Some notable quotes:
"That opportunity will come Saturday at the Alamodome when the teams meet for the first time. The schools have long been Interstate-35 rivals in basketball and other sports.
A football game, however, likely won't be played again at least until 2016, UTSA athletic director Lynn Hickey said.
She said it's not in the plan to play Texas State before then because of two factors — long-term schedule commitments UTSA made a few years ago during its start-up process, and conference realignment, with the two programs entering different leagues next season.
All that notwithstanding, Hickey said that the schools plan to play again when they can.
“It's just going to take us awhile,” she said. “Our intentions are we'd love to go back there (to San Marcos) and play.”"
"Hickey emphasized that the game is not a sellout and is hopeful that 40,000 or 45,000 will attend. UTSA coach Larry Coker said he just wants fans from both sides to enjoy it."
