The Legend of Glurpo & TXST's First Bowl Game - Special Mini Episode

This month on Enlighten Me, we’re shining the light on what humans get out of our obsession with sports of all kinds, from looking at the re-invigorated fan culture at Texas State sparked by our football team's first bowl winning season, to the social and economic impact of sports fandom across our global culture, and how communities built around sports can be healthy for humans.

In this episode of Enlighten Me, we connect with TXST faculty to discuss the importance of mental, physical, and emotional well-being, especially as we enter the new year.  

In this episode we cover San Marcos' forgotten underwater clown and discuss TXST's first bowl game in program history against in-state rival Rice University.
