Nov 16 2009 - 10:58pm | Joseph O. Garcia


Texas State’s Bradley George, senior quarterback, had a chance for the second consecutive week to lead the Bobcats to a come-from-behind victory.

George had not thrown an interception in 210 passing attempts. However, his final pass Saturday was caught by McNeese State safety Malcolm Bronson at the Cowboys’ 10-yard line with 22 seconds remaining.

“I stepped up in the pocket and just tried to make a play,” George said.

The Bobcats were down by three with 1:30 minutes left in the game when Texas State took over on offense.

The Texas State Bobcats had their four-game win streak snapped with a 30-27 loss to the McNeese Cowboys.

“It was just another Southland Conference game for us,” said Coach Brad Wright. “It went the distance. It took four quarters, but this time it didn’t work out for us.”

The Bobcats’ 6-4 record mathematically eliminates Texas State from playoff contention. Playoff teams have to beat at least seven Division I teams in the FCS during the season. Even if Texas State wins next week, the Bobcats would have only beaten six.

The Texas State men’s basketball team began the 2009 to 2010 season with a rout of Howard Payne in a 35-point victory.

The Yellow Jackets seemingly could not miss in the first half. Howard Payne shot more than 58 percent from the field, including 5-for-5 shooting from behind the arc.

The Bobcats were ahead 51-43 at the half because of the play from three returning lettermen starters.

Students from Texas State are teaching a University of Texas economics professor a lesson.

A brief, seemingly innocuous comment by Dan Hamermesh at the end of a story published in The Daily Texan sparked an online storm Wednesday at Texas State. The comment read, “We are not Austin Community College or Texas State University. We should be training the leaders of tomorrow to think.”

Veterans Day has lost its meaning, said Air Force Brigadier Gen. Randall Starbuck.

According to Starbuck, the day is not about supporting wars or political ideologies, nor shopping sales.

“It’s about honoring (veterans’) service to our country,” Starbuck said. “It’s about recognizing that brave men and women are ready, at any time, to serve when America is in danger.”

Students and university officials came together Wednesday beneath The Quad’s oak tree canopy and Fighting Stallions in the name of one cause — honoring American soldiers.

Faculty Senators have debated the idea of changing parking next to dorms to faculty parking, according to Bill Peeler, Transportation and Parking Committee co-chair.

“The idea of freshmen not being able to have cars on campus and having parking  in satellite lots is something that has been debated many times over in the past several years,” Peeler said in a previous interview. “I’m sure it will be one that we discuss again.”

Satellite parking lots are on the perimeter of campus.
