None of us get paid the amount of money necessary to make these decisions so just quick complaining like a bunch of whiny babies and move on with your lives!!!!! Just let the athletics department do as they will and not question. You couldn't care less about Troy sports. Boy you are writing a check you will never be able to cash. I worked with Troy athletics for 3.5 years and have been a supporter since i set foot on that beautiful campus.

I don't doubt that you worked in the athletics department from the things you've said. So far he is one of few that is actually interested in the best for our athletics.

I don't doubt that you worked in the athletics department from the things you've said. So far he is one of few that is actually interested in the best for our athletics. Please explain how playing Liberty is bad for our athletics! Also assure us that whatever evil you perceive playing them brings, that we have never played another team who has misbehaved in the eyes of some. This fan is much more concerned about beating Boise State, how we can get our softball team headed in the right direction, can Neil get the Men Of Troy to finish the deal this year, can Coach Cunningham sign who he needs to make last years ending was not a fluke but a trend, can the golf guys finish with a surge in the Regionals, will the new stadium additions improve recruiting and game experiences than I am about who Liberty chose to sign as AD. Now maybe I wouldn't be happy if WE signed him but that's THEIR problem, not ours. I can't imagine asking an Athletic Department to vet every schools AD's, Presidents or whomever is to be considered unacceptable prior to trying to set up games. Hey, the AD's may not even be there when the game is played so is it still a "tainted" game because he signed the contract? It's great that fans take a serious interest in Troy's moral approach to whatever but I just see it as a bit much to go to the extreme position of eliminating schools based on perceived wrong doings somewhere else and that is MY opinion! ( CAPS= emphasis (the quite type))!😆

We won 10 games last year, and to me that doesn't mean we should lower ourselves on who we sign a home and home with. As we become a better football program, that should encourage us to contact better schools.

My only problem with this is I haven't at all seen anything about a return trip(s) to Troy or that we would be paid.

That's only part of my problem. For us to have to go to a first year FBS Independent team to me is embarrassing. We should have listed some things we wanted out of it, and not just kept our mouth shut and take it. Our AD has very little interest in the best for our athletics, and is only interested in bringing his friends up from Southern Miss which is sad. We need people who truly bleed cardinal and black. I have a few questions for you: Besides the addition of Liberty to our schedule, what else has McClain done to make you think he doesn't have Troy in his best interest? What friends has he brought over from Southern Miss? You do realize we're playing at Coastal Carolina next year in their first year of FBS (who has a smaller stadium than Liberty), right? So why aren't you complaining about the game with CCU? You make no sense.

I haven't seen many positives coming from him, the only reason why we've been so successful in athletics is due to our student athletes and coaches. 3 people came from Southern Miss, which you probably don't know is where we hired him from. We can't help the CCU situation, it's conference mandated.

Alabama plays Chattanooga, Auburn plays SaMford, FSU plays College of Charleston, South Carolina plays Wofford, LSU plays Grambling and non of those are FBS schools so maybe we are doing what bigger schools do. Who plays who at their place first to me is completely academic. So many factors could go into that decision it seems the best thing to do is trust those who jobs it is to decide those things. I just don't want to be perceived as a school that takes a "we're better than you" attitude thus disrespecting those other coaches and players. I played at Troy and I've experienced that feeling from other schools. It sucks! We don't need to be known as one that does that. That fits U of South Alabama better than us me thinks! I'm through!

Liberty averaged 16,300 a game last season which I would be safe to say was better than ULM, Texas St., Idaho, NMSU, Coastal Carolina and I know better than FA who and FI who here in Florida. There is a lot of money behind that school and I welcome a home and away with them. Beautiful campus and facilities. Also in 2018 along with Troy...Old Dominion, North Texas and New Mexico St are playing them in Lynchburgh.

I think they are paying us to come. Don't know how much. That's probably the reason we are going. We need the cash!

If we played only teams that didnt have at least one scumbag on staff or on the team, there would be no one for us to play. Let it go Francis, it will be ok. That's only part of my problem. For us to have to go to a first year FBS Independent team to me is embarrassing. We should have listed some things we wanted out of it, and not just kept our mouth shut and take it. Our AD has very little interest in the best for our athletics, and is only interested in bringing his friends up from Southern Miss which is sad. We need people who truly bleed cardinal and black. So you were present when the deal was negotiated?

No, however, I am not making any claims that I know why or how it was done. To find out how it was done, simply go to TroyTrojans.com. Click sports, and select football. Once you've arrived at the football homepage, click schedule. Once you've reached the schedule screen, you will notice a clickable icon that has the past and future years listed. Click that and select 2018, once you've done that re-click and select 2021.

I kind of enjoy it.....but I also like CSpan, Grass growing, root canals, prostate exams, and rancid milk but who am I to step on the thrill of trying to one up another on moral authority or knowledge??? .....so hug and make up guys or this could go on until the season....but if you must may I suggest a duel , you know the whole 10 pace thing with witnesses....that will settle it....
