news@paisano-online.com UTSA students who visit the Recreation Wellness Center and peer out the rear window dreaming of a working pool can rest easy.

Those dreams are scheduled to come true by Spring Break of 2016 when a new $4.48 million pool will have its grand opening.

Plagued with a myriad of problems, the original pool closed over two years ago.

“Since I’ve been here the rec pool has been closed,” stated rec center frequenter Frank Nguyen. “Even the now reopened fountain had been closed until only re-

cently. Maybe there’s just something with UTSA and water.”

Nguyen might be right.

In November 2011, SpawGlass, the contractors hired to construct the original pool, ceased repairs because the company did not believe they were responsible for its structural integrity. SpawGlass withdrew after several unpaid repair jobs for the university.

When repairs stopped and forced the pool’s closure, UTSA announced plans to initiate legal proceedings, which are still under discussion. According to UTSA Facilities Project Coordinator John Perez, the proceedings have no bearing on the construction of the rec center’s new pool.

Due to the visible lull in

DegreeWorks brings the utility of advisers to student computers UTSA Samantha Casas Contributing Writer

news@paisano-online.com UTSA’s new online DegreeWorks program promises to help students track the progress of their degrees. The university introduced the program this semester as part of the UTSA academic advising system overhaul.

According to Executive Director of Advising Barbara Smith, there are two main sections of the DegreeWorks website — ac-

cessible via a link under the Student Services tab of ASAP. The first section is the planner component, which allows students to work with their adviser to develop a personalized semester-by-semester degree plan that advisers approve and access 24/7.

Smith hopes that having a personalized semesterby-semester plan will afford students a better understanding of course sequencing and allow them to plan and register for courses, add and drop classes and See ONLINE, page 2

construction, questions and concerns about the status of the pool have accumulated among students; as a result, Perez is familiar with student inquires about the rec center’s pool.

“Since I am assigned to this project I answer most questions related to the new pool project,” said Perez.

Perez also explained that “The new pool’s construction has a start date of March 2015 and an end date of February 2016.”

There will be two bodies of water – a leisure pool and a lap pool.

Perez, working with Rec Center Director Laura Munroe, ensures that, “the end product will be constructed in a manner that will please the student body.”

JoAnn Browning is a people person. She’s good at bringing people together, which is exactly what she plans on doing as the new dean of UTSA’s College of Engineering.

“I just really love talking to people,” said Browning.

“At first it’s scary, right — going to someone and saying, ‘Tell me what all your problems are.’ But if you approach it from the way of, ‘I’m not going to take this personally; I need to hear what your problems are so we can make you more successful,’ it’s actually very enjoyable.”

Browning’s charisma has served her well throughout her career, according to Provost John H. Frederick.

“Dr. Browning has great experience as a researcher and an administrator, a strong commitment to student success and, most importantly, a track record of collaboration and consensusbuilding,” said Frederick.

Forge: R.G Box shares his life and artistic viewpoint Online: DegreeWorks allows UTSA students

Marcus Connolly / The Paisano

to plan their degree without an adviser

R.G. Box signs autographs with his wife, Jamie.

From Page 1

The gallery on his website is filled with pictures of projects from every stage of his life: a 1927 Ford Roadster he worked on in high school, an oil drilling rig he worked when employed by an oil company, a house he built for his family in Del Norte, Colo. and of course, all of his blacksmith projects. However, his blacksmithing work is surprisingly recent.

In fact, Box didn’t start blacksmithing until 2000, a few years after he had retired. “I always liked that old ‘Village Blacksmith’ poem by Longfellow,” Box said of his inspiration to become a blacksmith.

In 2006, Box decided to take his craft further. Reading online about The Forgery School of Blacksmithing in New Mexico, and with Longfellow’s poem in mind, Box made the decision to commit entirely to blacksmithing.

Since the school wasn’t currently offering classes, Box first focused on buying his equipment, some of which was over 100 years old.

“That’s what happens when you buy used,” Box joked. He admitted he wanted older equipment so his smithy would feel “more

like a blacksmith shop.”

By the time he was able to attend blacksmith school in Moriarty, New Mexico, he had already finished his first few blacksmith projects. Not long long after his time in blacksmith school, he was featured in an episode of the Texas Country Reporter, which is where UTSA’s Associate Athletics Director Jim Goodman heard that Box wanted to create a roadrunner statue.

Box had no promise of pay for his work when Goodman first contacted him about making “Rowdy,” but he explained that is usually how commissioned work goes.

