I bet the Hogs are licking their chops to schedule them in ooc games.
Texas State is terrible. They are going to have a rough time for many years.
Man, this Is almost as bad as the SEC letting Arkansas in
UAPB are the Golden Lions and play in the SWAC
Texas State is a up and coming program pull players from Austin and SA.
I've been watching Texas State for a few years now and they have never really been impressive. Based on the 3 sports that most people look at football, basketball, and baseball. They have been middle of the pack to bottom of the Southland conference over the past few years in football. They won the title in 2008 with a 5-3 record only because UCA was the real champs that year but they couldn't be awarded the title. Basketball finishes around .500 every season. Baseball is pretty good they usually win 35-40 games a season. Overall they are going to struggle for many years like I stated before especially in football. Baseball may hit a few bumps along they way but shouldn't be too bad. Basketball will be probably be worse. They are kind of like North Texas you would think they would have good teams based on they are located but they just can't seem to put it together. San Marcos is in a really tough spot too. 20 minutes north is the University of Texas and 20 minutes south is UTSA both areas that I consider more attractive, believe me I've been to San Marcos, although I haven't been there since they upgraded their stadium. So its going to be tough for them to break through and have success.
Wasn't Texas State the team UCA beat on a televised ballgame in which Nathan Brown threw six TDs in the first half?
Yes Texas State was the team beat. Sorry my mind only picked out certain words when I read that the first time.
It is great to see the Sunbelt expand their TV market footprint.

They'd put up a better fight than ASU.
same old same old.
If you go to a Road Game at TX State be sure to get down there early and eat some real TX Mex and enjoy the River at Fredricksburg.
Devry, Philander Smith and Oklahoma Tire & Supply are supposed to join the Sun Belt in 2013.
The Sunbelt might want UAPB since they just won the SWAC!

70 Miles to Fredricksburg? Maybe the Guadalupe river at New Braunfels and eat at the Gristmill in Greune.
Thought Texas St was in the old Boise conference? They moved from UCA conference a couple yrs ago, so where have they been?

University of Phoenix
You'd think with 350,000 student enrollment, they would be able to field a football team!!!

They left the Southland conference in 2011. They played a Southland Schedule in 2011 as a FCS Independent in football. They played in the WAC this year.
Looks like we're also getting Georgia State. Think they were brand new just a few years ago, didn't someone from LR Central play on their very first team?
Mississippi Embalmers & Vo-Tech applies to the Southland Conference. The Maiming Morticians are just dying to get in !

lololol...those would fit right in with the likes of ASU...lol...
With the recent departures of MTSU, Bugtussle Tech and others, Bozo's Clown College has received and is mulling over an invite.
Remember, there are those to whom it's a big deal.
This video (a bit long, but not bad) was made by a former classmate of my daughter's. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=-2MGrs4YvvE#!) Georgia Southern, at least some folks there, is happy about the move.
Idaho and New Mexico St are supposed to be joining for football as well...I think both of them were Sun Belt schools before..
The Sunbelt is working hard to expand that TV market cause that is where the real money is AT!
BUMP the Sunbelt getting more TV time.
