There has to be a magic formula for unlocking athletic success at Texas State. Right?
My alma mater is a bit unique in how they moved up to the FBS. The Texas State Bobcats didn't start a team from scratch, nor did they wait until they had plenty of wins and rings to make the transition. Instead, they did it the really hard way.
Twelve years ago, Texas State football was in the midst of a 20 year dry spell so pronounced that nobody in their right mind cared about it. Every athletic facility ranged from dilapidated to downright embarrassing, and the fanbase was nonexistent.
