They wanted every game to be in SA, including TXST "home" games, because the capacity is higher. The last game played in SA had 39,000+ fans. TXST insisted the first be played in San Marcos and it be a true home and home. SHould be a fun series with high attendance and sellouts.
Games like this could help spur further stadium expansion.
Honestly, if we could get another recognizable Texas team to do a home and home that's flipped with the UTSA series, we'd have a GREAT start to our schedules for those 8 years.
Its nice that we have Houston for a couple games as well. Now to get UNT, UTEP, Rice, or SMU.
I was thinking now get TCU or Baylor to continue playing a Big 12 in state game since our series with Texas Tech is over.
I would love that. Baylor is booked for a while though.

With Larry and Fran's TCU ties, you would think we'd have had another game or 2 or 3 with them by now.

The Problem with TCU Is... We plan to Keep SMU Series going.. So that Gives Us 10 Games already so that leaves 1 & 1 with P5 and 1 FCS Game..
Would love drop the FCS Team and Play other Texas Teams.. Bobcats have some great fans come to TCU few years back...

Now it would be even more fans and a full stadium for both schools. Wish we could work something out.

TCU is the only Texas school I wouldn't mind doing a 2-1 with. We need exposure in the metroplex.
