UTSA at TXST - Hate Week
The "Don't Call it a Rivalry" Rivalry kicks off Saturday on ESPN2.
TXST is looking for their first win against UTSA.
The two schools are 53 miles apart and this would be a sellout if COVID wasn't a thing. Time to get a win against those nearly flightless birds.

RE: UTSA at TXST - Hate Week
I'd call this my second favorite bird/cat rivalry in the country, obviously after GS/GSU.
It ties with USM/USA and ranks higher than SC/Clemson, Louisville/UK, KU/Mizzou, FAU/FIU, Auburn fans saying war eagle/Auburn fans saying go tigers, and whichever bird school in the MAC hates Ohio the most.

I think this is the year y’all get us to be honest. Should be a close game. Maybe OT even. Wouldn’t be shocked.

RE: UTSA at TXST - Hate Week
Y'all fought tooth & nail with SMU, so I'm a bit concerned about our game this year. Was in attendance for the other three, but the COVID reduced-ticket allocation kept me from getting a seat this year. Glad it'll be on ESPN2 though.

Too bad our LSU game got cancelled that would’ve been played this past weekend. Would’ve been nice to get some of those jitters out of the way and see what we looked like. Nonetheless, I’m pumped up about this Saturday and am expecting a really good game. Too bad for covid I’m sure this would’ve sold out

Yall might have first game jitters but you also have film on us now. So its a double edged sword.

Positives for UTSA
- No game film on us since we haven't played yet.
Positives for Texas State
- Have a game behind you (typical jitters)
- Are at home
- Weren't in the position of trying to get ready for this COVID season with a new coaching staff. Getting ready for a season is hard enough for a new staff as it is, but this year, that first game goes far beyond mere jitters because our coaches have had such little time to really get to know our players and put in their new offensive and defensive schemes. You've had little time to get ready also, but I believe that aside from having a new OC, your major pieces were already in place and it's more a matter of fine-tuning what you've done the last couple seasons.
That said, I'm concerned not so much for those reasons though as I am that you guys seem to have made some real improvements from last season. I know you can't determine a lot from one game, but you guys lost to SMU by 30 last season, and only 7 this year. Could be the ponies aren't what they were last year, but it could also be that you've made some real strides.
We'll find out on Saturday. Should be a good one.

RE: UTSA at TXST - Hate Week
first game you competed tooth and nail with someone that you were suppose to lose big to. now, winning a game you are suppose to win is the next step for Texas St. this season.

RE: UTSA at TXST - Hate Week
Looks like TXST will have Vitt back as a back-up QB and TEs as well after finishing COVID quarantine. It was weird to have a game with zero TEs.

RE: UTSA at TXST - Hate Week
boy I was wring about this game Texas State looks horrible they have nothing going for them on offense
I did not know the QB was out, but the running game is terrible and the play calling is worse
Spav needs to fire his brother the DC
Texas State is playing flat as hell and their offense just looks horrible
I was never big on the Spav hire, but after last week I thought Texas State would have a major advantage in this game, but UTSA looks like they are the ones that have played a game and Texas State looks like they have not practiced since last year
Texas State is playing this like it is a body bag or money game and they are just trying to get through it and move on.....horrible
if they cannot play a lot better in the second half they might need to pull a USM and just fire Spav now and save the cash....have the training staff coach and call the plays
