Likely the lowest attended #TXST home game this season but significantly more than games around Thanksgiving break in years past. The week before and after TG are always rough on attendance since students are sent home.

“Best DL coach in the country.” - Will Windham on new #TXST DL coach Chris Gistorb. Said the DL is going to create a lot of excitement in 2026. The Bobcats’ offense is bringing back plenty of high-powered production but the defense is generating heaps of buzz this spring.

Great #TXST crowd tonight:

GJ Kinne on signing La’Keyleon Graves, #TXST’s 1st 4-star signee in program history, “He can play linebacker, safety, WR - he can do it all… Top 5 player in the state.” Sold him on being the “Pac-12 Travis Hunter” with the Bobcats. Kinne felt a wave relief signing him today.

Fine, twist my arm. I’ll go get it from the archives:
