I used to hate the Sun Belt, but by the time of Realignment and MUTS, WKU, and the F_U's left, I thought we'd built up a nice regional conference. If we could poach So. Miss. and LA. Tech from CUSA, we could have a great conference with theset up we have now.

Smallest school in smallest market in the conference. As Rodney Dangerfield said. " No Respect" Moscow, Idaho is a bigger market than us? Some people probably think it's in Russia.

Is it just me or does it seem like the SBC hates us? I can never spot any of our athletes in any of the commercials. Just want to know if I'm the only one bothered by this.

Our helmet is gorgeous, but I don't understand why it looks like crap when it's 2D. Same elements are there, but it just looks bush league.

It doesn't help us until all G5 conference Champs are guaranteed a spot. That only comes via a 16 team playoff.

Thanks, Hemi. I honestly was confused about that. It is impressive what we did with what we had.

In the presser today, Coach Brown mentioned that we were operating on reduced scholarships of around 70-75. Did I miss us getting sanctions? Or was this mismanagement by Blakeney's staff?

What is there to be bitter about? We OWNED them. I'm not bitter about them. I just said I never think about them lol. Bitter about that last game lol. I'll live tho Why bitter about the last game? That was my first Troy game. We beat them soundly and got the Ol'School Bell.

I'm not happy with the way we played vs stAte and GS. Believe it or not, I'm more upset about the way we played today than against stAte. There is no reason for what happened today. That said, I am pleased, overall, with this season and the things we saw. I'm pleased with the improved effort, the improved execution, the improved discipline...I'm just pleased. 9-3 is nothing to sneeze at. OK, I've addressed this season, and specifically the end of it. Now let me address next season. I want to be the first to go on record and say that, barring some major disaster such as a string of season ending injuries to half our starters in fall camp, I will be extremely unhappy with anything less than a conference title next year. That is the final step in our return to glory. We are ready to take it, and take it we must. Let's decompress over the off season and get ready to dominate the 'Belt as it has never been dominated before. We can and we must. We are, after all, TROJANS....one and all. Conference title, 10 wins with one over LSU.

Now I just want Texas State to pull out a miracle so ASU can't have the championship either.

I'm proud of these players and this staff, but this season has modified expectations for this team. I for one am no longer complacent with 7 or 8 win seasons. We have show we can compete at a high level.......apparently so long as we aren't on national tv or in a blackout. This season has shown me we can be the team I've always seen us as since I become a Trojan.

I'm telling you, a 10-2 Troy is worth something. There will be strings pulled behind the scenes by Karl and company to get us in a bowl none of us are thinking about. I'm going out on a limb and making plans to be in Nashville, Memphis or Charlotte. As for Charlotte, remember the ACC said "we will not play our conference championship game in North Carolina because we think everyone in the world should use any toilet in the world and it's not fair that North Carolina makes people use the toilet of their gender" or something along those lines. Anyway, with that being said... HOW CAN THEY ALLOW A MEMBER OF THE ACC TO PLAY IN THE VERY STADIUM THEY PITCHED A FIT ABOUT??? Troy vs SEC Belk Bowl, Charlotte NC... BOOM!!! That'd be amazing...which SEC team would fall here in the pecking order as far as number wise because I realize the SEC championship has to be played first. My wife may leave me after it, but give me Auburn. We can totally outscore Daniel Carlson.

Remember that game Troy football flushed this past week? On national TV? It's a point of reference...we're starting over, in a way, but it won't take that much doing if we win next week and impress in whatever bowl we're in... We stunk it up on ESPNU. Nown we have a shot for redemption on ESPN2. Let's blow the doors off GASO and, to steal their thing, GATA.

SDSU gets votes and they lost to USA. Popularity contest But, but they have Pomphrey and aren't in the perceived worse conference in FBS.

Any idea why the game was changed? Did another game fall through for that time slot?

I sent them a thank you tweet. It shows at least two still have confidence in us as a Top 25 team.

Lord we have 5 non win season and now everyone is complaining because we didn't go 9-1. I'm so pleased with the season this far, but why shouldn't we be upset we came out flat and lost a shot at 9-1? Brown has instilled a winning mentality in this team over the last two seasons. The bar for Trojans of the future has permanently been raised. 7-8 wins and a hopeful bowl are not satisfactory anymore. We've shown we can do more and we have to continue to march on.

But we are still on pace for our best season since 1995 and putting ourselves in great position for next year. Tomorrow I will still wake up a Trojan and that is the best thing that I could wake up as. Go Troy Go! Cry Havoc, let slip the dogs of war and March on, Trojans!
