Texas State makes a bid for my heart, while Idaho is slip-sliding away


I have personally made no secret online that I have a place in my heart for Texas-San Antonio football, better known as UTSA. The Roadrunners averaged over 30,000 fans last year as an FCS independent in the first year of the football program. I was impressed by the web presence of @CokerChronicles, @RowdyReport, and @UTSAinsiders. UTSA was a program with great energy around it.

It made me happy, then, that the Runners won their first FBS game against fellow newcomer South Alabama 33-31. But what happened in Houston last week courtesy of another Texas upstart was even more awesome, from a pure sport-loving standpoint. The picture above encapsulates much of that awesomeness.
