Senior Day
Let's fill up Bobcat Stadium and celebrate the 2011 football senior class who have given so much to Texas State. These seniors will be playing their final game in a Bobcat uniform. See football roster.
"T" Association Weekend
Texas State welcomes back to campus former letter winners from all sports for "T" Association weekend at Bobcat Stadium. During halftime of the game the "T" Association Hall of Honor will welcome three new members into its fraternity.
Rudy Bowles, Aubrey Horner and Claude Mathis will be inducted into the Hall of Honor as the 2011 class.
15,000 Strong
The final game of the 2011 football season for Texas State is this Saturday versus the undefeated and rival, Sam Houston State Bearkats.
As a benchmark for Texas State and the NCAA it is a requirement that FBS programs must average 15,000 fans per game. Due to the great support of the Bobcat faithful all season long we have an awesome opportunity to average 15,000 fans right now giving us a leg up when we start playing FBS football in 2012.
Let's Finish Strong... 15,000 strong by packing Jim Wacker Field at Bobcat Stadium this Saturday.

Game Traditions
Pride of the Hill Country Marching Band
Get ready for the game by getting in the stadium early and singing the beloved fight song and alma mater with the Bobcat Marching Band. The Pride of the Hill country takes the field 20 minutes before kickoff and is as much a part of the game day experience as the game itself.
"T-X-S-T"
It's an acronym for Texas State University. Each time the Bobcats kickoff yell "T-X-S-T" as the ball is kicked to the opposing team.
3rd Down Noise with Hells Bells
Everyone needs a little extra motivation and energy. Bobcats fans love to provide this for our team. When the Bobcats are on defense and its 3rd down make some noise when you hear the hells bells.
Train Fist Pump
Trains are as much a part of San Marcos as the river. When a train rolls through San Marcos during the game, pull the train horn.
Fight Song
Sing it everytime it's played. Hear it by clicking here. Eat 'em Up, Cats.
