Entered Troy in 1986 and graduated 1990. Was blessed to have played football for Troy and now proudly have a daughter that's an alumni also. I also stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night Just missed you playing.....I will have a alumnus son after this year....I don't do Holiday inn expresses though. Congrats. It's a wonderful feeling seeing your child walk across the stage and become an Alumni. I fought back tears

Been going to Troy games since 89. Did a stint in the Navy and followed Troy via the awful internet on an amphibious ship in the pacific. How much do you donate to this school? You want to question my loyalty I'll take that challenge any time.Not going anywhere anytime soon. By the way, if we were still D2 I'd be at every game I could cheering just as hard.Have a feeling you'd be AWOL if this were the case Became a student and fan in 1990....have been In attendance at every home game since 1990 and season ticket holder since graduating from Troy in 1994.....have been to numerous away games over the years including the recent LSU victory and have been in attendance of every bowl game that Troy has been to including San Jose......How is that for loyalty? Entered Troy in 1986 and graduated 1990. Was blessed to have played football for Troy and now proudly have a daughter that's an alumni also. I also stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night Not sure who won the plastic trophy of worlds best Troy fan from these egocentric posts. Can we settle by whoever has the best looking wife or girlfriend or both?, or who has the biggest bankroll ?, or maybe some kind or point system ? Feats of strength?

Troy wouldn't beat UAB this year. You're saying all the old Sun Belt schools in C-USA wouldn't beat us either? Schools like MTSU have overtaken us. They are bigger schools with more money. I was proud when we used to beat them but those days are over. The Sun Belt is below any other conference except the MAC. We should concentrate on winning here. No way , Jose. It's all about fan base and ticket sales. Why do you think a very bad Tennessee team that goes 6-6 will get to a bigger bowl than say a 9-3 Troy? Money, Money, Money. I love Troy to death but we have to face the facts. I feel like you either don't pay attention to other conferences and their performances, or you have the idea that every single thing in football is rigged against the G5... granted, SOME things do keep G5 teams down that are unfair. To your point about Troy losing to teams like MTSU, WKU, etc... I find it hard to believe that WKU or MTSU would beat Troy this year, or even last year's team. And how do you figure they have more money from an athletics standpoint? Did you not notice last year that the Sun Belt received a $17-million payout at the end of the year, versus CUSA teams receiving just $13-million that had to be split between 14 schools. Each Sun Belt team received over $1.2-million, compared to CUSA teams getting $700,000 each. The SBC finished two spots ahead of CUSA in the final rankings. Did you hear about CUSA's paltry TV deal also? They've lost a few million dollars since the TV deal was renegotiated last year (since they lost their big-name teams like Houston, UCF, SMU, Memphis, etc). They are struggling to even get on national TV. They only have 4 total conference games shown on ESPN this year, while the Sun Belt has 9. There's a reason Old Dominion's AD has been hinting at a possible re-shuffle in CUSA. They are struggling for money more than you may realize. One last thing... the Cotton Bowl wouldn't get to decide if it takes a team like UCF over Troy. It's only about which G5 team wins their conference AND is the highest ranked G5 team in the CFP poll. If UCF or USF would've wound up with a loss, there's almost no doubt Troy would've been the highest ranked G5.

1. FBS is rigged until every conference champion gets a playoff spot 2. A former AD here had a very attractive wife

I have a story about the wife and/or girlfriend situation.
I'm a nurse and work in the recovery room. One thing we do when a patient arrives in recovery after surgery is call the waiting area and tell whomever is with with the patient that surgery is over and we give them an estimate of the amount of time the patient will be in recovery. Sometimes,a s people are waking up from anesthesia, they are awake enough to carry on a conversation but they really have no idea what the conversation is about, nor will they remember it later on. One day I had a guy who was waking up and was quite talkative. I told this guy that we had called the waiting room and talked to a female who was waiting and had given her an update. He asked me if it was his wife or his girlfriend and I told him I didn't know.
After about 20 minutes of talking to this jokester as he woke up, I was getting ready to to take him back to his room and decided to mess with him a little bit. I told him that I may have messed up. I told him that when he came out of surgery, we updated the lady who was with him. I then told him he had asked me if it was his wife or girlfriend. I said since I didn't know, I had called back, talked to her again and said he as asking if it was his wife or girlfriend we had spoken to. Then I said, with a very concerned look on my face, "Man, she didn't seem really happy with that question. I think I may have gotten you in trouble". All the color drained from his face, his eyes got about as big as saucers and he said "Dude, PLEASE tell me you didn't do that!". I assured him I was yanking his chain, we had a good a laugh and a I sent him on his way. Thankfully he as a good guy with a good sense of humor.
People don't often talk out of their head or say dumb things after anesthesia, but occasionally one does and a gem comes along. Just know that given a chance, your nurse is likely to mess with you.

#1. You really overestimate CUSA. From top to bottom, they are on the same level as the Sun Belt. Troy would be a Top 3 team in CUSA this year. Troy wouldn't beat UAB this year. You're saying all the old Sun Belt schools in C-USA wouldn't beat us either? Schools like MTSU have overtaken us. They are bigger schools with more money. I was proud when we used to beat them but those days are over. The Sun Belt is below any other conference except the MAC. We should concentrate on winning here. #2. If Troy had gone 12-0 this season, with wins over Boise State, LSU, Arkansas State, and an Akron team that may be bowling, then Troy has a HIGH chance of making it to the Cotton Bowl. The only teams that would be standing in the way currently would be UCF and USF. No way , Jose. It's all about fan base and ticket sales. Why do you think a very bad Tennessee team that goes 6-6 will get to a bigger bowl than say a 9-3 Troy? Money, Money, Money. I love Troy to death but we have to face the facts. I can't face the fact that Troy wouldn't beat UA's B or the MuTS this year, strictly your opinion.
