Colton's Corner: No longer the 'Rising Star', Texas State is now the star burning the brightest

When Texas State made their name change from Southwest Texas State in 2003, the university came up with a simple motto in effort to rebrand from its regionality. ‘The Rising Star of Texas’. 

Texas State has since retired the moniker as of this year but it seems appropriate following the Bobcats 43-36 win over the Roadrunnners that the university is no longer the rising star, but the shining star of the state. 

But before the road win over UTSA and the Bobcats recent succes, Texas State was seemingly more like a falling star than a rising one with the I-35 rivalry showcasing that futility.
