SAN ANTONIO — UTSA Athletics and Playfly Sports’ UTSA Sports Properties have announced that Little Woodrow’s Braun will host the official UTSA Watch Party for the SERVPRO First Responder Bowl on Friday, Dec. 26.
UTSA fans who cannot make the trip to Dallas are invited out to Little Woodrow’s Braun (9840 W Loop 1604 N) to cheer on the Roadrunners in their sixth straight and seventh overall bowl appearance. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. and the sound from the TV broadcast will be on inside the restaurant. There also will be bucket drink specials and tasty eats. Please note that Little Woodrow’s customers must be 21 years of age for entry after 7 p.m.
Under the direction of sixth-year head coach Jeff Traylor, the Roadrunners will make their second appearance in the SERVPRO First Responder Bowl, as they also played in the game in 2020. UTSA won two of its last three games to close out this regular season with a 6-6 overall record, including a 4-4 mark in the American Conference.
FIU will enter the bowl game at 7-5 overall. The Panthers are riding a four-game winning streak that helped them finish 5-3 in Conference USA.
The Roadrunners will travel to Dallas in search of their third straight bowl win. Last December, UTSA raced past Coastal Carolina, 44-15, in the Myrtle Beach Bowl in Conway, South Carolina, to improve to 2-4 all-time in bowl games. In 2023, the Roadrunners defeated Marshall, 35-17, in the Frisco Bowl for the program’s first-ever bowl victory.
