We lost. Clemson lost. Washington State is about to lose. This week has to be cursed! Friday the 13th week and all.
By the way... watching WSU's offense is fun because they kind of look like us. Their OL allows sacks just like us... more even.

They should look like us. Or we should look like them. Or something like that. There's a connection there for sure.

Except none of them lost to a team whose only win was over a glorified high school No, but Clemon, Washington State, and Oklahoma (don't forget, they are the engine on this upset train), lost to weaker, underdog teams IN THEIR CONFERENCE, just like us. 'Cuse didn't lose to a "glorified high school team", but they lost to MTSU (who many on here think less of than a HS team) and LSU, who we beat. In addition, we aren't the defending National Champs. I want us to progress to the point we are consistently viewed as giant killers, but the reality is we are not now, nor will we in my lifetime be, a nationally ELITE football program. Sunbelt conference mates :: TROY as ACC conference mates :: Clemson. All of these losses are more similar than different.

Except none of them lost to a team whose only win was over a glorified high school I don't understand putting down an opponent that beat your team. "Glorified high school" is a pretty sad comment, in my opinion. Just my theory, but I firmly believe Joey Jones put every bit of effort he had into this game. Not a typical game week prep, but off season as well. He wanted the Troy job, never got a shot at it, got embarrassed on his home field last season and had a chance to "shock the world" and prove a point on national TV. The stars aligned and they were the better team that night.

The hate for South Alabama better intensify. We are tied 3-3 with those fools and they have only been playing football for a minute. I consider them less than Jax State but obviously that is what most folks think because we let these bowtie wearing nobodies spank us on national tv on the reg.

Thinking about this rivalry, it seems a little too perfect. Each school busses a bunch of students to watch their team be victorious on the road. Keep the rivalry tied up... Play it on Wednesday to get the tv audience. I'm calling shenanigans. There is no way we don't desTROY those fools. There was some kind of back room deal made a few years back. So Bam must be delivering stacks of cash to Troy. This is all part of their football development plan.

I hope this debacle doesn't go completely to waste and we get to keep Neal for another season, especially considering what we have returning on offense next year.
