I see two main types of alums I disagree with. The ones who abanon Troy the day after graduation, and those who think we should join the SEC. Support Troy for who we are and try to be SEC level or higher in the classroom.

GoTroyGo.....you are hilarious .....I don't know many alums that think Troy should join the sec......news flash to you...Troy doesn't have to be in the SEC to defeat Sec level schools and Troy doesn't have to be in the SEC to produce SEC caliber talent or teams...Troy does more with less then any D1 team in the country. That is what is great about Troy

We don't have that. Their water bottles are flavored with Zatarans and you get a free pound of crawfish with every 10th purchase at the general store.

Our coach is the 2nd highest paid in the SBC behind hudsbeth who makes over a million (big waste of money there)
So there's plenty of school that do more with less than we do

As much as the SunBelt blows reputation wise, it is a good fit for TROY. Geographically and competition wise, I dont see us going anywhere soon.

ULM's endowment is $23 million compared to $85 million here. They have a 1-AA title we don't. Blakeney had more than enough opportunity to win at least one title. We lost a playoff game as the 1 seed to 16 seed Georgia Southern. I was there, and trust me, my Dad has never been more angry after a football game. I'm sure cane gone trojan can remind us of how that game transpired. I'm also sure he can tell us how that game relates to our poor defense during some years of the Blakeney era. I missed all games from 92-94 , In England in the Air Force. In the Navy From 2001-2004 , I was on the USS Essex in the Western Pacific. When I was stationed at Pensacola, I was a regular attendee. I hope I am forgiven for the times I was in the middle of the ocean trying to watch the games on ESPN shipboard, or when I was on liberty in places like Pohang Korea. When I was in England, I never flew back for a game, I guess that questions my loyalty during those years.

Belittle Troy? By pointing out things I disagree with? Maybe I wouldn't care either way what division of athletics we are in as long as we won a vast majority of games? Do I hate Troy by wishing we keep improving academics?? Been giving to the Troy University Foundation for 20 plus years.I guess I hate Troy because I just increased my bank draft to the Troy University Foundation. Please enlighten me how I don't love this institution. I can name hundreds of people I know who can attest to my devotion to Troy. I served with General Givhan when he was at Air University, do you know who he is? Maybe we'll run into one another one day and we can continue this dicussion. Lot of things I'll take but saying I have hatred for Troy University is a bald face lie. I apologize to the administrator of this board, but I can't take these comments lying down.

He said the pass hit him dead in the chest. We should have kicked a field goal anyway. I used to think my Dad got upset when Emory and Henry lost. That game blew our chance at a title. We were #1 in the nation.

I appreciate that you were out there at the tip of the spear. My 20 years was mostly in personnel/ admin. They have this deal in the navy where the ship pulls in and you get to go out in town. One of the best parts of being a sailor. Glad to be able to chat with you here. Wouldn't have the freedom to disagree sometimes on the message board without men like you.

The 1993 Troy team is arguably the greatest team ever. Kelvin Simmons was the best to ever play at Troy and should be in the HOF. Put him in the spread and he would put up numbers that would blow your mind. Yet the 1993 team fell short of a title also. It seemed we always found a way to come up short in the playoffs.

We got to the semis twice should have added at least one more for the video board 1995? Where we lost to GA Southern was a blown opportunity. Rowell went on to make a soup sandwich of our defense. Koenning is doing a fine job now. I saw Simmons in a game at liberty trying to remember the year. Guy I knew in the dorms Antjuan Marsh was a fullback on that team

'95 hurt, and it still does when, I think about what coulda/shoulda been. For all that though, that loss could be explained. A bad decision was made on a questionable play call and it cost us a chance at a championship. The one that really sticks in my craw though, is the '96 loss to Montana. While '95 can be analyzed and explained, there is no explanation available for what happened in '96. The memories of that game will always haunt me. We could not have played worse football than we did that day.
