Finally, stay late all the way until the clock strikes zero and the Bobcats sing the beloved school alma mater and fight song.

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.
