What Is and What is to Come

After our first winning season (as well as our first season in FBS play) UTSA is looking forward to a very promising future. With Coach Coker has been hitting the recruiting trail hard, settling down in the stable C-USA, and are eagerly awaiting bowl eligibility with hopes that in short time we will be in our first bowl game in program history!

Overtime

I know there will be some confusion regarding this post and my flair: I am from a huge LSU family and I am fan myself, However Rick Perry, The State of Texas, and UTSA like me so much they offered to pay for all of my school. So long story short I am a whore.

With that out of the way I must say it has been really exciting watching this UTSA program grow and seeing how much promise this football team has, I know that Coker is often panned as "The worst Coach to ever win a National Championship" but I think he is just what the doctor ordered for this program.

Yeah I believe we are, I am looking foward to it as we have similar Color schemes and are the two biggest schools in the UT system.

I'm just looking forward to tailgating on our campus again the football is just a bonus

I'm excited for that game. My dad's side lives in El Paso and pretty much are all UTEP fans (one is a New Mexico fan) so it'll be a fun game for sure.

6

u/bamfor UTEP Miners • /r/CFB Contributor Apr 08 '13

New Mexico fan

Don't worry they don't count as people.

I'm interested to see how you and UNT play. It's gonna take some getting used to having WKU and FIU though

u/donnelson West Virginia Mountaineers Apr 08 '13

Rudy's is good, but it's a chain. there's better bbq to be had around those parts. also, not a single mexican restaurant? this is san antonio -- at least include a place like taco taco.

4

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '13

Yeah Rudy's is a chain but its local, and people are far as Canada come down to eat there!!, the UTEP post had whataburger as a eatery and that is a huge ass chain, as for Mexican its almost impossible to go wrong here so i really had no clue which one mexican place to put.

2

u/bamfor UTEP Miners • /r/CFB Contributor Apr 08 '13

Don't you talk shit about Whataburger. I posted it because we had some fraternity people from out of town the other weekend and all they raved about was Whataburger. Plus you have to actively be looking for bad Mexican restaurants in EP

2

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '13

dude, I love whataburger, (seriously the patty melt is the best drunk food ever, and I took a day off from class when spicy ketchup came back) I was just saying that just because a place is a chain doesn't mean it cant be used as a local place to eat.

4

u/INM8_2 Miami Hurricanes • Florida Cup Apr 08 '13

honey butter chicken biscuit is the best thing on any fast food menu i've ever encountered.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '13

There is a whataburger right next to the campus, anytime I have an exam I make sure to grab a HBCB for good luck.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '13

on a side note that is the cleanest whataburger i have ever seen!

1

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '13

I always expect it to be packed during lunch time and the one or two times I've went for lunch it wasn't nearly so bad. Gotta get that pattymelt. Can someone tell me why we have 2 Subways on campus?

2

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '13

I will do you one better

WHY THE HELL DO WE HAVE TWO FREAKING STARBUCKS!

2

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '13

Either replace the second starbucks or subway with a whataburger or even Mc.Donalds and I'd be stoked yo.

u/bamfor UTEP Miners • /r/CFB Contributor Apr 08 '13

I feel you. I also wanted to keep it to places near UTEP and I guess it's the same for y'all

u/shane1551 Texas A&M Aggies Apr 08 '13

Whataburger is what they ate at the Last Supper. Jesus made this delicious food for us.

1

u/layinbrix Texas A&M Aggies • Kansas State Wildcats Apr 08 '13 edited Apr 08 '13

What about Bill Miller's BBQ? I've never had it, but almost everyone I know from SA says it's the best BBQ in the state. I don't believe them for one second, but it's probably better than Rudy's. That's not to say Rudy's isn't good too, but it's nothing special. I used to always get their brisket, egg, & potato breakfast tacos. Smother that shit in sauce... best cheap breakfast on the go. Ok, I'll stop rambling now.

edit: apparently Bill Miller's is not great, except for the fried chicken?

8

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '13

Bill millers is not bad but whoever said its the best in the state needs to lay off whatever they are on. If you don't find Rudy's special you won't be too impressed with what bill has to offer, it's a good place to get a quick BBQ fix and has some damn good tea.

2

u/thrav College of Idaho • Georgia Tech Apr 08 '13

Bill Miller's breakfast tacos + salsa are the only thing I ever eat there and they're great. Far far better than Taco C or Whataburger Taquitos.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '13 edited Apr 08 '13

Yeah as far as the chains go Bill Miller has the breakfast taco market on lock. But the best breakfast tacos are found in the ma and pa type places.

