Great exposure for the school and program. DENVER — A few months ago, a retired college football coach decided the time had finally come.
Larry Blakeney had never visited an NFL training camp, nearly five decades coming and going as he paced some sideline in Alabama. But he had an old friend to go see before it was too late. Blakeney had, for the previous 24 years, been the head coach at Troy University, that tiny but overachieving school in southeast Alabama. Maybe no player had been more important during that time than DeMarcus Ware, the Denver Broncos’ star defender who’s 11th in NFL history with 134 1/2 career sacks.READ MORE HERE

We had a big article in our paper here in Cent FL on the speech Demarcus Ware gave the team before they played the Patriots. According to his teamates it was " Epic, and a speech for the ages". What a great representative for Troy

D Ware is the man. Period.
Why his face is not plastered all over Veterans Stadium wearing his Troy uniform proudly I'll never know. Wait, maybe we should put up a banner of him. Sure I have seen that idea somewhere......

What a wonderful article. It will be awesome when DWare gets inducted into the NFL HOF in a few years. What a class act and a great ambassador for TROY U! Hope Coach is able to attend that ceremony, I know how proud he must be!!!
Go TROY!

Hope Coach is able to attend that ceremony, I know how proud he must be!!! Go TROY! Hopefully he is inducted into the HOF. That is one trip I will make. I was born in Akron and have been to the hall and HOF game. It would be a once in a lifetime event to wear our Troy gear as he is inducted

Great advertising for them. Maybe we need to send DeMarcus a few Troy shirts even if we have to share it with his contracted brand!:-)