“I pay endless money for this stuff,” Box said, “but that’s okay. It’s fun to make it.”

Box does all his work by commission nowadays, but he explained that the extra expense is worth it to have the freedom to design his work.

“He just draws and figures and dreams about it at night,” said his wife, Janie.

“He wakes up during the night and figures it out as he goes.”

Planning “Rowdy” required just a little bit more work than usual. Before starting the sculpture, Box studied many pictures of roadrunners, including

ones that he took of roadrunners living on his property, and visited Dr. Nancy McIntyre, the Curator of Birds at Texas Tech University, to learn more about roadrunners.

Box was able to create “Rowdy” by displaying a picture of a roadrunner at six times it’s actual size on the wall of his smithy using an overhead projector.

He then drew it onto cardboard, and from there, he made steel ribs “just like you’ve got.”

Afterwards, he covered “Rowdy” with a steel skin and attached 1,000 feathers, each of them meticulously textured. Finally, he switched to brass for the eyes to achieve the yellow color of the eyes of a roadrunner.

After he finished the statue, Box delivered it to San Antonio where he attended UTSA’s pep rally and football game.

“All of those students and football players. They all went by and petted ‘Rowdy’,” Box said, describing his favorite memory from the trip. “Most of them said something. I have no idea what they said, but that was really neat.”

After Box’s experiences with UTSA, he and his wife have become Roadrunners.

“It feels like we’re UTSA people,” Janie explained.

“We live in Lubbock and I graduated from Tech, but our loyalty is for UTSA.” Currently, Box is working on a plaque to go with “Rowdy.” He hasn’t decided what it should say yet, but that’s understandable, considering his wish for “Rowdy.”

“I hope he’s there forever,” 1206965_12889 he said. “I think he will be.”

Dean: UTSA College of Engineering appoints progressive new dean From Page 1

Browning left her position as co-president with the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES), where she was repeatedly recognized by her peers, to join UTSA’s ranks.

Serving as the University of Kansas’ associate dean of administration and professor of civil engineering, she was twice awarded the university’s Miller Award for Distinguished and Professional Service. She was also the 2012 recipient of the Henry E. Gould award for Distinguished Service to Undergraduate Education.

Browning is the second female dean for UTSA. “I think when female engineers — just young women in general, really — see other role models, it becomes something they

can see themselves in,” said Browning.

“We’re all individuals.

But there have been studies to show that women many times have a more difficult time believing in themselves, especially in the sciences. It’s easier to look at your flaws and say, ‘I didn’t do good enough,’ or ‘I’m not good enough to make it any futher.’ Then, when you see who has made it, are still able to balance other parts of their life and not give up who they are because they have made it? Then I think that can make a difference in their lives, and that’s what I’m hopeful for.”

For now, Browning states three goals: growth, increased focus on students’ success and expanding her colleges’s research and development. “I’m also looking at a new department

perhaps. New programs for sure,” Browning said.

Browning is optimistic about her new life at UTSA. “What I love about UTSA is that when I got here, it already felt like family. Everyone was very supportive and very sensitive to what my needs were. I really think it’s going to work out well,” Browning said.

“I think when female engineers see other role models, it becomes something they can see themselves in.

On the landing page of the worksheets section, student users can track their progress on a timeline as well as consult a list of required classes. A key and disclaimer, which warns that the online evaluation is not an official degree evaluation, can be found at the bottom of the webpage.

The first worksheet in the section is the ‘What-If’ worksheet, which gives a student the ability to do a ‘what-if’ analysis if they are undecided or considering changing majors. Smith explained that the worksheet enables students to see where their credits hours would apply and what they have left to complete for each major.

The second worksheet, ‘Look Ahead,’ allows students to select courses and see how that course could

City Councilman Ron Nirenberg (District 8) spoke about UTSA’s development and influence on San Antonio, and The Paisano’s integral role in facilitating student communication.

President Ricardo Romo and mentioned The Paisano’s accomplishments.

UTSA Architecture Professor Rick Lewis spoke about the building’s design.

It was Professor Rick Lewis’ graduate architecture class who designed the building collaborating with editors to determine what was needed for the building, while staying within The Paisano’s operational budget.

Last to speak was Kierra Jones from the KIPP Aspire Academy. The Paisano works with the 8th grade

newspaper class to advise students on how to design and write for their paper, The Archer. Paisano editors create the layout and design of The Archer, which is paid for by the UTSA Writing Program.

