Sad to hear this news. R.I.P Redwaver. His conversations on this board will definitely be missed. My condolences and prayers go out to his family.

ULM is going to be a hard win to get this weekend for Troy. I hate that this game is up next for Troy coming off the big Nebraska victory. I think Troy needs to consider playing their once a year FCS game the week after their once a year power 5 game.

These pollsters are probably related to the pollsters who once declared a Bama team with 3 or 4 losses as National Champions.

Beating LSU and Nebraska in consecutive years will do wonders for us recruiting wise, there must be a multiplier effect. We now can tell recruits that the LSU win wasn't a fluke and that Troy is a giant killer. Next year, when we go to Mizzou the media will almost expect us to win this game. Also, last year's win got a lot of press, we were on the front (web) pages of SI, CBSSports, ESPN, etc, but this year, it's more like just another Troy upset just happened... if we beat Mizzou next year, it won't be shocking... this would be a good sign, similar to when Boise St beats Oregon St or Washington St, its not exactly news anymore. So, I am curious to see how the LSU & Nebraska wins will effect recruiting and overall media coverage. What we need to do now is, win the rest of our games and break into the Top 25, and stay there! If we want to be compared to Boise St, UCF, Houston, Memphis, BYU etc - we absolutely need to do this. Being a giant killer is cool and all but we need to be a Top 25 program! Today’s stupid CBS poll has us 28 spots below App St, three spots below Ga So and TWO SPOTS BELOW NEBRASKA of all people!

Winning vs Nebraska would be a better and bigger win for Troy then any Sunbelt tie in bowl game just like the win vs LSU was last year. You are absolutely wrong about this. Winning at LSU didn't WIN the team anything but victory. The Sun Belt wins and Bowl Win is what WON them their rings. Not the 15 minutes of fame we got for beating LSU. Which was promptly extinguished with a loss at home against South 11 days later.... So while winning at Nebraska would be big for the program, another 15 minutes of fame (maybe 20 this time) it 'wins' the team nothing, but for victory and confidence. 8 of the next 9 are what are most important. Most important to the team, the coaches, the staff, everyone except those out here on the sidelines wanting to feel more euphoric about a win in Lincoln than they would winning the Sun Belt Conference and representing the conference as its Champion. Going to Bowl games and winning bowl games is great, but I bet if you asked every player on the Troy football team what was their biggest victory of the year last year, I think most would say the LSU victory...just saying...Winning against teams like LSU and winning against teams like Nebraska gives Troy more notoriety , more national exposure and generates more fan interest then any sunbelt bowl tie in game does. People are still talking about the Troy victory over LSU last year. I bet most people don't even remember or know who Troy played in their bowl game last year.

All I got out of that story was that you cheated in flag football......man you should be ashamed. Great story..thanks for sharing. The flag football insert to the story reminded me that my flag football team had a trojan great on it (Robert Kilow)that may have been illegal too, but he was a red shirt that year. Nobody we played could cover him.

I think the Boise team I watched Sat has a chance to be a top 10 team and get a NY6 Bowl birth. In saying/thinking that, Troy would have had to play the game of their lives Sat to win, and that for sure did not happen. I feel confident that Troy will pick their selves up, dust off and still have a great season. Go Troy Go!

I would say yes. It is about Troy fans being officially depressed that football season is over. As far as the message board and the whining, complaining, attacking, the good , the bad, the ugly, etc....it all makes the message board very entertaining.

It is indeed GREAT to be a Troy Trojan Fan....Former students/alumni and people in the surrounding area that are not Troy fans or support Troy University have no clue what they are missing out on which is something VERY SPECIAL to be proud of and apart of....GO TROY GO!

Brown will break all of Blakeneys records here if he stays long enough. Then what will you say about it? Been going to Troy games since 89. Seen plenty to know who the better coach is. You can bet the team would have folded like a book against LSU with LB. Maybe I'm a little controversial but I can handle that when I'm right. Campbell or Turk will keep us competitive after Neal Brown. Should have won it all in FCS at least once with the talent we had. The man could recruit. Tell me Rowell wasn't the worst coach in FBS? Tell me Blakeney didn't stay too long? The AD had to tell him to quit.I'm.not in a popularity contest here. We just about folded like a book with this years LSU game as well didn’t we? gotroygo

This is not on Troy. We knew for sure yesterday and they sent out information yesterday. On line it may say sold out. I called in and asked for the New Orleans Bowl - not Troy as the hotel just found out yesterday that Troy was the team. Also make sure that if they say sold out, that they are not referring to the room type. A room type may be sold out but not the block of rooms. Just a tip from a hotelier. Our hotel will host MTSU - and I will walk around with my Troy Yeti all next week! MTSU...that was the team that I wanted Troy to get in the New Orleans Bowl....Darn!

I like the part where dude says.. "Their fan base covers 4 square miles." Them there is ticket buying words. I might just tell Euro Disney to stick it and go to the game. I would really be happy with that 4 square mile of fans in New Orleans

Silvers has been a roller coaster QB in my opinion but many props to him on a great pressure drive to lead Troy to its 1st sunbelt title in a while. IMO if we had the following QB's this season leading Troy then Troy would be playing in a New Years 6 bowl game this year:
1. Kelvin S 2. Levi B 3. Omar H 4. Corey R
I would put Brandon some where in the top 10 though.

I was told by lets just say a very reliable source that the response from Troy was that if the city of Los Angeles changes its name to Troy then Troy would consider changing its mascot name.

Troy: New Orleans Ark State: Mobile Georgia State: Montgomery App State: Orlando NMSU: Arizona Id like that....the shake up will be if ulm or ull get to bowl eligible...they will get the New Orleans Bowl and Ga State or NMS will be staying home unless another conference can't meet their bowl tie ins

Win or lose out I think Troy is going to be picked for the Camellia bowl....I went to Camellia Bowl last year and Montgomery does a nice job with that bowl...the pre-game introductions were awesome and the PA announcer for that game was really good....I personally am holding out hope for New Orleans though. Where do you see App State going? To New Orleans if ULM or ULL aren't bowl eligible and if they are then they go to Orlando....I see Ark st going to mobile....JMO
