- Texas State may be one of the best stories this season when it comes to college football. A program that has been at the bottom of College Football for nearly a decade not only upset a Power 5 team this year but also just became bowl eligible and have the chance to win 10 games. What is even crazier is they are doing this with a roster that had been gutted and with a first-year head coach. This is the story of College Football’s Best Story this year. This is the rise of Texas State Football.

We used to lose games 64-3 when I was at Texas State
Same lmaooo
Best party school in Texas
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!
It will be awesome to see where this program can go if they continue to recruit the right way. Glad to see y'all find success
I'm an alum and I never understood the aloofness our administration had towards our sports programs. Never made a lick of sense. It was almost a sadness on campus surrounding it.
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.
Toula 🌊
They're still ass
I’m an auburn fan that lives in San Marcos, getting to go to some home games has been cool. TJ has balled
This channel is so underrated. Such a great documentary. I’m already pumped for whatever the next one will be.
I really appreciate that. I try my best
With Texas being a football state, it was always strange for a school called Texas state to be bad at football. Hopefully this success lasts a long time
I mean there’s already UT, A&M, TTU, Baylor, Houston, SMU, TCU, Rice, UTEP, UTSA, North Texas, Sam Houston…..
Utsa program is only five years old. Texas state is the new name.
I'm surprised you didn't talk about the role the prior administration and AD played in our struggles.
As a ex lake Travis player and Texas state student love to hear the high school plugged and seeing the college get all the love. Big year upcoming
As an Lsu fan im a huge fan of TJ Finley who is from Ponchatoula. I remember Ed O blew up on him that not only was TJ done as an Lsu QB, but also that Ed O had lost his way I never saw him do that before.
Great video! TXST is indeed the best college football story of the season!
The head coach is my neighbor I’ve still never talked to him he never comes out lol.
Lol it’s football season. Early morning late nights
Football coaches have no life.. They get to the facility early in the morning before the sun comes up and get home late at night.. football coach hours are pretty insane..
finally someone did texas state you've earned a sub
I'm so proud of my alma mater. It feels good to a Bobcat.
Eat 'Em Up, Cats! My Freshman year was 2013 and although I never did graduate from TxSt, I've always been more of an NCAA football fan than NFL - it's amazing getting to see an actually competitive Texas State team finally!
What’s crazy is this team as well as New Mexico State (another great story) have got ZERO, literally zero attention from media or anything spoken about them. Instead, we get coverage on a terrible 4-8 Colorado team with a manufactured story.
You should talk about college sprint football. It is like regular college football but all players need to be below 178 pounds. It would be a very interesting video.
It’s been something I’ve actually been wanting to look into
Texas State Alumni here. I went to school for most of the Spavital era. Miserable unwatchable football was being played, and I was actually at a lot of those games. I can't tell you how happy I am the team is good now. Thanks for the awesome video
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!
Happy to see TJ ballin out
Awesome thanks
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.
No.
No.
SWT had been playing ball for over 80 years when that movie came out and already had an established mascot and colors. The fictional Texas State in the movie used green and white cause it was the colors of UNT, where the football scenes were filmed.
Well, SWT beat Texas State in the movie, didn't they?
As a Texas resident I have said for years there is no reason for TXST not to be a G5 powerhouse , really not hard to recruit a young man to San Marcos
I always think any college , new or established , can be pretty successful in Texas. They have everything in place already to succeed.....rabid football loving fans/alumni.....in state talent in droves, many HS having college-level programs.....
a competitive desire to be good regardless of cost.
It's all there.
Happy that I got to experience this BANG in my senior year 🔥
Brian Holloway and Mason Shipley are going to be house hold names within time
When I got NCAA 13 and started playing it (about 4yrs ago) i picked the Bobcats since they were one of the worst teams in the game, I have a love for the team now and I use them in NCAA 25 and am in my 3rd season and its going quite well👍
TXST was my SQUADDDDD in ncaa14 used them for almost a decade lol
Getting Incarnate Word’s coach was huge
Eat ‘Em Up
GO CATS GO!
Maroon and Gold on high
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!!"
My first virgin birth...
Nothing is impossible in Texas. Texas State to the moon!
I read about all the QB uproar. Where is Finley now?
Cfb25 dynasty mode
my team go bobcats
Best story? Arizona Wildcats. 9-3 this year following a 1-12 season two years ago. I believe, st one point, they had lost 19 in a row daying back to 2020. Fisch and his staff have build a solid program
Tj Finley is a NFL Quarterback hope my Seahawks draft him he special
Let's see if they finally beat UTSA, here's to 6-0 on the rivalry 🤙🤙🤙
I live down the road from the stadium
I've been trying to warn everybody for years Sunbelt is becoming the strongest group of five team, adding in James Madison only helps that, Texas State one like 10 division two titles or some s***.. basically at this point the Sunbelt is like some of the best teams in the region in FCS over the last 30 years, it's like an FCS South All-Star conference.. at this point we just need to add Richmond.
Well I guess I'm wrong, maybe I'm thinking of some other small Texas division 2 team.. I could have sworn I seen something on ESPN about it like 10 years ago.
If it's such a rise, why does no one know about this? I live in Texas and never hear anything about them.
They are like 20 miles from UT, most people in the Austin area don't even know about them
@@MylesHSG well that's not at all true. LMAO
But in a major city and a decade a struggle has led to no major news station giving regular coverage to them and not enough success to force them to
should do the down fall of hawaii video
Now we are BOWL winners!!! TEXAS… STATE!!! #eatemup
Eat ‘Em Cats
‘08-‘12
It's GJ Kinne, not GJ Kenny
As someone who moved to the area and called it “San Marcos” it’s apparently “Marcus” not “Marcos”, irrelevant to your video but someone from there will eventually find this video and tell you
The people that make that an issue are the problem anyway. Marcos is phonetically correct, Marcus is the lazy slang.
San Marcos not Marcus
It's Spanish it's marcos idunno who says marcus lol
Jake was at wvu as well ...
.....
AAC should add Texas State of they are good the next 3 seasons.
If conference realignment continues it may very well happen
@@EmbracetheGrind Them, UTSA, North Texas, and Rice is a great Texas quartet.
@@redwolf8135 It would be awesome to see
San Marcos is not a hard sell to college students. This isnt UTEP theres no reason to be as bad as they were
Two in da pink, one in the stank
Ark St did them bad😂 what happen their qb threw like 4 pick 6’s
Texas State join CUSA! NM State, UTEP, LA Tech, SHS, and Texas state would be a great Western division
Best turnarounds...yeah right they're 6-5 😂
We’re bowl eligible for the first time in 10 years let us have this🙄
7 and 5
I just watched this video and there are some lies in it.
77-31
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.
Call a doctor and get some help wtf is wrong with you
Troy owns TXST
Not a brag
wait till you lose your coach, we will see
lets be honest arkansas state does after that game
@@Cxshify lmao that’s fair😂
Lol, this was premature. They aren't winning 10 games. And, lost 31-77 to Arkansas State.
Texas State is trash.
Arkansas state is 6-6
We’re 7-5
😂
doesnt matter with that score lol@@geraldj.pierce3847
Very bad pronunciation France -cHe - oine not Fran-coney
