I think we should call it something other than a “money game.” We’ve already proven that narrative wrong.

Thank you fbschedules.com for helping keep us informed of future games. You join many others, including President Trump, being the first to let us know.

So, nice little home road trip for da Buzz and Mrs Buzz (she is not from there but they all like her to visit.)

Curious as to what they are paying us? Stadium only seats 53,000 which is big but not on the level of our typical money games

I don't mind playing Kansas State at all (In fact I would like to play more BIG12 and BIG10 teams, incl. schools like Iowa, Iowa State, Oklahoma State, TCU, etc) but this game should be a home-and-home series. Teams like Boise St, NC State, Mississippi St (twice), Duke, Memphis, Navy, Southern Miss, Oklahoma State, Missouri, etc come to play here, so why not Kansas State?
In the past Kansas State played at
- UTSA (2015) - North Texas (2010) - Louisiana (2009) - and Marshall, Southern Miss, etc
Looks like they only schedule 2-for-1's though, something we don't really want to do anymore.

Two for ones are a losing deal. Kansas St coming to Troy isn’t going to draw nearly as much attention as Boise St. It wouldn’t bring out many casual fans except the Lightyear family friends.

So you would argue that hosting Boise State generates more excitement than teams like Kansas St, NC State, Iowa St, etc? I am sure some G5 opponents with regional implications might generate more interest (hosting Memphis for instance) but I am not sure about Boise State vs P5 schools such as NC State or potentially Kansas State. I think casual fan interest levels are more or less comparable in this case.

Boise St is more well known and has accomplished more than those three schools combined. Boise St since 2002 has had eleven top 25 finishes. The three schools combined you mentioned have eight. People will come to see Boise st because it will be their only trip to Alabama in the near future. I assure you Bama and Auburn won’t be scheduling them.

Most AD’s for programs like Troy schedule for position, money, ticket sales, program recognition and sometimes convenience, not to get set up for defeated schedule. If that was true, we would be scheduling Eastern Michigan, Old Dominion, New Mexico State instead of South Carolina, Mississippi Stateand Florida

Not a defeated season. A winnable money game that could lead to an undefeated season and a spot in a New Years bowl game. That leads to money, ticket sales, and program recognition. Stop trying to stunt the growth of the program.

Stop trying to stunt the growth of the program. We know you didn’t go to Troy but we assume in a New Brockton they still teach basic math. You try to connect dots that don’t even exist. An undefeated season is the #1 goal for the team and fans. Not the #1 goal of the AD in scheduling. Again if the AD is scheduling toward your goal why schedule Boise State. He would have scheduled Old Dominion. Common sense is lacking in your argument.

Surely I have your permission to be a Troy fan even without meeting your prerequisites? Why don’t you and I get together with Jeremy next weekend and discuss his vision and scheduling philosophy. Of course he’s not the one that scheduled Boise St. Boise is a marquee opponent, a winnable game, and will boost Troy’s national perception with a win. It’s an excellent opponent that any G5 would love to have a home and home with.

Back to topic.
We need to reach the next level scheduling-wise. We have some nice home games vs Boise St, Southern Miss, NC State, Memphis, Mississippi St and Army coming up which is solid but teams like Marshall, Boise St, etc manage to sign deals with Pittsburgh, Florida St, Michigan St, Oregon, etc. Appalachian State will host South Carolina in 2025.
Marshall: vs NC State (2018), Cincinnati (2019), Pittsburgh and Boise St (both in 2020), East Carolina (2021 & 2025) Boise State: BYU (2018), Florida State and BYU (2020), Oklahoma State (2021), Michigan State (2022), Oregon St (2023), Oregon (2025), Washington State (2027) Appalachian St: South Carolina (2025)
We need to sign a similar deal with a bigger fb school (even if 2-for-1) like South Carolina, Ole Miss, West Virginia, Louisville, etc - and more Boise St type of deals (TCU, UCF, ECU etc). A ranked Troy team hosting a good South Carolina, Louisville team could be a nationally televised game on ESPN(1), maybe even ABC - with our recent stadium expansion, even more likely.