Jones spoke about how producing a newspaper has taught her students to think critically and inspired them to take initiative in other aspects of their lives.

For example, the program is not compatible with course catalogs before 2010.

Additionally, students with more than one major, like political science and psychology double major Anthony Mendoza, have experienced errors such as courses being applied to the wrong degree plan.

“DegreeWorks is defi-

nitely useful, but until errors have been fixed, I would still rely on a course catalog rather than the new program to check whether I have completed my degree requirements accurately,” said Mendoza.

While some have not had the best experience, others find the site quite useful.

Electrical engineering major and freshman, Ramon Ruiz, uses the program and highly recommends it to other students.

“I liked that it very clearly shows what your plan should be and where you fall on it and the pace at which it should take you to finish,” said Ruiz. “You can tell what you need to do to be on time.”

Ruiz plans to use the link again whenever he meets with his adviser. “If you don’t have an idea of what classes you should be taking right now, I would recommend going there not as a replacement to visiting your adviser, but more of a guideline,” he said.

Editorial

Textbook proposal promises to uneducate students For anyone wondering if Texas public schools’ history textbooks could be any more controversial, the answer is yes — and they just might be for the next decade. This November, members of the State Board of Education (SBOE) will vote on new textbooks for Texas public schools that promise to teach children a distorted image of history and discourage critical analysis of American government.

The Texas Freedom Network (TFN), a nonprofit watchdog group formed to protect religious freedom, defend civil liberties and strengthen public schools, published a report that found major flaws in the textbook content. The TFN Education Fund asked 10 scholars to review the proposed texts for historical inaccuracies.

While many of the texts were factually accurate, most exaggerated events or left out crucial information, which could greatly alter a student’s understanding.

Textual bias includes, but is

not limited to, an inaccurate portrayal of Muslims as violent, an implied significance of the Ten Commandments in the American constitution and a downplay of racial segregation.

The proposed textbooks also leave out accounts of Native American suffering and promote the work of missionaries working to convert the New World. Of course, the fact that many of these natives were forcefully converted and forced to lose their culture receives no mention.

How could such biased textbooks be considered in the first place?

The proposed textbooks must meet regulations established by the SBOE. Publishers must choose between comprehensive historical accounts and meeting strict SBOE standards.

Dr. David Brockman from Southern Methodist University was on the TFN panel to review the proposed texts.

“The option was to give the SBOE what it wants to hear,

instead of sticking to what is historically sound,” he said in a TFN press release. “Sadly, some publishers have done the former in certain instances.”

With publishers looking at million-dollar contracts with the state of Texas, it’s easy to understand why they might be willing to forgo accuracy in the name of profit. Pearson, a publishing company with offices based in San Antonio, provides educational materials to Texas public schools, including UTSA. Students might recognize the name from the cover of their overpriced graduate school test study books as well as their online MyLab programs.

A report by the State Auditor’s Office in 2013 revealed that Pearson’s contract with the state of Texas totaled $462 million.

Other publishers whose content was found to be controversial included Discover Education, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, McGrawHill School Education, So-

cial Studies School Service, WorldView Software, Edmentum and Cengage Learning.

These textbook publishers, however, aren’t solely to blame. The strict guidelines established by the SBOE seem to be politically motivated, rather than concerned with historical accuracy.

Of the 140 members appointed to SBOE panels, only three are current faculty members at a Texas college or university. Many educators from institutions such as Southern Methodist University and UT Austin applied but were rejected.

One person appointed to the board was Mark Keough, a retired car salesman with a degree in theology who runs a ministry in the same district as Chair of the SBOE Barbara Cargill.

If these proposed textbooks are approved for publication this fall, they could be in classrooms for the next decade. That means a decade of misinformed children with

an inaccurate understanding of this nation’s history.

When did Texas schools become so unreliable? Public school systems seem more concerned with indoctrination than critical thinking.

After all, if your education doesn’t change you, then it has failed you.

In our society, where profits seem to be the driving motivational factor, we’ve lost the integrity that comes with shaping young, impressionable minds.

With a highly politicized SBOE that seems likely to approve this round of textbooks, reformation seems impossible.

The best thing concerned Texas citizens can do is actively participate in the system that elects those in charge of children’s future.

As one of the states with the lowest voter turnout, Texas needs to step it up this election cycle and tell the Legislature that this is one state that can’t be messed with.

Commentary

Cultural numbness: The effect of social media

Early Monday mor ning , drivers were surprised to find that traffic was redirected from the UTSA Boulevard bridge crossing Interstate 10. A man, described to be in his early twenties, threatened to jump from the 14-foot bridge if police violated his personal space. For the better part of an hour the man threw objects onto Interstate 10, causing considerable traffic delays.

