We are 1-1. We have flashes of brilliance. We have talent and a HBC that has a desire to win. I think we fight hard the next two weeks.

Interesting title to the thread. These two weeks we will go 0-2 or 1-1 or 2-0. Our board will read like this following those outcomes. .0-2: “Chicken little - the sky is falling” 1-1: “Forest Gump - life is like a box of chocolates “ 2-0: “ “Secretariat-The greatest ever” . Truth is none will be totally true even if we get our butts handed to us at App. (Here it would be much different against Marshall) We have a tough go these first games with a new coach. I think the 4-8 start by HCNB while differences do exist, the league is light years tougher. We will be ok. All WILL BE WELL. Let’s not Scott Frost him for a while.

God willing and the creek don’t rise, I will be tailgating in full force for the Marshall game. I priced out a trip to Boone, but the wife is giving me grief about 4k. Anyway, I can’t wait to see a campus and stadium full of Trojans in 2 weeks.

No matter what happens, with a rebuilding team, remember that 1-4 or 1-5 even to start the season was never out of the realm of possibility.
We will see how we rebuild in the back half of the season and set up for 2023.

Pointing out that it has always be a possibility given the rebuild isn’t equivalent to saying it’s OK. I don’t think any of us would ever say 1-5 is OK but honesty compels us to say, as mad as it would make us, as much as we don’t want it, 1-5 is a possibility.

You could also say losing every game the rest of the way is possible right ? Thoughts become reality. Winners mindset don’t think going 1-5 is even possible.

So, screaming and crying and self-flagellation and denouncing and decrying and demonization and projection.................won't change how things work out??? .. Wow, the next two months prior to mid-terms is going to be such a waste. Thank goodness for college football.........particularly SBC style!!!!

Somebody has coached kids before. It's amazing how well the 1-0 works.

Just maybe those classes weren't the "Best Ever" classes as we were "sold" by Troy U media?? Evidence and off the record talk points to that.

Evidence and off the record talk points to that. Not sure about that either! But the past 2 years (and Foreseeable future) The SBC is the best it’s ever been. What set HCNB apart was he had an elite quarterback for our conference. All the top teams right now have elite quarterbacks for this conference.

Especially on the offensive line.

Especially on the offensive line. A great QB can make a huge difference, look at Scott Frost, Neil Brown, Jamey Chadwell……. Not saying those coaches are bad now or better coaches now (Chadwell) just that is how big of a difference a QB can make

we were bad last year - not gonna change over night we have a lot of room for improvement This coach and staff - I trust them to get it right your opinion is yours and you are welcome to it Nick Saban lost to UL Monroe his first year at The University of Alabama - was it because he had less talent, poor coaching?

My point is everybody expects 10, 11, 12 win season every year, and I’m saying it is hard to do that without an elite quarterback in this league. Harder than ever before.

Harder than ever before. I agree but a run game helps even elite qb's No doubt, and O-line as well! But when you look back over the past 15 years the most successful seasons have been with Corey and Brandon who are 1 and 2 statistically, with Brandon having a higher QB rating.
