Im unable to watch this evening. Did we just quit playing? It’s unexplainable the change the team displayed in everything during and AFTER halftime.

Stop with this playing conservative crap...just because we were up 35-7 d0esnt mean anything. Keep the foot on the gas!...They are moving the ball easy so we need to continue to score! We may be playing conservative on Offense but we have just stop tackling on Defense. I sincerely would like to know how many first opportunity tackles this year have been missed. It seems like an dang epidemic! Dang GET UNDER CONTROL BEFORE ATTEMPTING YHE TACKLE!

What is our overall record against ULM? I know they have our number in Monroe. Just hope we come out on the good end of an expected dogfight IMO. I can’t believe that not a single tv outlet is carrying this game, not even ESPN3. What gives?

I do my best to stay out of fights on this board, but I will vouch for Hemi Man. He's a super cool dude in person! Eh... I mean he's ok. Its not like I tailgate with him every chance I get or anything. Hey, isn’t this thread suppose to be about the suspensions?😲

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!

That should be a fumble, recovered by TROY! No freaking way. This is garbage! Terrible calls. Even the TV announcers said “the refs just gave us a gift”!

I was surprised to see Gunnar in the game late. Does this remove any redshirt opportunity? With two healthy QBs I would have thought he would have possibly sat out this season. How about Jabir's performance. 71 yards rushing, 24 reception and a blocked punt. why surprised ? We were up like by 50 points ? Should coach have waited until we were up by 70 ? He’s referring to the Red Shirt rule, not the darn score!

I've been going to Troy games for 30 years. Haven't been to the front porch in over 20 years if you're talking about watering holes. What makes you the expert? You’ve proven you no little if anything about most everything. You don’t understand sponsorships. You don’t understand bowl games. You don’t understand football. You can’t count obviously since you don’t know the difference in 18,000 and 25,000. Shall I continue? The Front Porch hasn’t changed a bit since you were last there. This remind me of the current political atmosphere!

Just got home about 2 hrs ago. I also just wanted to say how great we were treated by the entire town of Troy from the hotel staff at the Hampton Inn, the workers and fans at Rodeo, and especially the Troy tailgaters. We were humbled to be invited to almost every tailgate we passed. I apologize to Hemi and your great group as we never made it back to eat, but by the time we got thru all the tailgate invites, it was kick-off. This was a trip that had all of the Southern Hospitality we have heard so much about. Again, thanks to all and kick some tail the rest of the season... I will be following your season, so I hope you don't mind if i check in once in a while.. 👍🏽

No Hemi....based upon a parent who has a student in the athletic department, comments from players/students, having the most athletes on Sunbelt Team, quality of coaching staff, and the opening of NEZ Project, looking for a better performance. There was nothing negative about my expectations....I just felt we were better than what we saw Saturday. A LOT of people had those same expectations. My general feeling was we just wasn’t ready to play a quality opponent! Why? There will be a hundred answers to that question.

Is that really why they're not coming? FAMU would be a cool addition to the Belt, and it is a school with a proud tradition, but, as a former Tallahassee resident and FSU alum, FAMU is horribly dysfunctional as an institution. Also, has an HBCU ever made that transition? They have quite a tradition in the MEAC vs SWAC and all that. Interesting to speculate though. They can’t be in the Sun Belt, wrong division.

I had such a good time, the Troy fans around me were so awesome and Bubba even came by to say hi before the game, just like he said that he would. There was one really obnoxious Boise fan and I apologize if anyone heard him, he left at half and a bunch of us applauded. lol I was shocked by the outcome as I thought that it was going to be a lot closer than it was. I got home around 3:30 am, but it wad well worth it. Your fan base is a class act all around. Good luck the rest of the season. Thanks, enjoyed you guys. Sorry our team decided not to show for the game but I think Coach Brown and Vic will deal with that little issue Monday!

What happened to "Are you from Dixie?" during the pregame stuff by the band? Did it get nixed? I asked the same thing! That’s a TRADITION!

