Looks like WKU is going to wear white tops, per their Twitter or whatever it's called these days... And we haven't worn cardinal jerseys at home this year... So new cardinal tops??? Yes

It's a big inconvenience for everyone involved. Is it though? For everyone? Or is that just a broad generalization. As Mr. Oxygen states, teams have been filling stadiums for 11 am kicks for years!

Why are people making such a big deal about the 11 am start. I don't think it's a bad thing. Also, was it the school's decision or the Sun Belt's? (It wouldn't let me embed the tweet)

If they try to start the wave again in the first half(or at all) I’m going to lose it. Rather than wave cheer for the team! Awwww.....let's complain about kids standing up and cheering during a football game. Good lord The wave is not cheering

This is a question for those memories. When was the last time we played at home at 11am? I remember we played on Sportsouth at 11 1999 or 2000. Anyway they will let us sleep in the Vet? 2002 Against Utah State

This is a huge issue for the Jones family. As many of you know, I have a home game streak of 21 years right now. My daughter (senior year) has a cross country meet that morning an hour away from Troy. Pray for rain??? I will be reaching out to Brent Jones ASAP and reminding him to check with me before these kind of things happen again. They run in rain don't they?

How far is Parking lot 5 from the stadium. Me the fiancé are planning coming up Saturday for the game and bringing our 8month old. Trying to figure out if it’s easier to park near the stadium or will the shuttle buses from the hotels allow us to bring our daughter on the bus? It's very short hike. There is nothing on this campus that is far. I would park in lot 5. It's less than 1/2 mile. If that.

First time listening to y'all. Did a great job. The infamous Nick Duke article you refer to was when we were playing Georgia, not when we signed the contract. All it says was because he grew up a Georgia fan, he was going to pull for them and not Troy.
I don't believe the library has archives of those, but I will look and see if I can find it.

The ladies in our alumni watch party actually pointed it out. They noticed he now had a gut. As men, we told them that a sign of success and hard work. That he had a lot invested in that. Salute to you Jon Sumrall Look man, if you want to see HCJS without a shirt, just ask him. I’m sure he’ll get all sweaty for you. Funny story C***-related. I used to see he who shall not be named walk the track without his shirt on.

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! 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. Al Lucas’s is retired, but it must be unofficial

Anyone know if there's a D. Ware game jersey for sale in the bookstore and what it costs? I do know they are selling them in there when I walked through earlier but did not check price.

What dependency on China? We shut down the Confucius Institute. And maybe there have been meetings with Kimber, these things take time. Here comes lefty half truth. Yeah we shuddered the confucious institute after there could be no more denial that it was a center of espionage. We still have china embedded deep in the university. We accept fugazzi art all the time. This link will show you some of the china on campus. www.troy.edu/student-life-resources/arts-culture/international-arts-center/visit.html#zhuhow about let’s make a truce? I don’t want to get political. Im excited TROY football is back, you’re excited. Let’s agree on that.

I so wish they would just use the old fanfare. It is a few notes of a song…. Alas it will not happen but I wish we would have the capability to say we mean no offense and the notes made a famous fanfare famous along with the rest of it per Dr Long. In his honor we are bringing the original back and for no other reason than that an the obvious floundering attempts at “fixing a few note refrain” Sorry but NO to woke because we realize it was stupid and we as humans were and always will be stupid and do stupid and terrible things. So…..we are correcting one stupid thing! That’s right the remarkable fanfare is back because we are tired of being and doing stupid things. Sorry, but dealing with things on daily basis that our society does and impacts kids makes me want to curse… so let’s just fix one. I'm with the few on here that feel a change in administration is due. There are bad decisions (other than athletics, ADBJ is a stud) being made and opportunities missed. Our dependency on china needs to be done with. Why hasn't a deal been made to create the Kimber school or college of criminal justice? Why do we not have a state of the art physics laboratory where we do everything Kimber's money can pay for? Patriots have money too. What dependency on China? We shut down the Confucius Institute. And maybe there have been meetings with Kimber, these things take time.

My sister works at South (don't worry, she's a Troy fan) but sent me this earlier. Apparently they are making gameday shirts for each game and this is out. Not sure what smell the belt means??

There is a 4 episode miniseries about the Gators and there a couple of scenes from our game with them. I was at that game and I remember the game being closer than the scoreboard showed. Which time? The first one yes. The second one, no

I think everyone is going to be quite pleased with Gunslinger QB1. I’m hearing from my sources that he has become the definition of a Senior QB. I’m hearing his Attitude, Toughness, Discipline, and Love is at mentor level for underclassmen. Your sources or the interviews with Sumrall where he has said that exact thing

I work for a primary carrier and have been in this industry for 13 years. Troy was a customer of mine, along with Auburn, Huntington, and Tuskegee. An LTD micro-cell can support about 100-200 simultaneous data sessions. 5G is much more complicated to figure out. One carrier I worked for built lots of infrastructure for Auburn, as Auburn spends a ton on wireless. Troy doesn’t pay much with carriers, especially compared to other schools. Many private HBCUs spend 10x what Troy does on cellular solutions (for various other reasons). I wouldn’t count on VZ and AT&T to support these projects as they are in cost-cutting mode. DAS projects are costly. A solution for the stadium would cost around 600-800k. Private DAS companies offer free solutions for businesses or government entities and then charge the carriers to lease them. Unfortunately, this is more common with venues such as airports with traffic 365 instead of 6 times a year. Cows and Colts (Cell on Wheels and Cell on Light Trucks) will likely not solve this, depending on the backhaul. A Verizon COW is useless after, say, 50 users. These were great solutions in the past, but now that everyone lives streams everything 24/7, they have become less reliable. An active DAS system would cost around 800k. Carriers would do this for free in exchange for a few thousand active service lines from the school, which is more expensive than 800k over the contract term. Interestingly enough, my current company has a solution that can broadcast cellular over wifi infrastructure, but we would need wifi broadcast in the stadium. Ok, so. "Barn fans can attend an Aubie football game and Live-stream a Troy broadcast, Troy fans are limited to watching the Troy Game, except in Stadium Club?? Leave it alone Jack , not worth the $$. It's not just that. I just like even looking at live stats during the games and can't even access those.

The problem also exists at basketball games, so I don’t think it’s only an issue of exceeding the capacity of the network. I’m sure mKing the infrastructure upgrades needed to provide quality internet would be VERY pricey. I’ve never had the issue at basketball like at football

What can NCAA do? There hands are basically tied and as soon as they to do try something, the blue bloods would have no problem with up and leaving to create their own entity for football. Let them. We are in a competitive conference and at The Vet, you see better football. If they do that, it won't be good for us and the rest of our peers.

I don't like a lot of things about NIL, but I don't like anything about our national government getting into NCAA business Nothing about this gives me the warm fuzzies either. But, where there is NO REGULATION, Uncle Sam is willing to "help". Totally on the NCAA for lack of a plan. What can NCAA do? There hands are basically tied and as soon as they to do try something, the blue bloods would have no problem with up and leaving to create their own entity for football.
