That rewritten Fanfare just don't move me. Johnny Long, RIP! The new "fanfare" is horrible. They also stopped playing Are You From Dixie because someone, somewhere, *may* complain. Nothing about either of those songs were racial but they were changed. I wonder if someone complained or was the Administration trying to get ahead of a problem that didn't exist?I'm sure it was this

Tis odd. Not the uniâs but like it did not happen last year? Just out of curiosity would like to know. Perhaps it is simply that band is truly post CC now! Covid and (The HC we don’t speak of) Figuring many were not there last year to see them or were distracted yelling at Captain Bedpan ((The HC we don’t speak of)) They actually had the new uniforms in 2020, but with Covid they didn't march, so they didn't debut them until last year. I had a step-son who just finished up his 4 years in band, so I kind of had an inside scoop on it.

They wore the new uniforms last year. This is old news. Not sure why WSFA did this story and Walker agreed to it, except for maybe PR purposes, knowing they had already been used a season.

Both have earned the interview and I believe both would be good. Though I am wondering if their gender has more to do with it for Stet than age and experience. Neither matters if you got it you got it if you don't ya don't Like I said, we will see how the season plays out. Both are young to be a D1 HC and gender has nothing to do with it. Personally I think we need a older coach and someone from outside but If Brent thinks a 25 or 29 year old is the right fit so be it and I will support that decision Just beat NC State 7-0 for their 4th win over a Power 5 team this year. Not bad for a couple of young up and coming coaches.

Hoping for the best for Coach Mullins but I have some serious concerns about the young assistant coaches running the program I don't think there is much to concern us with this early. We have already have one walk off win, and an extra innings win against UAB so, so far so good.

They pulled the trigger on mediocrity? Whose next? They also waited 7 years to do it. I hope we don't wait that long.

Is there anything that could be done to have the Sound of the South reconsider their decision to cut Are You from Dixie and restore the original fanfare? As far as I know there were no complaints and they were only small melodies in the song not the entire song itself. I really don't get this "political correctness" thing because you do something to avoid offending some people at the expense of others. For example, I know a lot of the churches in Troy were offended that the University began selling beer at Veterans Memorial Stadium but they were pretty much told to go pound sand. If that's the logic then why can't we do the same with two songs? It's not hurting anyone and it's a Troy tradition I rather enjoy. You can almost bet that "DEAR LEADER" or mostly, his wife, had something to do with the change. However, they did wait until Dr. Long passed before they made the change and it SUCKS!! Walker has let the band slip in my opinion.

We need to recruit some better pitchers, or either find a new pitching coach. I know Matt Hancock helped make Levi Thomas great, but Levi Thomas was pretty good from the get-go TBH. I haven't been impressed with the pitching at all this year, especially considering the depth we have at that position. We're currently #10 of 12 in the SBC in opponent batting average. We do have Orel Hershiser's nephew on the team. Maybe we could hire Orel as pitching coach.

From the Faculty-Senate-Minutes from 4-23-2018 found on the Troy Website: The Trojan Fitness Center is under construction. The project was driven by students who voted to add $100 per term to student bills in order to build it. Had to laugh. That is the equivalent of Congress. We would like it and the tax payers (Mommy and Daddy) will pay it. Yep. Pretty much.

So if we lose tonight, does that mean that everyone is going to start calling for his job?

Sure more inspiring than (The HC we don’t speak of) but that isn't saying a lot We finally agree on something.... He will be gone before (The HC we don’t speak of).

One way I can tell that (The HC we don’t speak of) hasnât connected with the students and the fan base in general is the lack of #SouthHateWeek tweets, etc. Just an observation. All I will say is look at Scott Cross' Twitter feed and you will see the fire for TROY we want from (The HC we don’t speak of). If Coach Cross is successful, I give him two years and he will be gone.

I was watching some of the replays from the game Saturday and got to thinking, does Carlton Martial remind anyone else of another #2 who used to reek havoc on opposing offenses? Of course I am referring to Boris Lee. Carlton seems to me to be about the same size and is as fast, if not faster, than Boris. It's fun to see him be around the ball play after play. If he can keep this up, I think our defense is in good hands. All we need now is for us to find a Bear Woods to complement him.

Not sarcasm, well maybe a little. Just haven’t seen the normal posting that happens around spring practice. Just seems no one cares since Neal Brown left. It’s kinda sad.

No one is going to be there because no one likes (The HC we don’t speak of) and the staff.

So any guesses who the next " AD What's His Name" will be? One intriguing name might be Overton at Kennesaw St. Was Associate AD at Alabama and worked at Tex A&M also. Kennesaw won the A-Sun All Sports Trophy also. Who knows? Probably from a SEC school I'm guessing Sandy Atkins anyone?

Looks like they are getting ready to start on the new fitness center. Whaley's has almost got the fence up around the parking lot and a trailer for the office in the corner. Troy just continues to grow!