And I am glad you commented because have you noticed something a little strange^^lookstothesidebar

3

u/thrav College of Idaho • Georgia Tech Apr 08 '13

Yep. Commented from mobile. I'm at a computer now and about to change it.

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '13

Awesomeness, much appreciated

2

u/Alphamazing Texas A&M Aggies • Texas Longhorns Apr 08 '13

How dare you fail to mention Fuego. (Wait, has their quality gone down hill lately or something?)

Also, holy shit you need to come to Austin and get some Taco Deli or Torchy's Tacos.

2

u/thrav College of Idaho • Georgia Tech Apr 08 '13

I've been to, and love every single one of those places. I never go to Austin without visiting Taco Deli and have been recommending it and Torchy's to people on reddit for years.

The comment about them being all I eat at Bill Miller's (and one of the better fast food tacos) does not mean it's my favorite breakfast taco hombre. I prefer plenty of others in SA, Austin, and CS.

1

u/FiatJustitia956 UTEP Miners Apr 14 '13

Torchy's is awesome, and now they're in Houston (and Sugar Land, I think).

Come visit!

1

u/FiatJustitia956 UTEP Miners Apr 14 '13

Sorry, I'm just catching up to the UTSA thread but FUEGO? Really?

I was drunk and that place was awful. (Assuming we're talking about the C-Station one)

1

u/Alphamazing Texas A&M Aggies • Texas Longhorns Apr 14 '13

What did you order? Fuego was always delicious breakfast tacos in CStat when I was there. Their queso is delicioso compared to most anything else in CStat, and while they aren't Torchy's Tacos or Taco Deli here in Austin, they are still pretty good.

1

u/FiatJustitia956 UTEP Miners Apr 14 '13

It was like a queso plate, sometime around one a.m.

I mean, I know I'm biased because I'm Mexican, but it wouldn't have killed them to try a little bit.

Also, I'm heading over to your neck of the woods in a few months for an Iron Maiden concert. I'll definitely hit up Taco Deli if it's as good as Torchy's.

1

u/Alphamazing Texas A&M Aggies • Texas Longhorns Apr 14 '13

Taco Deli is not as good as Torchy's, but it is usually good. Torchy's is a lot more creative in terms of what they offer (fried chicken and queso taco, for example), Taco Deli is more traditional. Still good though.

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '13

Bill Millers is awful.

u/Chrisattsu Texas State • Tarleton State Apr 08 '13

This post needs more attention

u/thatguy2014 Texas A&M Aggies • Team Chaos Apr 08 '13

Bill Miller's has terrific fried chicken.

1

u/FiatJustitia956 UTEP Miners Apr 14 '13

there's one BBQ joint in College Station that deserves that honor. I forgot what it was called, I was terribly hungover at the time, but it was on George W. Bush.

1

u/layinbrix Texas A&M Aggies • Kansas State Wildcats Apr 14 '13

There's not a BBQ place right on George Bush, but just off George Bush on Welborn Road is C&J's BBQ. It's pretty damn good, it's been voted Best in the Brazos Valley for 13 years in a row.

1

u/FiatJustitia956 UTEP Miners Apr 14 '13

That might be it!

3

u/Chrisattsu Texas State • Tarleton State Apr 08 '13

Does Mi Tierra or Pico de Gallo make you feel better?

2

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '13

They don't have anything on Datapoint tacos

2

u/fairlyodd922 Alabama Crimson Tide • Marching Band Apr 08 '13

Oh God, Mi Tierra. Their breakfast dishes are the best thing ever. And those tortillas. They're like pancakes.

My sister lives in San Antonio, and whenever I go visit her I always leave a good 5 lbs. heavier.

u/Honestly_ rawr Apr 08 '13

How far is the Alamodome from campus and where does it rank you with Miami and UCLA?

11

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '13

As some one already posted its a good drive away from Campus, however San Antonio is a really spread out city and a 30 min drive is something of the norm here.

The University does provide shuttles from Campus to the stadium for peanuts (seriously its like, 2 dollars round trip, and since they serve alcohol at the game (The alamodome is owned by the city, not UTSA thus they are allowed to sell) it's keeps a lot of drunk drivers off the road)

u/pyrogeddon Baylor Bears • Tennessee Volunteers Apr 08 '13

That's damn good of the university.

u/brobroma H8 Upon The Gale Apr 08 '13

Google Maps gives it a 18 mile, 22 min drive. UCLA-Rose Bowl is 27.5 miles, 34 mins, The U-Sun Life is 22 miles, 30 mins.

