That's the worst 1st quarter of Troy football I've seen in years. Uh, you miss last year? 1st Quarter: 14 plays 0 points 3 punts 1 fumble 3 net rushing yards 36 total yards You have to admit, that may be more rough than any 1st quarter last year lol And no, this isn't a Craddock bash. I like Craddock. I'm just implying how hard it was to watch that 1st quarter.

Game time forecast is 56, headed to 46 by the time the clock reads 00:00. With the forecast ENE winds, it’s likely to feel like 38. That’s still 10 degrees warmer than actual game time of the 2010 GMAC Bowl. All of Trojan Nation needs to bundle up and join you and the rest of us at The Vet. Forecast was pretty spot on, and it was chilly.

Students are here! That was the largest and most raucous student section I think I've ever seen at a Troy football game, and for the most part, they stayed until the contest was complete. Good job students!

What we saw tonight in the 4th quarter was Rusty Ball. Because of Rusty's strength and conditioning program, we were able to impose our will on 🚫. The drive that resulted in Kimani's TD took almost 9:00 off the clock, and though it took 4 plays for us to put the ball in the end zone, as Barry said post game, Kimani would not be denied. Kudos to Gunnar for almost getting there himself on the draw. Kudos to Gunnar as well for dropping 3 dimes into C Lewis' hands. I have to admit, before the last one, I was losing my mind. We had 4th and 7 or so from outside the 25 if I remember correctly, and we could have set up for a FG attempt of about 45 yards, well within STR's range. If successful, said FG would have made it a 14 pt game. Instead, we line and go for the first down, or so I thought. Craddock dialed up the go route to C Lewis for all the marbles, Gunnar dropped the dime, and Lewis made another FANTASTIC catch.to make the lead 18 and seal the deal. Craddock, Gunnar, and Lewis all have ice water in their veins.
Great job all around for our TROJANS. Now, on to Monroe.
HAVOC!

What a great night. My parents who met at Troy were in attendance good to see some old friends including the greatest Troy punter of all time imo Matt Allen. That first quarter was tough to watch. But it is a 4th quarter game. Congrats to Kingmani. Chris Lewis is the Man. Nice win I love it. Go Troy. Let's beat Terry "Doughboy" Bowden

Just made it home after midnight. As always, I had a great time at Troy University and saw some good football. I would have liked to crush these punks, but a rivalry game tends to be close. Our defense once again was bend and not break. Chris Lewis is amazing. Runner Watson has some speed and Kimani Vidal broke a school record. Congratulations Kimani! I can't wait to do it all again in 2 weeks for the Louisiana game.

TMTDM !!! is just so good. Troy might lose another Defensive Coordinator for the 2nd year in a row to a bigger program.
Lewis is legit. He is a vacuum. A literal just throw it up and he will get it guy.
The dagger in the gut TD on the last Trojan drive was spicy. Well done Jon ! Love it.
Yeah, it was cold.

Hell, we might lose Sumrall. 19-4 HC record. And could be back to back championships.

Still believe we have a few more seasons with Jon until he bounces, he will be patient

I thought about this last night about Jon and Kentucky. Maybe he is content winning here? There is a lot of pressure to go back to your alma mater and win. Look at Scott frost. Now he’s unemployed when he was having great success at ucf. I know Jon is happy here and I’m not saying he won’t leave but I feel confident we have him for at least 3 more seasons.

These boys are legit. I doubted Watson a few times through the season but the guy is solid and will run you over if thats the play called. Looking back at notifications for the first time in a year seems some here think that makes DT a lesser fan than their highness. Which is flucking stupid. But, I digress.
The Cajuns are the only real obstacle left. Vidal and TMTDM should be able to handle them just fine. I think I’ll load the family up and let little man experience his first game day!

What a great time to be a Troy Trojan! We are fortunate to have Jon at the helm.

It’s so fun to wake up today and go over to the jags message board. That game thread is such a great read. A nice little short story about a group of people who think something great is going to happen…until it doesn’t. The meltdown these people have is so entertaining. 🤣

The meltdown these people have is so entertaining. 🤣 It reads almost exactly like this board has for MOST of the past 5 years. Doom and gloom, and woe is me. Granted, for 3 of those 5 it was warranted. Maybe it’s warranted forJanNation as well. I don’t care enough about them to keep up with their travails.

Just guesssing they'll all buy Condos and forego season tickets until Wommack is gone??? Sounds familiar indeed.
