San Marcos came up just short Friday night.

Texas State was unable to pull off a near 16 point comeback as the Bobcats fell to the Troy Trojans 9285.

Texas State signed 10 players to their 2024 football recruiting class as the Bobcats prepare for spring practice following a historic 8-5 season.

Last week and next week are two of the worst weeks for runners. Last week the temperatures were in the single digits and below with the wind chill factor included. Dressing to stay warm in this cold weather is a difficult task. If you dress to be warm as you step out the door you will need to shed a jacket after the first mile as you will be too warm. If you dress to be comfortable after the first mile, you will be cold in that first mile. With a wind chill, a nylon jacket is nice to stop the wind from getting through. A runner can buy an expensive running suit for cold weather but a warm shirt and nylon jacket can work as a substitute for most runners. The advantage of a running suit is that it has a vent to let the buildup of the body heat evaporate. This is an advantage in the event a runner enters a race and has to wait around for an award ceremony. Without the vent the shirt that is worn next to the body often becomes damp from sweat. Standing around on a cold day with a damp shirt next to the body is a very chilling experience. Many experienced runners bring an extra set of clothes to change into after a run. The dry shirt feels much better while waiting for their award from the race. This often includes a warmer jacket to wear while standing around visiting with the runners.

In front of a packed house at Strahan Arena, Texas State was unable to capture the win as the Bobcats fell to the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns 86-68.

Much like any college sporting event, it’s student involvement that can energize a stadium or an arena to add a little extra oopmh.
