You never get respect but what can you do? Winning is the only thing we can control. So if we can win out we can at least prove our victory wasn't a fluke and this team is for real.

If we win and do it next year and the next then they will begin the respect....until then we just need to win and kind of hope LSU turns it around a bit

You know what I thought was kind of cute? First understand I'm a TROY grad - i.e. I was in school during our tremendous run 2006-2010. So the Jax State rivalry pre-dates my fandom, but I was reading up on it last night and how saying "Whup Troy" is still a saying at Jax State. I think it would be so much fun to renew that rivalry in football but, just like Alabama wouldn't want to schedule us, I don't think we have anything to gain if and until Jax State moves to FBS. Anyway, reading up on the rivalry led me to their message board where they were talking about the LSU game, calling us Troy State, but I think there was a grudging respect to it for the big win. Somebody on there said, "well we beat a team that DRESSES like LSU" - talking about Tennessee Tech. There's some great history there - I wonder if I can find any old game footage from those games - I hear the fans also got really into it. Anyway, more to the point of the thread - totally agree - TROY has a history of punching above its weight but right now we're also heavier than we have been in a long time, if not ever. I saw one LSU fan lament losing to a "second-rate football team" but right now I'd say we're one of the best Group of Five programs and have a great chance to further hone that reputation.

Embrace it! I will take this over being over hyped any day of the week! Keep your head down and move forward. Continuing to win takes care of all of those things!
It reminds me of my elevator ride on Sunday morning at the Marriott. I stepped in the elevator and there was a man and his wife who were LSU fans. After exchanging pleasantries he said "congrats". I followed that with a very humble "I appreciate it." Then he had a little addition..." so tell me, there's no way you guys expected to win that game!? I mean, you might of wished!? But now way you expected! to win!!?" I simply bit my lip and nodded my head with a smile. I could have given him every reason as to why had a good chance of winning that game coming in and how we truly believed we could pull this off! But at the end of the day I would have just been wasting my breathe!
Go Trojans and cry HAVOC!!

Ahh.. the memories from the Jacksonville State Prison days. Pure, undisciplined hate. The fans openly expressed their hatred for one another as did the teams and bands as well. I can still remember their band flipping off Troy fans as as beer cans and cups of bourbon rained down on them. No need to renew the rivalry though. We got paroled from the old Gulf South Conference and moved on. They moved up a level but they're still Jax State, and that's never a good thing

We just beat LSU at their place and we already have home games vs NC State, Miss St and Boise State in place. We shouldn't even discuss teams like UAB, Jax St, etc here...why should we play them? Our new rival is South Al and maybe Southern Miss (we all recruit the same players)

Oh it has been a glorious day! I have been working *cough *cough and watching the LSU fans melt on their boards. We not only won the football game but we wrecked their spirit. They are ready to burn it all down. I hope they go to the swamp and get a win. I hope they win the rest of the way (except against my alma mater).
Guys this win has knocked the earth slightly off its orbit.

We had an LSU fan on the shuttle back tell us we wouldn't have won without that extra two seconds, but we kindly reminded him of all the missed calls against LSU that helped them attempt a come back. He didn't say anything after that.
Glad to finally win against the SEC refs, too.

First down so clock is suppose to stop no matter what someone from LSU thinks! One guy blamed Flakes for “a dirty hit below the knees to get their QB out of the game”! Clearly a good hit well above the waist. They are just sore losers and they can’t rationalize losing to little ol’ us and I LOVE IT!