On social media, reaction to the delays was swift, callous and inconsiderate.

“Bridge clearance there is about 14 feet,” wrote one

Facebook user. “Should go to IH10 and 410 entrance bridge, now that’s suicide.”

“What the … ?” wrote a UTSA student. “I was late to school ‘cause of this inconsiderate jerk … not the place to jump off of either.”

Hundreds of online Facebook users “liked” these comments.

According to SanAntonio. gov’s most recent Health Profile, in 2010 suicide in Bexar County was the fourth leading cause of death for those aged 15-24. Moreover, suicide is the fourth leading cause for those aged 25-44 years.

Suicide occurred 116 times among males and 46 times among females.

Social media has created a culture that has made peo-

ple numb, curious and insensitive — even to suicide.

During a recent National Public Radio talk show focusing on the murders of American journalists by ISIS, one caller described Americans as calloused voyeurs.

One need look no further than Facebook, Instagram or Twitter to realize the depth of some people’s insatiable appetite for horrific videos or pictures.

Social media is a beneficial medium but can also be a negative one. We cannot change what people think — and shouldn’t try — but we should and can control what we say.

Apart from offering healthy options for the consumer and providing a revenue to local farms, a portion of the profits go directly to local non-profit organizations. The Christian Hope Resource Center (CHRC), a non-profit organization that provides food and other resources to those in need, is a major benefactor of sales made at Truckin’ Tomato. It is through this partnership that customers can “eat healthy and support a good cause,” Barrera said.

Muslim Student Association kicks off the semester Kate Kramer Intern

arts@paisano-online.com Taking a look around campus will confirm one thing: UTSA’s student population is diverse.

Many different religions, cultures and values are represented by a range of student groups.

The Muslim Student Association (MSA) is one of those groups. They aim their goals toward three sub-groups: non-Muslims, Muslims, and the San Antonio community.

For non-Muslims, MSA strives to spread awareness and eliminate stereotypes about Islam. To accomplish this, weekly tabling events are held around campus where information pamphlets are passed out and peaceful conversations are struck up with students who are passing by.

Other events, like Islamic Awareness Week, which aims to foster interfaith dialogue, are held throughout the year. During these events, MSA works to engage the student population and stresses the importance of setting aside differences while respecting others’ beliefs.

Islamic Awareness Week also provides an opportunity for MSA to educate and inform students about different aspects of the Muslim faith.

For Muslims, MSA provides a social and religious environment on campus.

Muslim students who aren’t always able to dedicate a time or place to pray may find one MSA opportunity valuable.

“We have a Friday prayer service every week in the UC, meant to be convenient to students who don’t have the accommodations to make it to a local mosque or who don’t have time to leave campus between classes,” MSA president Ahmad Kaki said.

Aside from that, MSA also holds biweekly open floor discussions after their general meetings and hosts educational speakers from out of town and local speakers who lecture on campus about a variety of subjects.

For the broader San Antonio community, MSA is a service organization.

“Last year, we volunteered at a local start-up called Feed the Need, where we helped make lunch bags, bags filled with hygiene products and passed them out downtown,” Kaki said.

Doing monthly volunteer work with different organizations is something MSA strives for. From the Ronald McDonald House to Habitat for Humanity, MSA works to serve the needs of the organizations and help the community. MSA also participates in charity fundraisers.

“Last year,” Kaki said, “we were able to raise $800 for a charity dedicated to helping out refugees in war-torn Syria.”

During Islamic Awareness Week last year, the MSA talked about women in Islam, the relationship between Islam and other monotheistic faiths and the relationship between the Quran and modern science.

This year, the MSA plans to close Islamic Awareness Week with an event on Sharia Law: what it means to Muslims and what it means to everyone in the United States. Interested students can look forward to that sometime in November.

What do you get when you combine head-shaking beats, insanely catchy lyrics and five guys from Craigslist? The Austin band, Quiet Company.

The band played at the UTSA Main Campus on Sept. 3. The free event was hosted by UC Programs, who even provided pizza during the intermission.

Quiet Company – comprised of Taylor Muse (singer/songwriter, guitar), Tommy Blank (guitar, keys), Matt Parmenter (bass), Evan Smoker (drums), and Bill Gryta (keys, synths) – has won over 10 Austin Music Awards, five of which are for their album “We Are All Where We Belong.”

