Comment on Who Owns ‘TXST’? by Late/Never

Late/Never — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 20:21:37 +0000

The school rebranded itself as ‘Texas State’. Yes, the full name of the school is ‘Texas State University – San Marcos’, but that’s not what comes out of your mouth when a friend asks you what school you’re going to.

There’s four major terms that state universities use in their names.

1. U of ___
2. __ Tech
3. __ A&M
4. __ State

With the re-branding, the school grabbed the last of these four. It’s pulling the university up the ladder in name alone. It doesn’t mean the school is any different immediately, but there have already been results in the first six years. Enrollment, revenue, brand awareness, we’re even headed for the WAC, something that was out of the question 10 years ago.

‘Texas State’. Three syllables. That’s how ESPN commentators and alumni will refer to the school. TXST is the most direct abbreviation, and avoids any possible confusion with Texas Southern – Even now, after attending Texas State for years, I associate TSU with Southern, not State.

Oh, and TXST looks way better than TSU or TXSU. It’s nearly symmetrical. TXXT. Regardless of what your personal opinion is, this is the direction we’re going in. And it’s the right one.

Lipstick on a pig, enjoy FCS for a while once the WAC folds.

Incredible! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a totally different topic but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Superb choice of colors!

Comment on BobcatFans March 2011 Issue by Jonathan Kubala

So I was checking out your March issue when I came across your piece on live music. Clearly written by an incoming freshman, I must inform you that your article was not only a huge disappointment to me, but a kick in the face to the local music scene, along with the true enthusiasts that make it up. So let me offer you a little a tip. There’s a little place just down the way from your beloved “square” that serves up the best live music Texas has to offer. Maybe you’ve heard of it. It’s called Cheatham Street Warehouse, and it’s been open longer than you’ve been alive. Cheatham Street has had a few musicians come through the doors throughout the years to play and get their start when nobody else would let them play. I figure you’re probably not that into the country music scene considering your article, so I don’t expect you to know names like George Strait, Randy Rogers, or Stevie Ray Vaughn. That’s okay. By the time you graduate, you’ll find your way over there, and once you do, you’ll never want to leave. So I urge you: Staff of BobcatFans…come out and see a REAL live music venue. You won’t regret it. (Also, it’d be nice if you’d redo the piece).

Cheers,

The first time I met Garland, he did something to make me feel very welcome. I didn’t know who he was for quite a while. No need for details, but I will always remember him. He served his Lord.

Writers Rick Koch & Steve Helsing did an outstanding job with this tribute to Garland. It couldn’t have been better. It’s also an encouragement to others which is what Garland would have wanted. Thank you, a friend of Garland’s.
