It's A Party: Texas State Fans Reportedly Drink Their Side Of The Stadium Dry At First Responders Bowl In Dallas Against Rice

Texas State fans weren't messing around in their first bowl appearance on Tuesday night in the Dallas area. The Bobcats were facing Rice in the SERVPRO First Responder Bowl at SMU's stadium, and it sounds like stadium reps weren't prepared for the hydration practices from fans.

Making their first ever appearance in a bowl game, Texas State fans made the trek to Dallas in full force, taking up their side of the stadium. To be honest, this should've been expected, as Bobcat fans are known to take down some frosty beverages.

But it doesn't sound like First Responder Bowl reps were prepared for the amount of celebrating Texas State fans were preparing for.

According to a number of media outlets and fans, the Bobcats side of the stadium sold-out of alcohol before the first half ended. This sent fans to the opposite side of Gerald J. Ford stadium to collect any extra beverages that weren't being bought by Rice fans.

Carter Yates of 'Dave Campbell Texas Football' summed up the atmosphere, along with a communications problem for both teams.

This is certainly a great problem to have when it comes finances. Not only did the Bobcats win their first bowl game, Texas State fans drank the entire stadium dry in the process, with a little help from the Rice contingent.

But, running out of beer before halftime is a rough situation for fans looking to continue their holiday celebration.
