RIVALS ON GRIDIRON

If you ask Texas State fans who the Bobcats biggest rivals are, you could get numerous answers, anything from UTSA, to Sam Houston to even Texas A&M Kingsville.

But no matter what the answer may be, rivalries are an important part of college athletics.

“They are really important,” Texas State Director of Athletics Don Coryell said. “It’s great for the fans and the tradition. It’s great to have a game scheduled on the calendar that everyone is looking forward to. Typically, a great rival comes with a great atmosphere, so it’s a lot of fun for everyone to play in and participate in.”