I don't want to hear this aww shucks they were a top 10 team stuff. Coach said it perfectly. "Our team needed to get hit in the mouth." Last night we would have lost to a conference opponent and looked just as bad. Our team has a lot of work to do. Respect for they are a top ten team and if they escape the injury bug they will finish in top 5. We are not. That is not aw shucks that is we MAY have thought a bit much about ourselves and we were taken out back by our big brother and pounded pretty well. However, little brothers can learn from it and be better in using their skills that are honed thru arse whoopins. We shall see. I will be there and cheer for the little brother who can grow up. HOWEVER, last nite big bro showed us a thing or two. There were some good lessons to take from this. I have no way of knowing what our end of year win total will be but as far as I am concerned it could still be 13-1. Not by last nites team but if little bro grows like I think their coaches can take them. YES it could happen!!!! I just don’t see them as a top 10 team, sorry, much less a top 5! JMHO!

Know who else needs to get hit in the mouth??? Whoever runs gameday concessions. "Let's not have hotdogs for the season opener. They ran out of beer pretty quick, too. Really can't figure that out, cause it's not like they didn't know how many people were coming. But concessions has always sucked. My expectations are so low for them that I no longer have any. Major props to the young lady standing between sections 112 and 114. She was a ticket hawk! No squatters in our section! Amen, they FINALLY checked tickets ....but they do need to say on the job to mid 3qt. Ours was gone at halftime. He must have been a student because they all left at halftime as well!

The University provides a free shuttle to take you from this location to the game and back. The shuttle does run a route, so it will be a 15-20 minute ride if you have to make the entire loop, but it's really convenient. Thanks Bubba, if I may call you Bubba. This sounds like the best option. That will give my wife and sister-in-law more time to shop without us. On a side bar, it would probably be cheaper to rent a car than let the 2 of them go shopping alone. Anyway again, we appreciate all the info and are so looking forward to our game day with all the Troy fans. Have a great day and be safe. There’s a nice discount outlet about 16 miles west on 231 toward Montgomery.

Bubba the Trojan, Thanks for the info. I don't know how to add your response to my questions to this post, so this is going to show up as a quick reply again. Sorry. Again though, thanks. I think we will hold off til 1 Aug. and try for the best seats available. I have been watching your stadium upgrades for the last several months and it looks like it is going to be very special place to play. We are very privileged to be the team you play to kick-off the new additions. It should be an electric atmosphere to say the least. We are so looking forward to arriving a day early so we can enjoy the southern hospitality that we have heard so much about. As said earlier, thanks for the info. If you have any questions about our team, I would be happy to try and answer them for you. Can't wait til 1 Sept. Welcome to our board and Troy University in the beautiful quaint country town of Troy, Alabama. Southern hospitality begins here and ends at kickoff!😂👍🏽 And you will surely need this!😂

They will be the next C-USA member if C-USA doesn't splinter like the old WAC did. ULL cooked their goose with the football troubles, softball trouble and even cheerleaders running a escort service. If they want to take a step down, let ‘em! I believe that cheerleader fiasco was at CC!

Saw this earlier and wanted to share. Out of 400 DC's since 2005, Vic is ranked 4th in S&P+ on field defensive rating, and average recruiting ranking. I mean, that's saying he's the 4th best DC in the last 13 years. How incredible is that?? And I believe it. He can flat out coach, even when we've had to replace some really key guys, Vic's defense always stepped up. Getting him to come to Troy was legitimately like getting a Top 3 five star athlete to sign with Troy. I don't think people realize crazy it is that he is our DC. I'm loving it. Bring on Boise and Nebraska! I can't wait for that Frost / Koenning matchup... Amen but I say 5*! 👍🏽

Winning the conference tourney three times is something for any Sun Belt school, Coach Rigby and the team have made some real accomplishments. What's more, Little Rock is a good team. I don't think the women's program will be out of the NCAA's for too long. Also, they could still get to a postseason tourney. In short, I have no complaints. Amen. They ARE young and the effort was outstanding. Coach Rigby is a darn good coach. You can’t win them all, ask Duke! The future looks bright for this group of young ladies!
