San Antonio lands UFL team

[Blake]

Meh? Dont care........I will be downtown tailgating having fun starting in 2011. Have a good evening.

of course you do. If you didnt, you wouldn't get so pissy when you respond.

[Blake]

Well, UTSATailgaters has "confirmed" that OK State, Kansas State, all three service academies, Houston, and SMU have all already come to an agreement to play UTSA (I don't know where, their phrasing is clunky and makes it sound like all have agreed to play either here, or home and home), and Baylor and TT were close to agreements, for 2013 or 2014.

While those aren't exactly top notch schools or top notch travelers, it's definitely a better class than UTEP or LA-Monroe.

Supposedly, there's been a lot of interest in playing UTSA, even here, because it's a top notch stadium and UTSA shouldn't be that big of a challenge for those schools in 2013 and 2014.

I looked around but did not see anything about any Big XII teams, service academies or anyone else coming to play utsa here in 2013.

I also wouldn't really hold my breath on anything the two dudes that run utsatailgaters.com say.

I'm not 100% sure and maybe lebomb can verify.... I believe one of them is bleedorangeandblue who was one of the morons that got the college sports forum shut down and got himself banned.

He also mentioned how I had better watch out because he has friends in the FBI. No lie.

[DMX7]

lol, well the FBI field office is pretty close to UTSA, so it's not impossible.

Kansas State, not OK State is going to be UTSA's 2013 home opener and it's going to be on ESPN. That's not just from tailgaters but from an inside source. I'll gladly wager that it's true.

Yeah, I remember the idiot that is "bleed."

And yeah, I put "confirmed" in quotes just because I don't have information on how reliable their information is.

But I believe Coker and/or Hickey have said there's been a lot of interest from FBS teams for home and homes.

[lebomb]

of course you do. If you didnt, you wouldn't get so pissy when you respond.

I try to control the anger issues.........I really dont care, but I just fire back defending myself and/or the school. Its all good.

Yeah Bleedorangeandblue is one of the guys that runs tailgaters............hey, he really is a cool, cool guy if you got to know him. He is no different than any other person that is passionate about their U, so please dont go there. Ive seen just about everyone on ST act an ass. Anyhow Bleed is a booster out at Utsa and does get the scoop on just about all athletics. He gets his information directly from the source. So, you actually can believe what they are saying on that sight.

[Blake]

lol, well the FBI field office is pretty close to UTSA, so it's not impossible.

I don't have any reason to doubt he has talked to FBI guys. I do doubt that I need to watch out for these guys.

Kansas State, not OK State is going to be UTSA's 2013 home opener and it's going to be on ESPN. That's not just from tailgaters but from an inside source. I'll gladly wager that it's true.

If it was confirmed on Feb 5th at utsatailgaters.com, then why are we here almost 3 weeks later with nothing official on anyone's websites?

Why does this also have to be a secret inside source?

There's an underlying assumption here by you guys that UTSA will be at FBS status in 2013. If UTSA is still FCS status, there is no way K State travels here.

[Blake]

I try to control the anger issues.........

uh, yeah......you should try to control anger issues. It's the internets.

[Blake]

He is no different than any other person that is passionate about their U, so please dont go there.

Yes, he is a different ass than everyone else on ST.

He complained and cryed about people bashing utsa, he called out kori in private messages using profanity and got himself banned.

Anyhow Bleed is a booster out at Utsa and does get the scoop on just about all athletics. He gets his information directly from the source. So, you actually can believe what they are saying on that sight.

He's made it no secret that he talks to the AD in the past, so why can't he now clearly explain how he has confirmed that K St is coming in 2013?

[CubanMustGo]

Can we please give the UTSA pissing and moaning a rest (both ways) before it gets out of hand again? This is a thread about SA and the UFL.

