Being down here in Mobile,I can tell you that support for the gags is not that great.The only people that wanted it were alumni and students.And there was absolutely no support for taxpayers paying for new stadium.Thats why we need to put foot on their throat and get the IPF built.Put them so far behind us they can’t keep up.

I noticed this summer when I visited my son a couple times when he was Dauphin Island for classes. I stayed on the exit where USA is. Was there two weekends driving around ... I think I say maybe 2 or 3 USA car tags ... maybe a couple USA shirts of any kind ... and no signage that I recall. Very telling I think. I think it's one advantage to being in "small" market ... signs of support really stick out!

Down here everyday,you will definitely see more Alabama and auburn merchandise.You also see your fair share of Troy gear down here as well.When footbal started at south ,the city Mobile barely noticed and it still hasn’t grown.

I wondered how long it would take for people to start blasting his Troy ties Seriously, I do hate it for them. Good for Troy football, though. They will eventually build a OCS... They will probably have funding within the next 10 years or so. We need to get enough separation from then that an OCS won't make a difference.

We have the facilities now, so all we need to do now is win our games and some more championships, crack the Top25 regularly, rest will take care of itself!

If you lived down here and had to deal with what little fanbase they have,you wouldn’t feel bad for them.they hate us with a passion.they were saying the Trojan overlords we’re keeping them from getting stadium.i won’t even say the things they say about the city of Troy.trust me,they got what they deserved.

While I understand the "hatred" for USA from the Troy side, this is a BAD THING for the Jags in particular but for the Sun Belt as a whole. This conference is trying to continue to build on its reputation, winning bowl games, competing against the "BIG FELLAs", etc. Here is what's going to happen, either Phil Steele is going to have to "you-know-what" some more money for Ladd or Mobile WILL LOSE THE SENIOR BOWL then next will be the Dollar General. It will most likely move to Orlando, where there are "mega facilities" and easy to spread out and get some work in. To continue to raise this conference to the top of the Group of Five, we need EVERY school in the conference to continue to build facilities and out pace the rest of the Group of Five. Cannot do it until every conference member has state of the art facilities and can pull those kids in that might otherwise go to CUSA/MAC/AAC.
I most certainly have great disdain for USA - I most certainly want this conference to grow. The only way to do that is to build new facilities so that recruits can see what they are getting and where they will be living and playing at. JMHO

My point is, with him leaving the Sr Bowl, I think the new fresh vision will already be looking for an out, there is no emotional connection to Ladd anymore. I agree It is certainly a bad deal for the DG bowl too

JMHO USA is an in-state rival and they already do steal recruits from us (and USM), they really do. So why should we want them to build a nicer on-campus stadium (when compared to our stadium)? I am ok with TX St, App St etc upgrading facilities but not USA (or UAB).

Do you want to play a bowl game at souths new stadium with all the gag signs advertising USA and all the announcers talking about how great the new stadium is on national tv,instead of talking about the teams on the field?we don’t need south to be great.we were great before.

I guess there's a difference in philosophies. I want everyone to be better and I want to be the best. I don't get any pleasure in wishing someone to fail so I can look better.

Nah,it will hurt Mobile and south,it won’t hurt SBC as long as we keep contract.i don’t want to advertise south on national tv.Their hatred for us is beyond insane.i went to see Troy at “stank”ey field a few years back and had my Troy tag on my car.i was flipped off numerous times while trying to park.got out to walk to field with hat on,more getting flipped off.sat down to watch game and had gag fan trying to start a fight when Troy got a lead.Even worse on way out after Troy won.I won’t take my grandsons to watch baseball there.south sucks and if the school closed tomorrow I think it would be better for SBC.

I asked a question,Do you want to give south national tv exposure at Troy’s expense by playing in a bowl at their new stadium and have all the talk be about that instead of game on the field?
