On the Texas State side of the argument:
wish I had friends from #UTSA who i could talk trash to about #TXSTvsUTSA this weekend, but they all dropped out after their first semester.

UTSA is the type of school that people apply to when they don’t get accepted to their first 4 schools #TXSTvsUTSA

I played with some Legos today and UTSA offered me a degree in construction science. #TXSTvsUTSA

Maybe we should let #utsa win... San Marcos does have a flooding problem, and the tears from beating them might cause issues . #TXSTvsUTSA
