Well here is a chance for some of you to help bring in New fans (AKA more money for salary conscientious ).
For those of you that do not know "Trojan Café" is the new online community for enrolled students only under the Troy University umbrella that opened this year. I recently talked with their Director of Student Engagement named Amanda Smothers (ksmothers@troy.edu) about the Trojan Cafe. The Trojan Café has had 100 Tickets per home game donated for the remainder of the football season to them to distribute. It seems they will be distributed to the ETroy students /or/ student families that have never seen a Troy Game and would like to attend. I told her I would spread the word that if any of you Alums/fans will be tailgating and like to extend these New Trojan attendees a invite to come by for some southern hospitality. IF interested I think you can email (Amanda) at ksmothers@troy.edu and extend an offer for an interested new comer. My understanding is this would be an informal invitation that would be shared to those new comers that inquire about tailgating.
Also a side note for those of you that have a business (like say Jones Medical does Trojan Cups ect...) Amanda can give away Trojan gear in contest to the 24k+ students. That would be like free advertising to give away that Jones Medical Trojan Cup to people that have never been to a game. Who knows maybe that girl that recently won a contest from Alabama that was attending Troy thru Etroy (she is mobility challenged) may need something from Jones Medical.
Anyway Trojan Café is also on facebook even though most activity takes place in Blackboard for students only. I am glad to see our university is finally implementing the "1 and all University" to encourage the students away from Troy tobecome more engaged. Things like Trojan Café are spreading the Trojan nation further than I ever thought possible when I was there.
