Hope all of our Texans are having a great Friday! 💜 A special thanks to Isaac for the ride over to the Trogdon House. Along the way, Isaac even had to ask if I was pedaling back there! 😂 #TarletonState #BleedPurple

Leadership is defined not only by the positions we hold, but by the impact we make and the legacy we leave behind. Thank you to former Texas Lt. Gov. Ben Barnes, a proud Tarleton State alumnus, and U.S. District Judge Mark T. Pittman for joining us for the second installment of the President’s Speaker Series: Leaders & Legacy. Through their decades of public service, both leaders shared valuable perspectives on leadership, integrity and the responsibility of serving others. These conversations provide our students with meaningful insight as they consider the impact they hope to make in their own careers and communities. #TarletonState #BleedPurple

Introducing The Hundred-Mile Showdown, the official name of the historic football rivalry between @TarletonState and Abilene Christian University. Separated by roughly 100 miles, our universities share more than a century of competition and a tradition worth celebrating. There's nothing quite like game day in Stephenville, and Saturday promises another memorable chapter. Lets pack Memorial Stadium! #TarletonState #BleedPurple #RollTexans

1/ Good news for rural Texas health care. After months of delay, the feds approved nearly $12 billion in Medicaid funding for Texas hospitals and providers. Hospitals estimated the stall was costing them $27 million a day. That money now flows. gov.texas.gov/news/post/gove…

No changes to the undefeated list this week! Of the 50 college football teams in Texas, only three remain unbeaten as the purple trio of Hardin-Simmons, SFA, and Tarleton State enter November with perfect records!

Today, we planted more than a tree. We planted a symbol of possibility, discovery and the belief that our ambitions can reach far beyond the stars. It was an honor to welcome Apollo 16 astronaut Charlie Duke and his wife Dotty to @TarletonState for the dedication of our Moon Tree. May it inspire generations of Texans to dream boldly, pursue new discoveries and remember that while our roots are firmly planted in Texas, our future has no limits. 💜🌳 Link to read more: bit.ly/47QT9RW #TarletonState #BleedPurple

Tarleton State No. 1. Stephen F. Austin No. 2. Both 8 and 0. No two Texas schools had held the top two spots in the FCS poll in any week since 2007 before last week. Tarleton State reached No. 1 for the first time last week. via IronFootball.app @ironfbstats
