Zach long committed to Bowling Green… weird I watched Troy play there once. The stadium was junk. A downgrade for Zach.

Adios. Honestly I don't care that guys leave because it's all business these days. This is why Gunnar is the GOAT though. Hopefully HCGP can bring in some pieces and keep this thing rolling. Mike Turk is The GOAT.

Caleb Ransaw and Derrick Graham have entered Graham just scored a touchdown. Tell me what other school is going to give big man the ball. We could have run the Refrigerator Perry play with him in the redzone.

Here's what I am tripping on. For those of you that are skeptical about HCGP, is that going to prevent you from buying tickets, gear, or donating?

I’m sold on Parker, but he wasn’t on my top 3. My top 5 were: Neal Brown Larry Blakeney Jon Sumrall Rick Rhoades Chan Gailey So three retired coaches and two with current HC jobs? It’s Christmas. It’s my fantasy. All the coaches on my list are in their prime.

It would take a lot to convince me we hired Parker because we really, really wanted to; meaning that he was in the 1) spot on that list Brent Jones keeps in his pocket. Or even in the top ten. Or was even ON the list until we burned through those who actually were on it and now we were down to the bottom of the barrel of who was left to pick from. It still makes zero sense to me. The only thing it seems he had going for him was he was in the camp of Brown and our last head coach. There was not anyone anywhere in the college football world who saw this Crazy Ivan move coming. And the reaction wasn't "WOW! Didn't expect that but now that we see it, WOW!" No, instead the reaction was MUCH the same as when we hired Fester. The faithful remnant swallowing hard, keeping it positive while keeping their reservations to themselves, and saying, "well, let's get behind it and hope for the best" and the OTHER faithful remnant scratching their heads and going "Really?...Seriously?...What just happened?" So, trouble hiring a coach at Troy? Yeah, I think that's definitely more than plausible. Are there a lot of coaches who would love to come to Troy? Sure! Are there a lot who would settle for what Troy has to offer when it's time to talk business? Well, I believe apparently not or someone else would be coaching at Troy. It is said that Texas A&M leaked Stoops name early before it was official to run it up the flagpole for the fanbase and see the reaction. The reaction was very sour and offer was withdrawn. We are not TX A&M. So we have to settle for a PR campaign from previous coaches and others to try to cajole support for our hire when the reaction from many has again been, "really?...seriously?...what just happened? Make a "pros" wishlist of what you would want in a head coach and compare that to the actual pros list we're getting with Parker and it would in NO way be an inspiring exercise. We have trouble hiring the coach we want at Troy. We have no trouble hiring any coach we can get at Troy. Even if this one seems like a Troy-Kinda-Guy. I’m not following your logic. What are you basing this conclusion off of that he was not the #1 pick? Who would you have had in your top 3? I’m sold on Parker, but he wasn’t on my top 3. My top 5 were: Neal Brown Larry Blakeney Jon Sumrall Rick Rhoades Chan Gailey

I disagree. Anyone who wants to be a head coach and make millions should be stalking CJH and ADBJ. Troy is a gateway to millions.

When you can take your pick of coaches and staff from teams in your own conference, you know you are at the top.

I said nothing close to that crap I don’t want a “kinda guy”,I want loyal,hard working ,dedicated 200% Men of Troy.Don’t want transfer portal players ready to jump at the thought of greener pastures. I think that's what XHCNB wanted as well. He wanted to develop players from Frosh forward. There are some folks on the WVU boards that get what he is doing there. He builds programs the right way. I'm with you man, I want the same thing for Troy.

It's around 120 days until T Day. Too early to pack the GDAV (Game Day Assault Vehicle)?

I’m headed back to the hotel and I’m disappointed with the loss but all things considered 11 and three is a lot better than we were three years ago and four years ago and five years ago! Referees certainly did not help but I’ve always said you have to play better in order to not let the referees influence the game! With that said, I had a nice conversation with Gary Wilbert and I will up my commitment in 2024 to support program even more than I did in the past and I hope all of you will as well. Reality is that GP will either be here two or three years because he will not succeed or he will be here two or three years, because someone else will pay him more money! That is just the reality, and we need to except that and create a program that can survive changes! As I see it, APP has been an incredible program in the SBC and they have been able to withstand many coaching changes and JMU is a TBD! Marshall has a Great heritage, but had they not made a bowl they would have been more than likely making a change. Now that the bowl game is over let’s get on board and see what happens for 2024 ! Maybe it will fail but maybe just maybe we will three-Peet! Cry Hacoc! Gary so good he just mugged a guy and the guy feels great about it.

Now that the game is over, who do we want to be retained that isn’t already been named? Brock Hayes, Bam, McKissack, Banks I'll take Vidal, Lewis, and that one majorette I like.

The "Aww Shucks" brigade is alive and well I see. You’re right, it is never ok to lose. I’m just not upset about losing with all of the challenges this time. BUT THE TROY CREED IS IT IS NEVER OKAY TO LOSE. I’m off my game today.

2023 was a wonderful season. I’m so proud of our team. I don’t give a chunky S about losing today. I’m proud they played through all the drama and the sickness. God Bless everyone.
