San Antonio Gunslingers
The San Antonio Gunslingers were a professional American football team based in San Antonio, Texas that played in the USFL in 1984 and 1985. Rick Neuheisel was the team's quarterback and only recognizable name. The team played in Alamo Stadium. The team was owned by oil magnate Clinton Manges and team colors were kelly green, royal blue, silver and white.
==History==
The USFL decided it had to expand to 18 teams for the 1984 season to get more capital. However, efforts to award teams to Minneapolis-St. Paul and Seattle fell through. A series of studies of possible new cities concluded that San Antonio could not support a USFL team. Although San Antonio had surged to become the 10th-largest city in the United States, it has always been a medium-sized market because the surrounding area isn't much larger than the city proper. However, a heavy sales pitch by oilman Manges, plus the desire to give the Houston Gamblers a rival, persuaded the owners to give a franchise to San Antonio.
Despite his oil fortune, Manges didn't make an initial capital investment (as is standard for most major league sports franchises). Rather, he appeared to pay team expenses out-of-pocket as they arose. Until the league ordered them to move, team offices were located in a double-wide trailer in the Alamo Stadium parking lot.
Manges hired local coaching legend Gil Steinke to run the team. In 23 years at nearby Texas A&I, Steinke had a record of 195-63-5, including a 6-1 record in NAIA Championship games. In a league with freespending owners, Steinke's Gunslingers rarely had the edge in talent but most games were very disciplined on the field, allowing them to remain competitive on a shoestring budget.