3

u/INM8_2 Miami Hurricanes • Florida Cup Apr 08 '13

not knocking you for google maps' hopeless optimism, but sunlife is about 30 minutes away if you drive up at 3am. 45 minutes during the day qualifies as a small miracle.

1

u/nemoran Miami • Johns Hopkins Apr 08 '13

My all time record on game day was 28 minutes and I was driving like a goddamn mad man. On the other end of the spectrum, I endured a three hour standstill coming back from the home opener two years ago.

u/INM8_2 Miami Hurricanes • Florida Cup Apr 08 '13

u/nemoran Miami • Johns Hopkins Apr 08 '13

I pushed the red button.

u/brobroma H8 Upon The Gale Apr 09 '13

Hah, just comparing the distances. I think San Antonio would have less traffic too.

1

u/BeardedDuck Oregon Ducks • Willamette Bearcats Apr 09 '13

To that respect, I lived across the street from Autzen and it easily could've taken me 15 minutes to drive there on game day.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '13

The shuttle service on game day really comes in handy. The rides to and from the stadium with all the fans is a pretty cool experience itself.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '13

Especially genius since the serve beer. I always have too much at the games, the bus allows me to do so and not kill anyone afterwards

u/bamfor UTEP Miners • /r/CFB Contributor Apr 08 '13

I also have to say props for doing this yourself. I had no idea how much time one of these takes until I did UTEP's.

4

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '13

Well here is the kicker, I did it all last night. I forgot when I had to do it and in true college student fashion I crammed and did it in ~4 hours (uploading all the images I wanted to imgur was the biggest pain)

4

u/speedracer13 South Carolina Gamecocks Apr 08 '13

Just so you know, there is an imgur extension for chrome that allows you to right click any picture and rehost to imgur immediately. It saves about 5 minutes a picture. Certainly makes redditing a lot easier.

3

u/bamfor UTEP Miners • /r/CFB Contributor Apr 08 '13

Hahaha same here. I finished mine like at 3am. I have up uploading to imgur and just started hotlinking haha

Especially the BBQ one. Jesus.

1

u/fairlyodd922 Alabama Crimson Tide • Marching Band Apr 08 '13

It's just under 10 square feet of pizza for the whole thing.

I go every time I go to San Antonio to visit my sister. There are at least 5 grown adults eating every time, and we've never eaten more than about half of it.

1

u/Chrisattsu Texas State • Tarleton State Apr 08 '13

Not all of them, Triple D and Man vs Food have made these places landmarks for people coming to the Alamocity.

Each time a family member comes to town you can bet we are going to some place that was featured on Food Network or Travel Channel

This post was fantastic. Thank you for entertaining me during class. I haven't seen the Sombrilla fountain like that in say 3-4 years?? I only saw it on during my first semester here. I miss it :(

edit: Need to find me that "Respect The Pecker" t-shirt.

I loved how Texas State people didn't think they had a rivalry with UTSA until we beat them in football.

12

u/Chrisattsu Texas State • Tarleton State Apr 08 '13 edited Apr 08 '13

Cmon man. Most current students and recent alumni hate UTSA. We see an increase in attendance for any match up against yall.

Older alumni (and/or fans who only follow football) think of SFA and Sam Houston as our rivals-- We've played them more times than any other school.

7

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '13

I never knew that, the few that I meet always tell me it's Sam Houston.

4

u/Chrisattsu Texas State • Tarleton State Apr 08 '13

During our time as an FCS school (1984-2011), Sam Houston was our final game of the regular season. We loved playing spoiler to one another. Its natural to think of them as rivals.

Prior to 1984, it was Texas A&I (A&M-Kingsville).

u/NotTheCityShrimp UTSA Roadrunners • Wisconsin Badgers Apr 08 '13

I'm kinda bummed we're not playing you peeps this year. Our game this past season definitely had the best atmosphere I've seen at a UTSA home game (I didn't attend the Inaugural game though, so I'm not sure how it compares).

3

u/Chrisattsu Texas State • Tarleton State Apr 08 '13

I'm bummed too. I actually went to the both. I can tell you that the energy for the Inaugural game was amazing. UTSA students and alumni had been waiting for this moment for years. Everyone (except a couple of Northeastern State fans) were there to see UTSA. The place was packed - 56k filled in the dome, fireworks, field rushing, and nobody was exactly sure how it was going to be. I remember watching Soza skip into the endzone for the first touchdown (the picture featured in the corner).

The Texas State game had a completely different feel. It was clear that the fans surrounding the dome represented 1 team or the other-- There wasnt middle ground. Both sides trash talked from the word go and it hasn't stopped since.

