Well, let me tell ya somethin’ ’bout this here Sam vs. TXST game. It’s a big deal, ya know? Folks ’round here, they been talkin’ ’bout it for weeks. Football, it ain’t just a game, it’s like… well, it’s like the whole darn town breathin’ the same air, all at once.

Now, I ain’t no expert, mind you. Don’t know all them fancy words them sportscasters use. But I know what I see. And I see these two teams, Sam Houston and Texas State, they’re gonna go at it hammer and tongs. It’s gonna be a real slobberknocker, I tell ya!
They’re playin’ on Saturday, September 28th, that’s what I heard. And it’s gonna be down in Houston, at that big ol’ NRG Stadium. Heard tell it’s a fancy place, lots of lights and noise. Not like our little field back home, that’s for sure.
Some folks, they’re sayin’ Texas State is gonna win. They got some good players, I guess. But don’t count Sam Houston out, no sirree! They got grit, them boys do. They fight hard, like a cornered wildcat.
- Game Day: Saturday, September 28th
- Location: NRG Stadium, Houston
Now, I saw somethin’ ’bout odds and points and spreads and all that. Confuses the heck outta me, to be honest. But from what I gather, Sam Houston, they’re the underdog. Means folks don’t think they gonna win. But that just means they got somethin’ to prove, right? Nothin’ like a good underdog story, I always say.
And this here “over/under” thing… somethin’ ’bout 56 points? Lordy, that’s a lot of scorin’. Guess they’re expectin’ a real barn burner. I hope so, ’cause nothin’ worse than a boring game, ya know? I like it when them boys run and jump and tackle and whatnot. Makes it excitin’.

This here game, it ain’t just about football, though. It’s about pride, I reckon. Pride for your school, pride for your town. Folks get all riled up, paintin’ their faces, wearin’ their colors. It’s a sight to see, let me tell ya. Reminds me of the old days, when things were simpler. Just good, clean fun, and a whole lotta yellin’.
Texas State Bobcats versus the Sam Houston Bearkats. Sounds like a good ol’ fashioned showdown, doesn’t it? Like somethin’ out of a Western movie, but with footballs instead of six-shooters.
I heard some fellers talkin’ ’bout predictions and scores and all that. They were throwin’ around numbers and stats, tryin’ to figure out who’s gonna win. But honestly, nobody really knows for sure. That’s the beauty of it, ain’t it? The unexpected. The thrill of the unknown.
And you know what else? This game, it brings folks together. Families, friends, neighbors… they all come out to support their team. It’s like a big ol’ family reunion, only with more beer and less awkward small talk. And that’s a good thing, in my book.
So, yeah, this Sam vs. TXST game… it’s a big deal. It’s more than just a game. It’s about community, and spirit, and a good, old-fashioned competition. I’ll be watchin’, that’s for sure. Maybe even wearin’ a team shirt, if I can find one that fits. And I’ll be yellin’ my lungs out, whether I understand all the fancy rules or not. ‘Cause that’s what you do when your team’s playin’. You cheer ’em on, and you hope for the best. And maybe, just maybe, you get to see a little bit of magic happen on that field.

So, mark your calendars, folks. Saturday, September 28th. NRG Stadium in Houston. Sam Houston vs. Texas State. It’s gonna be one for the books, I tell ya! Gonna be a real humdinger!
