Are You Ready For Some Football?

Consider these two stories side by side:

Flynt, 59, making comeback with Sul Ross State University

UTSA moves closer to adding football

I'm an alumni of UTSA and a current grad school student. In light of the above seemingly unrelated stories, I can't help but believe that in three years I'll be suiting up for the Roadrunners. It's inevitable.

The only question remaining is how long will the University of Texas at Austin dodge a currently undefeated and very mighty, mighty UTSA Roadrunner football program? I suspect it'll be 25 years before UT plays UTSA.

Here are my predictions about the UTSA program:

1. We will beat UT 100-0 every single time.
2. UT quarterbacks will cry after each and every game played against UTSA.
3. Bevo will make some good BBQ.
4. UTSA wins a national title before UT does it again.
5. Major Applewhite will edit his own Wikipedia article so that it says he attended and played for UTSA instead of UT.
6. UT fans will forget Texas A&M exists.
7. The mayor of Austin, Leslie Cochran will try to trade UT for UTSA. The mayor of San Antonio, Chuck Norris, will decline.
8. After UT's first loss to UTSA, Bobby Layne will spin around in his grave with such alacrity that the entire cemetery he's in will burn to the ground (tombstones and all).
9. Due to the shock of it all, Ricky Williams' mental facilities will be radically changed so that he begins to think clearly.
10. The quality of UT cheerleaders will take a dive. They will start to look like this.
11. UTSA will get all the overachievers that usually go to Texas Tech and Tech will be forced to start playing players made entirely out of sand and tumbleweeds.
12. ESPN will stop showing UTSA games because UTSA never loses and people are bored of seeing it.
13. UTSA will become "America's Team".
14. UTSA will have to change its mascot to something more awesome and widespread, something like hydrogen.
15. Bear Bryant will come out of retirement to coach UTSA. His ghost will call plays from UTSA's sidelines for two or three hundred years.
16. UTSA will never kick an extra point or convert a two point conversion (trying not to run up the score will be a constant point of concern for UTSA coaches).
17. UTSA professors will genetically engineer a human sized roadrunner mascot to entertain the crowd with crazy and amazing antics.
18. Heisman trophies will fill the UTSA Sombria. A second Sombria will be built nearby.
19. UTSA will occasionally play two or three games per week.
20. Roadrunner fans will tear down opposing teams' goalposts on the road after every single road game and bring them back to UTSA and make a huge pile that will be visible from the surface of the moon.

22. UTSA will play some games blindfolded just to increase the challenge of it all.
