I went in year one, but I found it was better for my health if I didn’t come anymore. I’ve enjoyed having some extra disposable income since I don’t buy Troy tickets. I’ll be back on campus next season if Fester is gone. If not, I will probably find a new passion like traveling the world.

Itâs not about the coach. The players deserve the support. Come hangout at our tailgate and make some new friends and reconnect with the old ones.

Went to my only game this season. Missed the last two seasons players reunions due to a hurricane and shoulder surgery. The no discipline makes me want to puke

I try and go 3 times to go back to the school I love where I met my wife and got a degree. I like to see the changes on campus and I love the Vet. I do not like (The HC we don’t speak of) and he makes me sick but if we lose a Saturday and (The HC we don’t speak of) is fired I will have a very fine bottle of scotch to share with all of you !

Not buying tickets because of (The HC we don’t speak of) hurts every Athletic program on campus. Football pays the bills.
Send your thoughts to Brent Jones. If we were not serious about athletics, why do we have the nicest facilities in the Sunbelt.
And as I see it, Brent Jones pulled the trigger on Baseball, which was performing better than football, so I have no doubt he will do the same in Football.
New Fiscal year starts tomorrow, so I forsee a firing in the new fiscal year. And I see a great hire coming to football.
See yall in Troy next Saturday. Can't wait to tailgate.

New Fiscal year starts tomorrow, so I forsee a firing in the new fiscal year. And I see a great hire coming to football. See yall in Troy next Saturday. Can't wait to tailgate. Iâve been complaining about Fester since early in season 1, when I watched his press conferences. Iâm sure you can find a bunch of us talking about how bad they were if you search the forums. I called him a bum then and I stand by it now. Anyway, every time I complain with letters or telling an assistant AD (I wont name him here) to his face that Fester is destroying the wall, all I get is âwe need more moneyâ and âplease rent out the north end zone tentsâ and âwe have this luxury box availableâ. Itâs a grift and if they donât care about my opinion, so they donât get my money. There are thousands of Troy alumni that hardly ever think of Troy once they graduate. In recruiting for the alumni association, I heard often that a Troy degree was a business transaction and that is now over. If someone still has student loans, they are hesitant to donate. Not donating hurts the players but being the B**** of the SBC hurts them more. Jack is hurting the players. Jack could of canned Fester without a payout for alleged conduct unbecoming, but he didnât want the bad press. He loved the press when he fired the police chief for having an opinion. Look how woke we are and look how much we support communist China. Iâm pissed off and not just at the state of the football program. So if (The HC we don’t speak of) (The HC we don’t speak of) is the football coach here next season, Iâm going to consider my business with Troy to be concluded.

Out of everything you said - you can only control you I don't agree with the direction at Troy in several areas either. Can't blame you for not supporting football. Have you talked to Coach Rigby. Won't find a better person and I think she may be the best basketball coach in the state of AL. Surely you can get behind her and support her. Volleyball, golf, softball all trending in good direction - can they be better yes, but they are not going backwards like football.
Still a lot of great things happening at Troy. You are either married to the Troy for better for worse - or NOT.

If I am "married" to Troy, then I wish my spouse would stop subjecting our children to a figuratively monstrous uncle that has grabby hands. Bottom line is, it is my money and I don't have to spend it on Troy if I don't want to. I really don't want to spend it on Troy when I give and am ignored. 5 figure donations shouldn't get a form letter response. When assistant AD whats his name no longer makes it past my receptionist and can no longer get me on the phone.... why TF is Fester still here?? I post on this board, which makes me part of the 1% of the Alumni that even cares what happens to Troy. Troy football averages less than 30k in attendance and that number is bolstered by the Neal Brown years. I forget which alpha on this board did the math, but 3 winning seasons over the last 10 years? ? Yeah... married to Troy, it's time for a trial separation which will occur if fester is still here on early signing day.

New Fiscal year starts tomorrow, so I forsee a firing in the new fiscal year. And I see a great hire coming to football. See yall in Troy next Saturday. Can't wait to tailgate. Nicest facilities is an open debate. GATA has a stadium and facility equal to ours and App St and USA have beautiful stadiums and facilities that rival ours and have a indoor practice facility which we don't. The NEZ complex took longer to build than the Great Wall Of China but it finally got done (personally think NB pushed some buttons on it). Basketball arena is the nicest one in the conference but JMO it was built more for Hawkins to have a graduation show place than winning basketball (although Rigby has done a fantastic job). Baseball is not the top facility although really nice and the renovation will step it up a notch. I just don't see the fire in Hawkins and this administration like they had in the 90's and early 2000's to win. Hawkins main priority right now is his relationship with Kung Pow Ping and China and how many buildings he can build as his legacy before kicking the horrendous bond debt to the next chancellor. As another poster said, take football away and Troy University ceases to exist and that is not open for debate. Football is what got me to Troy as growing up in Cent FL I had never heard of it. I fell in love with the campus the minute I set foot on it and gave my verbal commitment the next day. Best decision I ever made in my life and it has given me the opportunity to play college football, great friends and teamates I still stay in touch with, a college degree and a lifetime of memories. If we don't get football back to the level that is Troy everything suffers. It just turns back into a commuter college with a football team that doesn't draw flies. Remember what the stands looked liked in 2014 if you don't believe me. The App St game in 2014 I personally could have bought every person in the stands a dollar cheese burger for under $1,000....FACT!!

When assistant AD whats his name no longer makes it past my receptionist and can no longer get me on the phone..... This, in a nutshell is one of the major issues in AD office. Donor relationships are critical and they are currently being butchered. But if some folks on here what to keep throwing accolades at this AD office, you are entitled but please don’t complain when things dry up and the product on the field and campus continue to suffer.

I will bet you $100 Coach (The HC we don’t speak of) will not be here signing day (and that is early signing period in December - not February). I have no knowledge that will be the case. I still say that AD Brent Jones pulled the trigger on baseball. Coach Smart was probably one the finest people you will ever meet. But, there was not energy in the program and AD Jones saw we needed change, so he did what he thought was best for the program. I feel pretty certain change is coming.

I am interested to know if he was given the authority to do the hire or if Hawkins realized he had to step aside on it due to the rumors of signing his son in law?

If I gave AD BJ 3 main points of focus they would have to be Managing The coaches , Fan Experience, Fund Raising In no particular order. There are also others but for argument sake let’s focus on these! Managing Coaches. New coaches in Baseball, Golf, soccer I would grade his performance a B. The difficulties in Football bring it down but clearly a Coaching change in Football will bring his grade to B+ and a great hire will elevate to an A Fan Experience. I would grade him an A ! The atmosphere on campus is electric Fundraising Grade D. I am not sure why this is being neglected but I do know that generally people in leadership usually have a weakness and when realized should task someone else to specialize in that dept. I hate to see potential donors or former donors neglected and I hope this will improve
