Valdosta State is not a dump Was offered by them, took an official visit, left after two hours. Dorm there made Alumni Hall look like the Waldorf Astoria and the campus is hideous. Hated everything about it

I'm not saying that couldn't eventually happen. I just heard an interview the other day with the AD and he was asked about moving up in divisions. He was very clear that they were very happy at the D2 level and aren't looking to pursue division changes. He feels they are in a division that allows all sports, not just football, to compete for championships. It took and “act of Congress” to get them (UWF) into a football program. They resisted it for years. It makes sense that they are in no hurry to move up as SoAl was. They have a good baseball program and once had a good basketball program but the University has never embraced sports like other collages and universities usually do. The passion has not been there.

They can be a D2 Football Power. Only D2 program in the 3rd most talented football state in the country

With App taking care of business in the DGB 2nd quarter, It looks like the SBC could be 3-1 in bowls. Not bad. OOC wins are important.

Good day for us. Army beats SDSU and App St beats Toledo. Both should improve our ranking in the final poll.

Sunbelt east is 3-0 in bowls. 2018 should be fun. East is going to be a tough division.

True I was pulling for Tech and likely USF will be ahead of us but they did no look impressive at all. Only with 10 wins but beaten by a team with I think one pass and our rank as a rush defense team.

Another little interesting thing is my wife and I stayed in Mobile Thursday and Friday nites (yes went to parade etc) several App fans just told us they were glad not to have had played us this year. Kind of wished we could have.

So the Belt ends up 4-1 in bowls. Beats 3 of the remaining 4 "G5" conferences (2 of those wins against the Belt gone scared). THE TROY TROJANS ARE THE 11-2 CONFERENCE CHAMPS! THAT'S CLOUT BABY!!!!!

Frikin Ark St. Had to go and lose to the MUTS...

I love the fast paced offense several of these teams have run in the bowls. All seem to be successful running it. I thought that was our plan and hope we ultimately insert it sometimes rather than when we are behind and the clock is ticking!

More plays you run the more chances you have to score. That Milton kid IMO was the best player in football this year

Our 2-min offense was as advertised, but in playing to the strength of the roster, you had some power RBs that totted the rock pretty good...I only have an issue with that because I wanted to see a more aerial attack. Hindsight being 20-20, I can't be mad...

As I wrote earlier in the season, we are 11-2 with a win over LSU and I don't care what kind of plays we ran or how much time we took to run them. There are 110 or so teams in FBS football that would love to have had the season we did. If someone is going to GIVE me a new 4WD truck, I'm not going to complain about its color. I'm gonna be happy I have a new truck.
