Looking for questions folks would like to hear discussed. Post a question and the Boyz will pick the hottest one to address.

Stoudemire status. TJ Jackson status. Attendance this year for a cupcake vs last year for cupcake. Why does Janice Hawkins have so much authority? <- I dare you.

Why does Janice Hawkins have so much authority? <- I dare you. SINCE YOU brought this up, the better question (or concern for a Trojan Family member) should be where was Dr. Hawkins⁉️ Yes, he was viewed on the Jumbotron with his message, but did anyone see him in person yesterday?? NOT like him to miss an event, especially of this significance OR NOT to see him walking around the sideline. HOPE all is well OR that my eyesight just was not functioning well yesterday during the athletic activities 👍🏼🙏🏼

Hope all is well with The Godfather!!

Serious speculative question: what do you suppose we did NOT see yesterday to keep the playbook hidden and what weapons do we have in the arsenal that we can look forward to seeing?
It was obviously a very conservative play-calling, run-heavy game and not too many passes. We had almost 200 passing yards but a lot of that was run-after-catch stuff. I didn't see any big strikes attempted down the field for long yardage...I think we kept that potential hidden for next week. We highlighted our run game potential so that they know we're dangerous, so we can burn them in the air.
Nit-picky, not-serious questions for observation:
Why promote a smartphone/Troy app crowd trivia question when you can't get cell data service in the stadium enough to open the app on said smartphone? I know it's a money deal but it's so freakin' frustrating.
Why did the bookstore or stadium vendors not overstock on D. Ware jerseys for this game? I got to the bookstore before the Trojan Walk and there wasn't a jersey to be found. The vendors had about 5 small jerseys left before kickoff but that was it. I wanted to throw a drink at the jumbotron for it's promo of D. Ware jerseys in the bookstore in the middle of the game (not really but again, I'm just nitpicking here).
Why were we in black when it was "United In Cardinal" night? (again, nit-picky...I'm not seriously bent out of shape at all about it)
For Bennekles: How much did I love this game's helmets? Answer: a lot.
Go Troy!

Ware jerseys in the bookstore in the middle of the game (not really but again, I'm just nitpicking here). GOOD question, we experienced the same thing in the bookstore. Probably did the same thing you did, left the bookstore and went to Trojan Terrace for Trojan Walk ... A merchandise tent was set up so I walked over there and they had "The Jersey" on display ... I pointed and asked IF they had it in 2XL. He turned around, pulled one on a hanger from the display and handed it to me ... I was looking at him with a puzzled look and trying to check the size at the same time, IS THIS a 2XL? YES!! At that point I shared the same thing you shared on this thread, I told him they did not have any in the bookstore! He responded that he knew because he had brought all of the jerseys from the bookstore with him. I am sure that hindsight is going to be 20/20 for them, don't know how many they sold, but I am sure they could have sold more because The Trojan Nation loves their D. Ware!!!

I heard we will be in black jersey for 4 weeks because ( only what I was told ) was that the AD wouldn’t make a decision on design . I need more of this story.

We're "lower" upper deck and Verizon was still slow, but photos made it to intended recips.

What’s your question about Stoudemire? He played last night.

Why when you retire a number is it not displayed in the stadium somewhere? I’ve been to many braves games where numbers are retired and they have them covered until the ceremony and then reveal it. I was quite disappointed in the retirement ceremony!

I was quite disappointed in the retirement ceremony! The very first Troy Football # was retired yesterday. We attended ceremonies Pre-game and during game. A FINE display was unveiled in the North End Zone. It was a fitting week for DWare! and his family!! Sorry you were not invited.

All that and all, it would be nice to see his name and number displayed inside the stadium. In terms of the long game, if we didn't have dudes like @benekles and Ho, the old guys would be quickly forgotten. I wonder how many times a year new fans or students ask "Who is Larry Blakeney and why is it his field?"

I am glad there is a whole hall in the north end zone for recruits to see but an average fan isn’t going to go in there on game day. That’s my point. Chase riddle gas his number on the outfield wall of the stadium.

However, according to the calendar and a prediction now of 93 for A high in Kansas. Are they going all white and we will be in black? I know high will be late game but up to 90-91 late in a tough game with sun and a black jersey?

Upper or lower deck shouldn't be a factor. This ain't 1995. Private citizens are shooting themselves into outer space, for goodness sake. Or edit that crowd video to say "hey, you upper deck Verizon fans....pull out your phone and open the Troy app and...."

It's a matter of physics. The stadium is constructed of steel and it turns the lower deck under the overhang into a Faraday Cage. I went down to the bench seats to visit a friend in the 4th quarter. Yep no service.

Faraday cages can be overcome. Again, it's 2023.
