On that play, the WR got hooked coming out of his break. It should have been a PI call. La Monroe can score 50 on them and we can’t score a d—- thing! After spending many years in the coaching gig, I need someone to explain to me why on 3rd and 1 deep in your opponents territory you keep throwing bubble screen passes or flat passes. It’s not in my common sense files!

Over threw a wide open receiver with no pressure first possession. Easy TD On that play, the WR got hooked coming out of his break. It should have been a PI call. La Monroe can score 50 on them and we can’t score a d—- thing!

At this point...we are not looking good on either side of the ball but our defense has stepped up in the red zone. It wont be able to hold like that forever. Gotta get some offense going and gotta stop them on their side of the 50! Another big game, and AGAIN at this point our offense is a NO SHOW!

You give up 50 (That’s five zero) points to an average La Monroe and you don’t think your defensive front four is average? Seriously? I love your grading curve when it comes to evaluating YOUR TEAM!😜😂

If he can make the kicks he’s good by me.......but if he can’t? He deserves another chance but still find a really good one!

Don't see it, sorry. Kansas - career ender not starter. Only Big 12 school that I think has a chance is Tech. Since they just beat Texas, got bowl eligible, don't think Cliff is going anywhere. Baylor maybe? Iowa St could be looking for a new coach. Baylor is a disaster!

Legassy has just as much chance to make this team as anybody. He wasn't ready to play but if he proves himself to the team this spring, then I will cheer for him when he takes the field next fall. I can't justify holding a grudge against a young student athlete. I hope he does pull it all together and becomes a Troy legend. If not, then somebody will be. Yep, I agree with you but we still need a HS QUALITY kicker in case he doesn’t find a way to get it between the uprights another year!

Invited to other conferences don’t have a darn thing to do with success on the field! It has EVERYTHING to do with viewing area population. Nothing proved that better than FIU and FAU getting invited to the CUSA! We are small market in farm country! The Sun Belt is where we will stay unless there is a two conference unification! Understand that’s the logic that led to decline of the CUSA TV deal. They wanted markets. Markets are great unless no one in those markets actually care or are watching. Yep, I sUd back then a Troy with its Pedigree was a better choice for viewers than FIU or FAU. NOBODY watches or attends their games!

Any chance we get spotlights on the Trojan statue in the open end zone? It would be very nice for night games! I’m telling you, the more of the north addition they put up the louder that place gets!

The drop kick was used back in the day but never seen one attempted in my years of going to football games. I think it is legal and I guess a drop kick that went through the uprights would be 3 points? In my opinion a top notch kicker has to be one of our top needs to fill via a HS signing!

I do think our football team is one of the best two teams in the conference. I do understand with our current support , school size, facilities, our small hometown , etc... we are pretty much destined to stay in the sunbelt. I think what happened to our program from 2011 to 2014 set us back for quite some time. I think were on the right path to eventually draw some attention to receive an invite to a better conference. Invited to other conferences don’t have a darn thing to do with success on the field! It has EVERYTHING to do with viewing area population. Nothing proved that better than FIU and FAU getting invited to the CUSA! We are small market in farm country! The Sun Belt is where we will stay unless there is a two conference unification!

You ever think that maybe coaches watched him and talked to him, and for whatever reason decided not to offer him? Maybe he told coaches that he didnt want to come to Troy? Who knows. We didnt offer, he is playing for a MAC school. Good for him. I played AISA ball. There is a huge difference in private schools playing in the AHSAA and a private school in the AISA. He played AISA ball against not so great competition. Yeah there are some good ball players in the AISA, I beleive Gaston played at Monroe Academy(AISA). But by and large it is sub par talent. Why are we arguing about this? We have got some really good QBs in the wings. Who’s arguing?

Talented but attitude he rushes for 9 and has a threat of unsportsmanlike every play but he is talented - anybody can see his is the best player on the field when he is on it Well, there one lineman that gets tons of penalties every game and it hasn’t affected HIS playing time. I just can’t understand what’s keeping him off the field given his talent. I don’t hear if any locker room issues nor academics so I wonder. We need speed!

Where was Henderson last week? I can’t remember seeing him in the game at all but maybe I slept through it! He had 1 carry for 2 yards last week. The kids has speed and moves so I wonder what’s the rest of the story. He seems like our obvious outside threat. He does have hotdog tendencies so I wonder. His HS coach says he’s a good kid that’s all in on effort but I don’t have a clue!

I think the white helmet has run its course. What happened to the red helmets from last season? I think its time to bring back a black one and maybe a gray one? And as always the red !!! The white is a nice look and a good change of pace. We just need white, black and matte Cardinal. We can keep the Silver lids too since we beat LSU in those. I lived the Red metallic look!

We can't take everybody. I think Smith and Barker are going to be great! When you have TWO QB’s and one gets injured you are up the creek without a paddle. You need 3 at the QB position!

Do you all remember earlier in the season when all the rage was railing against the lack of creativity in play calling and how some said we weren't showing the entire playbook yet? We've seen some of that creativity over recent weeks as the play book has been cracked open. I expect to see that sucker knocked off the table and wide open vs stAte. I predict nothing will be held back and like the great group BTO famously sang: "You ain't seen nothin' yet. B, b, b baby you just ain't seen n, n n, nothin' yet. Here's somethin', it's somethin' you ain't never gonna forget. You ain't seen nothin yet." Havoc!Where was Henderson last week? I can’t remember seeing him in the game at all but maybe I slept through it!

Sorry for the duplo-post but, in recruiting, timing is everything. Why on earth don’t we offer? He has s good arm, mobility and reasonable speed and he dint mind moving out of the pocket !

True, PensacolaKid. UAB brought back the football program, built a new practice facility and football operations building for Clark before his raise. We're cautiously optimistic about the new stadium coming to Uptown & starting construction in 2018. You were also given a free ride on recruiting and eligibility which NEVER should have been allowed!

Yeah ULM now just hang on for 23 seconds ULM wins Troy controls our own destiny And got the love of Mike, DON’TMESS IT UP THIS TIME! This will be the 3rd time in two years we’ve had a chance to tie or take over first place in two years and we struck out the first two times!

To be part of that we would have to win out and yes while Co-Champs we would have defeated two of the others and not played the other but we would have the best record of all of them and while CO we would definitely be considered the top dog.... These are the issues you deal with when you don’t take care of business against a very weak opponent (USA) when that opportunity arrives!

Well, they need to do that more often, especially with the white and silver helmets. Amen, those two need the power T in red and or black ( pref both)!

If Neal leaves, wouldn’t Vic get the chance at HC? Would anyone really want Vic as the head coach? Love him where he is, don’t mess that up!

What’s wrong with watching games being played PRIOR to our game. Every tailgate does it. That’s the beauty of game day. You can only stand and talk or eat so long. As long as they go to the game, I’m good with watching whatever game you like! When tailgating watch whatever you want. The only problem I've ever had with this is in the stadium club the few times I've been in there. I remember while TROY was on the field playing many were watching one of those state SEC schools on TV. Poor form in my opinion. If you are at a TROY game watch the Men of TROY battle. That's one of the reasons I will probably never do the stadium club. That and being fussed at for standing and cheering. I'll stay in 207. Now I ABSOLUTELY AGREE that when the Troy game kicks off ALL TV’s in the stadium club ought to be on TROY ONLY. That’s easy to understand and it floors me that we don’t follow that protocol up there!
