On this board, any thread where at least two people don't suggest shuttering the program entirely has to be viewed as a positive one. We may not know what's happening with (The HC we don’t speak of), but gossiping about him has brought as all together. It's a Christmas miracle!

Here's a deal- if we somehow luck into a bowl, don't buy a ticket, don't watch it, and don't listen to it. We'll never talk to you about it. And we'll tell all the players Possum and troystet said they don't deserve a bowl and to just sit in their rooms and think about what they've done. Sound good?

If we had played ULM we would be 6-6. Is it the team's fault ULM couldn't play?

This thread is embarrassing. Troy fans scared of a potential game without even knowing who the opponent may be. That's not my Troy football. I don't think we're going to get the chance to play, but I'll stick with "anybody, anytime, anywhere" over "any excuse, any complaint, any whine".

Well, McNeil is gone (and will probably become the next Minshew) and JFree is just not our guy. Watson is ok but not QB1 unless he beats out Powell. I don’t know much about Toole and Hawkins. My money is on Powell...now. He has SEC experience (played in 12 games, 1 start) and played behind Drew Lock at Mizzou. I’m not sure what his progress has been like but Gavin Screws looked great on film when he signed. Gavin is long gone.

When early signing day is over (The HC we don’t speak of) will be over with. No more rumors Your rumors appear to corroborate the ones I'm hearing from the intersection of 29 and 231. That and $8 will get us a burrito at the Moe's on campus.

The ONLY upside to playing this game would be getting a guarantee big enough to buy out (The HC we don’t speak of)'s contract. That would be a big enough upside to take a 63-3 shellacking. We'll call it the "Waffle House Bowl" and we'll all go paint Athens Cardinal.

Hate to hear about Parker. I was impressed by him and wanted him to get a shot to show what he could do on the field. However, he apparently wasn't competing in practice.

Special teams wasn't putting the defense in bad positions. Jack was consistently one of the best punters I've ever seen at Troy. But if the offense gives it to the punt team on our own ten, there is only so much they can do.

If he can lead men in the Marines, a little Sun Belt football will be a cake walk. What a perfect addition to the team. I guarantee he is not going to suffer fools or put up with a lot of nonsense.

Since the SEC decided only conference games would be played, I don't think this is a possibility. Rules in 2020 are meant to be broken, Rev.

And if I can’t get you to take any Gordo, would you take some Re-form? Haha.

Nobody called you out in particular stet. You see the general negativity in this community. If you haven’t, trust me, it’s coming on this thread. The second someone challenges us to be a little more positive, everyone clutches their Troy bona fides and becomes indignant that you said anything at all.

I was in the Vet last night. Proud of the way we fought and the way we played. Most proud of the fans that actually got involved and made a huge difference. Not so proud of this board where a nail biting loss to a highly ranked team has been used as just another chance to talk about how bad we are. Sorry boys, but “We Suck” is not a personality. Larry once said “If you’re a Trojan, be a Trojan.” Some of y’all need a little more Gordo in your life.

An undefeated season would be no excuse for the shenanigans that have been going on over at Tine-Davis and Ho is a pretty lenient Ho too. I keep hearing this but still no explanation. I understand a message board is no place but as a former player, alumni and supporter it is concerning to hear this as it should be to all Troy supporters and Alumni. I don't think anyone wants to be the one to lay something out as most folks only have like 60-70% of the puzzle put together. I fought forest fires in Missouri ten years and 120 pounds ago and I never saw this much smoke where there wasn't a fire.

The posters on this board give other institutions 0 credit for wanting to play football games. Coastal is going to cancel cause they are banged up. ULM is going to cancel cause they fired their coach. It's turning into Troy-Anon in here.

Those bowl practices pay dividends- win, lose, or draw.

How in the world does the committee justify sending Ohio State into the playoffs? I really don't think they'll do that for the simple reason that Ohio State would get throttled by Alabama or Clemson and it would make their allowing the Buckeyes in look incompetent.

We have no reason to not want to play this game. In fact, we every reason to want to play it. If it comes out that we have too many positive tests to play, I would think that is 100% true. Just look at the way we've marched out on the field to play games with multiple folks (including multiple coaches) out due to COVID. We've shown no signs of running away from a fight.
And to be fair, neither has ULM. This board invented that cowardice for them. I don't think they'll look for a way out.

If they don't play it that will be the biggest black eye a football program could take. It would be forfeit unless they could hide it under COVID tests. Y'all expect a football program to just toss up their hands and say "no mas"? What about the honor and glory of the Duck People and Terry Bradshaw??? I expect any team to live up to their commitments and play the games they said theyd play. And if they don't, I'll never buy another ticket to sit in front of their storage containers turned luxury boxes.

I have a former player on my daughter's travel team that is finishing PT school at UCF and worked with the PT'S doing his rehab. She said he was a beast in his rehab and would play again...and sure enough. Great kid also Thanks for the inside scoop. No matter where he ends up, it's a great story of mind over matter and dedication through what must have been terrible pain. Good for him!

Compare Troy's track record to Vandy's and get back to me. Also, is Penn State really where you want to go right now? Perhaps James Franklin wasn't the best choice unless one win is what they were hoping for.