Their new album, “Transgressor,” came out earlier this year, and according to lead singer Taylor Muse, is “all over the place. It’s less “concept-y” and has more relationship songs, but in a little bit different way.”

Inspired by bands such as Weezer, Radiohead and Smashing Pumpkins, Quiet Company has the indierock vibe under control.

The solid guitar riffs and en-

ergetic drums balance out the clever lyrics, making you wish you had the band’s originality.

The band has had a pretty exciting touring experience.

“On our first tour, we played this club in Rockford, Ill. that wasn’t even open yet,” Muse comments. “By the end of it, the lights had gone out, and they paid us ten dollars in quarters and three loaves of bread.” Can you say “horrible experience”?

They never faltered and their music is better than ever. They’ve even earned a coveted spot in the lineup at Austin City Limits and South By Southwest.

If you’re looking for something new and exciting to listen to, Quiet Company is definitely a go-to. At first, you may want to keep this rare gem your little secret, but once you hear them (and inevitably become obsessed with them), there is no way you’ll be able to keep them to yourself.

So plug in your headphones, download their music, and prepare to invest yourself in an absolutely outstanding band.

Q&A: Students weigh-in on UTSA’s rising football program

Q: Could you tell me about your interest in our school’s athletics?

A: “I like football games a lot.”

Q: What is it that you like about the football games?

A: “The band. I love the band, the entrance and everything.”

Q: Before you knew about the band what was it that initially drew you to the football games?

A: “I wanted to get involved and meet new people, and I thought that football games were a great way to feel part of the community at UTSA.” Q: How do you feel about

man. I mean, you just have to go to a football game.

“The football games are fun to go to, but I actually got arrested at the first one for rushing the field. That wasn’t cool.”

Q: So you had a good time?

A: Yeah, I had a good time. I was pretty messed up. All good fun until I got arrested at the end!”

Q: What did you see at the games that other people would probably enjoy as well?

A: “The fact that it’s in the Alamodome is pretty cool.

I’ve gone to other college games and they were fun and all, but you’re sitting there screaming the whole time, and even standing up, and it’s hot as hell.

“At the Alamodome, it’s nice that you can sit there and chill and tailgate a little before the games.”

Following Tanner’s endorsement of UTSA’s football team, John, a senior studying international business, also had positive remarks to say about the program: Q: How much of an interest do you have in UTSA athletics?

A: “I don’t keep up with it too much, but I think football is what I keep up with the most.”

Q: Have you ever been to a UTSA football game?

A: “I’ve been to a couple. I go whenever I get a chance to. I initially wanted to go

because they just started out.

“In Texas, football is generally the more preferred sport, and there is always that sense of community when you go to the games and everybody is rallying for UTSA. It’s always interesting — the energy, the atmosphere, everybody rooting for the same team. It’s a good time.”

Q: Is UTSA your favorite college football program?

A: “UT is my favorite team. I’ve always gone to their games growing up. All around they just seem like Texas’ team.”

Q: Could you see UTSA becoming your favorite team? Or “Texas’ team”?

A: “Oh yeah. I’m already a pretty big fan of theirs, too. The tradition is only going to continue to grow.”

To finish the Paisano’s interviews, Natalie, a second year student with an undecided major, elaborated on the idea of UTSA’s growing tradition: Q: If you could go to one sporting event, which one would you go to?

A: “I’d probably go to a soccer game because my

father was a big soccer fan and he would take me to watch games. I always had a good experience.”

Q: If you were going to choose a soccer match to go to, would you rather attend a men’s or women’s soccer match?

A: “I’ve only ever been to a men’s game, but I would go to a women’s soccer game.”

UTSA prides itself on its up- and-coming sports program, but how much do students really know about the university’s athletics?

The Paisano took to the campus to ask students to share their experiences with the program.

First, we spoke with Alejandra, a sophomore biomedical engineering major:

women’s athletics here?

A: “I feel they are very underrepresented. The biggest thing about UTSA is the football team.

“I don’t really hear about women’s athletics at all.

I think incorporating the women’s athletics into the student newspaper would be a good way to spread the word.”

Q: So how do you feel about our school colors and mascot?

A: “I love the orange and blue colors, honestly. Orange is my favorite color so maybe that is a part of it, but I love the combination of colors.

It’s very vibrant and the colors are really well coordinated. I feel like they are friendly and inviting. Also, I like the roadrunner. It’s different and very friendly.”