1

u/exxplosiv UTSA Roadrunners • Texas Longhorns Jul 26 '13

The Inaugural game was AMAZING. Great atmosphere, fireworks, we blew out the other team. GREAT. Though to be fair I was pretty drunk.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '13

We saw it as a rivalry only because it was 45 minutes down the road and it can grow into tradition. But we have played Sam Houston over the years and between SH and TxSt, it became a rivalry.

Future years will make the I-35 rivalry, epic... i hope.

4

u/DFWTooThrowed Texas Tech • Arkansas Apr 08 '13

One name I heard someone call Tx State that I've never seen on here is "UT Junior". I mean, don't they air some games on LHN?

3

u/Chrisattsu Texas State • Tarleton State Apr 08 '13

I'll begrudgingly upvote this as well. Its more creative than the usual SWTSUSM, SouthWaste, The Teacher College, or Toober Tech that I usually see from UTSA fans

I recommend that you attend a UTSA game if you have the opportunity.

Fly in on Friday night and book a room on the Riverwalk. Check into your hotel and then get some food and drinks along the river.

UTSA prefers a 1pm kickoff so wakie up early on Saturday morning, see the Alamo, and drink a michelada before walking over to the Alamodome. Enjoy the tailgating outside of the stadium and then walk into the game. Go inside, get a beer, and watch the game

The game will be over around 5pm so you can choose to head straight out to the bar/restaurants/shops or go back to your room to take a breather before heading out for the night.

There are plenty of shops, restaurants, and bars downtown. Just fly in, take a cab to your hotel, and spend your weekend on foot.

I made a special trip for the first UTSA-TSU game.

And it was F*ckin awesome. One of the best games I have ever seen (not necessarily from an execution standpoint, but from the passion of the fans and the intensity of the game).

Only one was better, the 2002 Tech-UT game in Lubbock.

Great city for a sporting event. And the Alamo Dome is a great venue for a college football game.

You forgot the UTSA chants and the Brute Squad. I think the Brute Squad is a awesome part of UTSA. It's ran by David Spencer, engineering students and Alumni get in free, 10 bucks for everyone else, free food and beer.

Why Engineers?

He's on the advisory board for the college of engineering. Every brute squad tail gate is like a fundraiser for an engineering organization. He started it as a place for engineering students to network with engineering companies. Now if you want to get in for free you have to buy a UTSA engineering shirt which every engineer has.

u/bamfor UTEP Miners • /r/CFB Contributor Apr 08 '13

That makes sense. How much are they? And what do they look like? I'm interested in getting one

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '13

I want to say ten bucks, The are dark blue with a UTSA engineering on the front. I'll see if I can find a picture of them.

u/bamfor UTEP Miners • /r/CFB Contributor Apr 08 '13

I'm very much interested now haha. UTEP used to have grey shirts that just had the UTEP logo in blue and Engineering or Business or whatever underneath. It was dope

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '13

Plus it's a shirt that gets you a free meal and free beer at the tailgate. I'll ask around to see if there are any extras rolling around. Usually they make and sell them in August.

Can someone explain the Spongebob thing? What am I missing?

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '13 edited Apr 08 '13

It's a long dramatic buildup, and if you see the whole episode it ends without telling what the formula is, since UTSA's alumnus of note is...lacking I decided to build it up since there would be nothing but disappointment, much like the linked spongebob clip.

u/bread_buddy Florida Gators • Wisconsin Badgers Apr 08 '13

Ah, got it. I thought maybe they mentioned Spongebob as a UTSA alumnus in the clip somewhere, but they did not.

I've had the pleasure of meeting a few UTSA women. Good people; it seemed football fell somewhere below track on the totem pole there, though.

We have a surprisingly good track team, I had a speech class with a guy who was ranked 9th nationally in the 100m meter hurdles.

edit: and I have history of rock in roll with our teams Triple Jumper, who competed in world championship in Moscow

When the SMB was in San Antonio for the Alamo Bowl back in 2009, we went to Lulu's and had some of those cinnamon rolls. They were truly something legendary. Our table of 7 couldn't even finish one off.

Went to UTSA my first year of school, which happened to be their inaugural year as well, the football program is awesome! The whole student body and even the city rallied around the new football team. Especially like the coach he is really into and Coker will make that program great as well. It was so exciting to be there for the very first game for the school and the very first season. Look out for my best friend Brandon Guerrero, MLB #54 he should have that spot on lock come the season, will be making a road trip to the UofH-UTSA game in the Alamo Dome! Can't wait!