[lebomb]

Sorry man, I dont have all the answers really. But, I do know that Bleed knew Coker was selected as the coach at least a day before it was made public. He also knew who committed to Utsa before anyone else mentioned it, yet shortly afterwards it came out. Bleed regularly talks with the AD and the coaches as well as many in the athletic department, so Im pretty sure he gets a little inside information before most. *shrugs*

It turned because I said I would not support the UFL. I guess because Im soaked in orange and blue..........Utsa got drug into the conversation. *shrugs*

Please, feel free to discuss SA and the UFL. Nothing is stopping you.

There's an underlying assumption here by you guys that UTSA will be at FBS status in 2013. If UTSA is still FCS status, there is no way K State travels here.

Actually, that's not the assumption. It's is completely impossible for UTSA to be FBS by 2013, unless the NCAA rewrites the rulebook to make it easier (not bloody likely). The plan is for UTSA to begin it's 2 year reclassification period at 2013, which is also the first year they should count towards bowl eligibility for FBS teams (and therefore the first year any FBS team will schedule them anyway).

The assumption is FBS by 2015, though I think it'll take longer.

In UFL news, we've been told by UFL director of digital media Nation Hahn, that the expansion teams have not been chosen yet. Omaha, San Antonio, Austin, and Salt Lake City are all still in the running, and 2 of them will be chosen. Here's hoping for the smart choices of San Antonio and Salt Lake City to pan out...

[DMX7]

Agreed.

What website is it supposed to be on? UTSA's official website hasn't even announced the 2011 schedule but we already know many of the teams on it through one means or another.

Well... I can't speak for utsatailgaters because I don't know who runs it, but it has been very accurate so far. Regardless, I know K. State is on the schedule through a Known source to me but secret to most everyone else. He works for UTSA but I'm not going to get him into any trouble by revealing his name.

....UTSA will hold its first official practices this fall and begin play as a Football Championship Subdivision Independent (FCS/formerly Division I-AA) in 2011. The program plans to begin a reclassification period to become a Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS/formerly Division I-A) Independent in 2013.

me too, but I'll admit, it's not from lack of effort on utsa's part.

[Blake]

K State already has their 2013 schedule lined up except for the 4 non conference games which still show "TBA".

If it was officially confirmed that K St is coming, it really would not be that hard to find it elsewhere on the internet.

So far it's just utsatailgaters and your secret source that are confirming it.

............you are indeed correct, its not official till its publicly announced by either Utsa or Kstate.

[fyatuk]

Reread what you quoted. It clearly states they plan to begin the reclassification period in 2013. The reclassification period is 2 years (or until all the requirements are met, whichever is longer, or until they give up).

You are mischaracterizing their statement into an impossibility.

And why would you point out that K-State has 4 open non-conference dates for 2013 like it would be a good thing for your argument? UTSA would obviously fit into the non-conference schedule somewhere for them, of which K-State has posted none.

Not official, but not impossible either.

I noticed Oklahoma State, Baylor, and Houston havent posted non conf. schedules out that far either.

[DMX7]

Yes, nothing is official until both sides of the agreement state that the contract has been signed. I'm just posting what I believe based on a credible source. Again, I'd be willing to wager that it's right though.

Got it. They could have worded it better.

I looked up the current FBS plan that in the best case scenario would put them in the FBS as an indepedent in 2015.

What I'm curious about is if in 2013 playing utsa will count for an opponent as playing an FBS or FCS team. It may or may not make a difference.

I'm not making any argument. I'm just saying don't hold your breath if the only two sources of confirmation are from utsatailgaters and a secret source from dmx7.

Not impossible, not official either.

right, nobody has. That's my point.

Yeah, they wanted to stress the FBS, I'm sure.

Well, whether they count as FCS or FBS is irrelevant. They should be inelligible for FCS playoffs, inelligible for bowls, but count as an opponent for bowl eligibility of other teams during the reclassification period.

Ahhh. It's an exciting rumor, but rumors fall through all the time, so I'm personally not that worried about it one way or another. , even after the contract is sign the schedules can still change before the game is played.

I'm more interested in the 2011 opponents.

It's of some relevance to the opponent.

I'm interested in seeing 15,000 in attendance for the 2011 or 2012 opponents.
