Sounds good to me!! Just glad we aren’t ULM or Southern Miss! I remember the days of New Orleans or nothing! Our conference has come a long ways since then.

I wouldn't trust an author that can't even get the dates or locations correct. "Troy will play a Mid-American team in the Dollar General Bowl on Dec. 15 in Montgomery, Ala" "Georgia Southern will play a Mid-American team in the Camellia Bowl on Dec. 22 in Mobile, Ala"

There’s no reason to look down our noses at in bowl game. Bowling in Montgomery or Mobile is better than sitting at home. We are going to Mobile. We aren’t going to turn our nose up at Mobile unless they are 100% satisfied with our replacement. (Not ULM).

Feel free to delete the thread if this isn't accurate. A friend sent it to me via text and I didn't investigate it, just saw it wasn't posted.

DG Bowl is a done deal unless some very interesting things happen this weekend ( I believe we need someone to get a NY6 invite and someone to lose tomorrow). As hemi said, I think the Athletic Dept will ensure all parties are in full agreement if we go elsewhere. I would book a room in Mobile if you haven't already (with a cancelation policy ).

That's going to be the kicker... All the Hilton properties are taking full payment upfront with no cancellation.

I'm sure Marriott will do the same... As for me, I'll enjoy my employee rate room at the Hilton.

Since we are in hotels I will share a little Marriott trick. I stay about 90 nights a year for work and often have to cancel rooms at the last minute due to my chaotic schedule. If you set up an online account you can input an expired credit card as long as you change the year to any year in the future. I learned this by accident about 7 years ago when my Corp card expired and I just put in a new expectation date and it’s worked ever since. They don’t validate the card only the expiration field dates. This way you can cancel on your own terms without penalty. It’s why they have my business...that and the Corp rate of course😉 Ps..keep it down home cuz!

If Virginia Tech got bowl eligible, that would be a good matchup. I think it would be a ten point game either way and Troy has comparable athletes to Tech

Agree tho', it would be an interesting match up.

If they don't, there is still a chance we head north on Dec 22. Surf Report:we have cloudy skies, air temp is 67, water is 72, wind is blowing 6-16 mph out of the SSE. The high tide was at 3:11 am and the low tide will be at 1:51 pm. Surf is running waist high with bigger sets. Expect surf to build this morning.

For those who are uptight about TROY's bowl destination, here's a little Saturday morning relief for you:

Probably Buffalo in bowl but sure wish our teams could just match up with CUSA champ too against our champ and like the idea of the Belt matching 1 and 2 against the MAC and CUSA 1-2. Then letting 3-4 match with AAC and MWC 3-4’s that would help differentiate the G5 conferences.

Whoa...that almost sounds like a playoff.....D1 will never let that happen, too much money in the current form...
