Game close to sell out

[bobcatfan06]

Looks like it will be another sell out at the Wack (Jim Wacker Field at Bobcat Stadium) in San Marcos. Man, it is going to be awesome game.

Any of you guys who are making the trip, be safe, don't freeze, and come have some warm "adult" beverages at the bobcatfans.com tent.

BTW, nice site you guys have.

Is that Jim Wacker also the same head coach of the Minnesota Golden Gophers a few years ago?

Yes it is the same Jim Wacker. After he coached us to two national D-2 championships he went to TCU and then to Minnesota (I think in that order but I may have it reversed). He then returned to Texas State as athletic director for a few years before dying unexpectedly of cancer I believe a couple of years ago.

Yep, you got it right. Jim Wacker is a legend in San Marcos. On our EndZone Complex, there is a Society of Champions and Jim's name is the only name in it. The Wacker Magic is alive and well in San Marcos, baby.

That's pretty cool. I wonder what his "legacy" is up there in gooferland.
