The game should be close. I think both fanbases will likely pick their team in a close one.

Nah.

The fact that NT could produce and fund a program is > than not producing one. So a .300 record and all the good and bad experiences associated with it is > than a N/A. If you disagree with that, then why did UTSA build a program in the first place?

UTSA should have a slightly better win percentage than they do. While there are many similarities between NT and UTSA, UTSA does not have nearly the regional competition that NT does. The circumstances could not be more dissimilar. In the immediate 100 miles only Texas St and UT for attendance.

NT competes with SMU, TCU, and damned-near weekly visits from A&M, 'Bama, Michigan, Arkansas, etc in the Jerry Dome. With all of that UTSA averages 5K more people this season.

With any luck the best UTSA can hope for is a UAB situation.

My statement was that Texas Northern has a trash program, not that they have a young program. Being around a long time doesn't spare you from the trash label.

UT has more clout than TCU and SMU combined. 5k is not an insignificant amount at our level, that's upwards of 25% of what you average. The best we can hope for is a UAB situation? Haha that's just dumb. Give us the opportunity to build a consistent winner before you imply we've reached our ceiling when it comes to fan support. I mean it's always possible we don't ever build that consistent winner (Texas Northern is a prime example of that) but I'm optimistic that we will.
