Pride & Traditions

The Gold Standard
Our "Gold Standard" is you, THE FANS and FORMER PLAYERS. Texas State is known for having the best student-athletes, events, programs and fans in the Southland Conference. We have established a standard that is golden and we owe that to you. Every time you support Texas State Athletics whether financially, emotionally or physically by returning to your alma mater you provide the energy our current student-athletes and department need to further establish Texas State as one of the best in the country.

We want you, FANS and FORMER ATHLETES to not just be boosters or alumni. The one thing we all have in common is a great love for this university and the student-athletes who continue to be the role models of this fine institution. You are our 6th man, 12th man and final piece that will make this program great for years to come. We need you, we want you - - THE FAN!

"GO BOBCATS!"

Go Bobcats all the way,
Keep that maroon and gold on high!

Fight on for every play
until you hear that Bobcat battle cry!

We're gonna cheer for our team today
Until the whole world knows our name,

No doubt about it
We're gonna shout it?
Bobcats will win this game!

"RED TURRETS"

O, Alma Mater, set upon the green hills,
With turrets pointing upward to the sky,
We yield to thee our love and our devotion;
Mother of hopes and aspirations high.

Thy feet are bathed by clear and crystal waters,
Fair river flowing gently to the sea;
Thy hills are crowned with ancient oak and laurel
Fit emblems they of strength and victory.

Thy walls can tell of struggles and temptations,
Hard honest toil, and eager restless strife;
Hopes, smiles and tears, and radiant youthful friendships,
And all that makes for brave and earnest life.

Dear mother, ours, should effort be successful,
Ambitions crowned with glory or renown,
We turn to thee with reverence and affection,
Thine is the conquest, thine the victor's crown.

Thy spirit urges us to deeds of valor,
Raising the fallen, cheering the oppressed.
