When I get ready to take in a TROY game, I climb in my car in Dothan and take off. Now I can travel up US 231 and get there just fine. If I choose, I can travel up US 431 to Abbeville, take SR 10 through Clio to Brundige, then go up 231 to Troy...or I can take 84 west to Enterprise, then 167 to Troy. Heck, I can even take I 10 to Moblie, take I 65 to Montgomery then take 231 to Troy. Some of these routes are more scenic and enjoyable than others, some faster and more efficient. When the dust settles, I'm in Troy, no natter what route I take, and that's what matters.
What at does this have to do with anything? When the season began, we had a destination (goal) in mind. We wanted to: 1) Have a winning season 2) Become bowl Eligible 3) Win the conference 4) Win said bowl game.
We've accomplished the first two and are well on our way to completing the trip. Now I don't care how we get there (as long as we do it within the rules) I don't care if we run the ball ball up the middle and off tackle 50 times a game. I don't care if we throw the ball around like the Rams did when they were known as The Greatest Show on Turf, I don't care if we throw 30 or even 40 bubble/ tunnel/WR screens a game. What I care iabout is we are winning ball games. We are 8-2 with a legitimate chance at being 11-2 by December 31. If getting there is pretty and exciting, great. If it's dirty, boring, and workmanlike, that's OK too. After all, I work for a living and there's nothing wrong with that. This is a football team, coaches and players included, that has found a way to win 80% of the games played this year and I'll sure not complain about the manner in which they've done it. As long as we win, I don't care how.

Yep that is the LSU game....tops it all off quite nicely!!!

To paraphrase: "I have neither the time,or the inclination, to explain myself to a message board, who rises and cheers under the blanket of the winning season that I provide, and then questions the manner, in which I provide it. I'd rather you just say 'Go Trojans' and go on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a football, and throw a pass. Either way, I don't give a damn, what you think you are entitled to!

But would not recommend your above statement at a Trojan Warrior meeting, to a booster or any fundraising event when you are asking for money.
