[TechAlum05]

It's Homecoming Week. It's Louisiana Tech's first week in the BCS Top 25 ever. Time for another football game. This time, Louisiana Tech faces UTSA, a current WAC foe and a C-USA foe in 2013. Without further ado...

The Top Ten Things You Didn't Know about University of Texas at San Antonio

10. In 2010, UTSA officials called the San Antonio Police Department to report a huge group of cows running loose on the campus. Law enforcement arrived on the scene and discovered that the "huge group of loose cows" was actually all the female students at UTSA.

9. UTSA and Texas State face off against each other in the I-35 Maroon/Orange Rivalry. This is the rivalry series people attended when they couldn't afford tickets to the Texas A&M-Texas games.

8. Like Tulane University, UTSA plays its football games inside a domed stadium. Unlike Tulane, there are people in the stands during UTSA's home football games.

7. It took UTSA 12 months to move from the WAC to Conference USA. It took Louisiana Tech 12 years. 84% of regular BBB posters blame Reneau for the long wait.

6. UTSA filed a restraining order against San Antonio Spurs mascot, The Coyote, after the mascot was spotted setting up booby traps and smuggling Acme explosives into the stadium before UTSA's football games.

5. Despite being part of the University of Texas System, UTSA has promised its students and alumni they would never host a tailgate party for the University of Texas Longhorns. After all, what university would be stupid enough to do something like that?

4. UTSA has famous alumni like sports reporter/overall hottie Michelle Beadle and...actually, that's it.

3. The fanatics in the student section for the UTSA football games in the Alamodome are known as the Cokeheads in honor of Head Coach Larry Coker, so the students say.

2. Confusion erupted in 2009 when some Hispanic students showed up to the UTSA Fencing team tryouts with 21-foot ladders, wire cutters, and a getaway truck.

1. Starting this year, UTSA's "Rowdy Rally" will include the marching band chasing the Roadrunners mascot, Rowdy, through the Pasco. UTSA tried to have the football team chase the mascot during last year's pep rallies, but none of the players could keep up with the mascot.

I nearly woke up my wife laughing at #2. That was FANTASTIC.

I told my wife #2 and she didn't get it. I don't know why I wasted my time sharing it with her. She went to lsu and So.Miss and I should have known that she isn't smart enough to get the joke.
