A unique sport invented right here in San Marcos is attracting attention every Sunday, causing students and local residents to skip the games on television to enjoy some live action.
Adam Holloway has more in this Bobcat Update.

For five seasons, fans have gathered in San Marcos on Sundays to watch unicycle football games. The Unicycle Football League, or U-F-L, consists of six teams and is played at the Farmer's Market off C-M Allen Parkway. Sunday the 26th the Unicychos (Uni-Psychos) faced a team called the Gnarwhals (Nar-Walls). Rookie member Lance Tschirhart (Sheer-Hart) explained how he got involved with the league.

The concrete lot the teams play on doesn't offer any cushion at all when a player goes down, but that doesn't stop these unicyclists from giving their all for this counter-cultural phenomenon.
The teams play rain or shine every Sunday with the help of sponsorships from local businesses and devoted fans. U-F-L member Marshall Holmes says the community is the driving force behind the U-F-L's success.

The rules of the game are basically the same as football, but everything must be done on the unicycle. The intensity of the game and the skill of the players have to be seen live to completely understand. Games continue through April 17th and will culminate with the championship game, called the Stupor Bowl. For Bobcat Update, I'm Adam Holloway.
