Texas State's G.J. Kinne and school president fulfill promise, jump into river after securing bowl eligibility
Texas State coach G.J. Kinne and president Kelly Damphousse fulfilled a promise by jumping into the San Marcos River after the Bobcats reached bowl eligibility with a dominant win over Georgia Southern. This marks the first time Texas State has qualified for the postseason since 2014. The river jump is a tradition at the university, and players and others joined in the celebration. The Bobcats, led by star running back Ismail Mahdi and quarterback TJ Finley, have reached six wins for the first time in nearly a decade, and they are expected to easily secure their first bowl game appearance.
