Texas State.

    Long ago and far away I saw my first VIRGIN BIRTH in San Marcus at the old Hospital, before Crispus. I was working the ER to pick up some extra cash when the ER Nurse called saying there was a patient in the ER. It happened to be Super Bowl Sunday with 5 minutes left in the game, and a close score. I explaine the Super Bowl situation to the Nurse and she said, "don't rush... she just has some mild abdominal pain." When the game was over, I started down the hall to the ER and ran into the ER nurse pushing a women into the Labor and Delivery suite. She informed me that my potential patient was having a baby.
    The lady said, over and over, "I am not pregnant." "There is no way I am pregnant." "Listen to me! I am NOT PREGNANT!!!!" "I have not had sex!!"

    With millions of people and thousands of highschools 130+ universities can all field highly talented rosters which makes for a great spectacle year in and year out which is why the regular season and conference championships will always be the point of it.
    Since the lizard people have taken over everything and Baal worshipers run this country we have lost so many traditions that make us great to begin with including college football.
    I'll still watch it but these gigantic super conferences with little regional reference are killing what made this sport the best. Playoffs? Man f*#k that noise. There's no such thing as a definitive champion unless it's a round robin season, not a post season which is why it's called post season just like preseason.

    Well, since then- Kinne recruited a convicted rapist out of Hawaii to play QB. Finley and the 2nd string QB’s entered the portal and left. The rapist QB lasted a week at TXST before pressure after being exposed by the school’s newspaper. So, entering Spring 2024, TXST had no proven QB.
    Kinne was bailed out only because the JMU QB transferred to TXST.
    Again, the TXST coach, AD and administration recruited and attempted to hide a convicted rapists because they thought he was a good QB.
    TXST will do well and continue to improve, but Kinne is a scummy man.
