If we can't get back to the original point of the thread, I'll close it.

I hope it's Alabama State or another nearby team that travels well. If we can get 26,000 fans after a 3-9 season I'll be on cloud 9. Remember, we drew that number after a 4-8 season in '05 so anything's possible. We were installing the spread for the first time and whipped them 38-0 in our home opener. We should be installing a more polished version this go around. I think the home opener will have a good crowd regardless. New coaches have excitement back in the program.

I agree, but wish we could get something a little better than Alabama State.

I don't care if we play Paul Crewe and the Mean Machine, as long as there is an A** every 18 inches.

With the UAB MESS, we should be happy with any school we can get to come to Troy. This same thing happened to us when Iowa St backed out and got Cal-Poly. Crowd was PATHETIC. An in-state FCS school is our very best option. IMO, of course.

Hemi, I'm not sure if the judgemental comment was meant for me or not. I assure you, there was no intent to be judgemental on my part. I was simply expressing a desire to not play AL State based on the experiences I have personally had around the stadium and in the tailgating areas the last two times they came to TROY. For one to assess a situation and make a decision about whether or not he wishes to be in a similar situation again isn't being judgemental. That is, in my opinion, responsible decision making. I prefer we not play AL State. If, however, we do, I'll be there. Wasn't intended for you. I see nothing wrong with your post. My post was directed at the people referring to their own personal ghetto and "fans".

I like Samford, FAMU, even Jax St. I just want to see winning TROY football again.

They will bring a good crowd, one of my employees grand-son is their long snapper (great kid), one of my HS teamates and former Pittsburgh Steeler, Ernie Mills,is their WR coach and we could have a battle of the bands at half time.

I heard that it will be Alabama State. I hope it's not. The last 2 times we've played them, my wife and I had to walk through crowds of "fans" in which there was pushing and shoving, vulgar trash talk and high tension. Both times I've felt as if things could erupt at any second. In fact, the last time it occurred, we were only about 15 ft or so past the center of the crowd when the first punch was thrown. I've never encountered that at any other game and these are the only times I've ever felt unsafe at at TROY game....home or away. I don't enjoy being in situations that require me to keep my head "on a swivel". Hemi, I'm not sure if the judgemental comment was meant for me or not.

My post was directed at the people referring to their own personal ghetto and "fans". So what are you fellas suggesting when you refer to these people as quote "fans" of ASU ? I guess with names like Bubba and Hemi you have certain viewpoints of society. I get the other dude's reference of "personal ghetto", his suggestion is clear. No need for your innuendo here.