After an interview with Alejandra, the Paisano met with Tanner, an outgoing senior construction management major: Q: What was your experience with UTSA athletics?

A: “I went to the first football game UTSA ever held when I was a fresh-

Q: What do you think could be done to get women’s sports the same recognition as men’s at UTSA? A: “It’ll just take promotion and time. That goes for UTSA as a whole, men included. We have good programs. It’ll just take time. “ The time is now for UTSA students to support the school’s athletic program as it continues to grow in talent and tradition.

Is football ready to go bowling this fall?

UTSA FOOTBALL Robert Allen Contributing Writer sports@paisano-online.com UTSA has entered this season with some swagger.

Equipped with brand new helmets, complete with matte paint and chrome facemasks, the Roadrunners already look the part of an elite team.

After upsetting Houston in week one and nearly beating Arizona in week two, there is no doubt that the excitement around UTSA football is at an all time high. But if that is not enough to get you pumped for the remainder of the season, keep this in mind: the Roadrunners are now eligible to participate in a postseason bowl game.

When UTSA’s football program was initially introduced in 2011, they entered as an independent Football Champion-

ship Subdivision (FCS) school.

Since then, UTSA has spent two years reclassifying themselves as a Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) school, spending 2012 in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) and last year in Conference USA. In early August, the NCAA gave UTSA the green light to complete its reclassification and finally become a fully bowl eligible FBS school, joining the ranks of schools such as Oklahoma State, Baylor and Kansas State. The Roadrunners have finally made it into the big leagues.

Conference USA has nine different bowl affiliations within the NCAA, all of which would make for interesting end-ofthe-season trips. Bowl games, such as the Heart of Dallas Bowl, the Miami Beach Bowl or even the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl, are all possible destinations for

the Roadrunners this December. Opponents for these games include schools from the Big Ten, Big XII, Mountain West and American Athletic Conferences.

Unfortunately, history is not exactly on the Runners’ side when it comes to success after reclassifying to FBS. Between 1978 and 2010, 19 different FCS schools have made the switch to FBS. According to a study done by the NCAA, the average winning percentage of those 19 schools have dropped from 55.7 percent playing as a FCS school to 44.8 percent as a FBS school. An increased level of competition can account for this trend.

So, with opponents such as New Mexico, Louisiana Tech and Rice all scheduled for this season, the 2014-2015 campaign is not going to be a cakewalk by any means. But that

does not mean bowl eligibility is not attainable. To be considered for a bowl game, a team only has to win six of their 12 scheduled games.

Three games into the season, the Runners defense is on pace to become the best in UTSA’s short history.

The offense, led by senior quarterback Tucker Carter, looks poised to put together some amazing drives and make some big plays with senior running back David Glasco II. Besides intelligent coaching and stellar play on the field, one component remains to push UTSA into postseason bowl stardom: the student body.

Schools that are regularly bowl eligible, like Florida State or LSU, have a great following and a dedicated fan base.

The Alamodome already has the resources and potential to become the loudest stadium in

the conference and one of the toughest places to play, but the Runners will not be able to do it without the help of the student body.

Entering this season being fully bowl eligible and having earned a victory in their first game of the season, the only hurdle standing in the way of the Runners being considered for a bowl game this season is five more wins.

To help prepare students for the possibility of a bowl game, UTSA is encouraging students to wear spiffy, orange “Bowl Tie” bow ties on game days. You can purchase a UTSA Bowl Tie at the Roadrunner Express, the Alamodome or the student tailgate area on game days.

The UTSA Roadrunners (12) will not play in the Alamodome until Oct. 4, when they host the New Mexico Lobos (0-2).

All day, UTSA Men’s Tennis The Roadrunners take the court again in the St. Mary’s Quad Invitational in San Antonio.

5:00 pm, UTSA Volleyball The Roadrunners will face the Baylor Bears in their final match of the UTSA Classic.

Roadrunners on the Road UTSA Football The UTSA Roadrunners (12) fell to the Oklahoma State Cowboys (2-1) Saturday, Sept.

13, at Boon Pickens Stadium.

Outgunned and falling 24-3 at the half, the Roadrunners’ tried their best to keep up with OSU’s high-octane offense.

Senior quarterback Tucker Carter struggled to keep drives alive—completing only eight for 15 through the air, and rushing for eight yards. After a few hard hits, Carter was benched.

Head Coach Larry Coker decided to throw in true freshman Blake Bogenschutz to see what the kid could do. Bogenschutz would score the Roadrunners’ only touchdown before UTSA fell 43-13.
