RIO GRANDE VALLEY – The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) Department of Intercollegiate Athletics and KRGV Channel 5 announced on Monday plans to air two weekly shows surrounding UTRGV football – Vaqueros Game Day, a College Game Day type show that will air from 10 to 11 a.m. before every home football game live from Schlotzsky’s Vaquero Village at the UTRGV Fieldhouse, and the UTRGV Football Coach’s Show every Sunday at 10:30 p.m. throughout football season.
 
Vaqueros Game Day
 
Vaqueros Game Day, which will be hosted by the KRGV Channel 5 Sports team, will include segments that look at that week’s matchup, feature local student-athletes and coaches that were “made in the 956,” highlight the unsung gridiron heroes making football work behind the scenes, and more.
 
The show will also include contests for UTRGV students. Fans are encouraged to attend each show to help bring the game day energy.

“KRGV’s coverage with these two shows will further enhance the incredible amount of attention being placed on our football program and University,” UTRGV Senior Vice President and Director of Athletics Chasse Conque said. “Vaqueros Game Day is a truly unique venture, as most schools hope to get College Game Day and similar shows to their campus once every few years. We’re now in a position to bring that atmosphere to our fans before every home game.”
 
UTRGV Football Coach’s Show
 
Each week, Channel 5 Sports Director KJ Doyle will sit down for an interview with UTRGV head coach Travis Bush to discuss the previous night’s game and what’s ahead for the Vaqueros.
 
The first episode will air on Aug. 24 as a season preview ahead of UTRGV’s inaugural game against Sul Ross State on Aug. 30. The coach’s show will then air weekly for at least 14 weeks through Nov. 23, covering all 12 regular season games and the bye week.
 
“It’s an exciting time for the Rio Grande Valley. We are thrilled to bring our viewers in-depth coverage of this inaugural season with the launch of Vaqueros Game Day and the UTRGV Football Coach’s Show,” KRGV General Manager John Kittleman said. “KRGV is proud to be an official media sponsor of UTRGV Athletics.”
