Very interesting that the press didn't look forward and ask about Troy. They seemed stuck on the Iowa State game.

He did call us Troy State. To be fair though, he coached against us twice I think when we were Troy State. I talk to a lot of old timers, and to them we will always be Troy State. Nothing to be ashamed about being called Troy State. We were that a LOT longer than we've been Troy University. Both were/are great names reminding us of great times! As I stated earlier, he needs to get with the times. If you even have the slightest amount of respect for a program you at least get the name right. I get that he played us when we were Troy State but that was sometime ago. When he watches film on us (which he should've already done at that point) no where near us is the words Troy State.

I have a wish list for the game this weekend.
On Defense. I would like 2 sacks. I would like 1 takeaway. I would like two 3 and out series.
On Offense I would like 1 passing TD I would like 1 Chunn TD up the middle. The kind where the linebackers don't even try. "Him again... nah you tackle him." I would like 1 Henderson TD full of razzle dazzle I would like 1 Anderson TD and I want him to knock somebody over doing it. I would like ZERO sacks.
Special Teams I would like 1 highlight quality tackle I would like 1 demonstration of amazing return speed. I would like 100% PAT
That is a start anyway.

Hey guys, Akronfan here. Don't get upset that Terry got your school name wrong. He says incorrect things all the time. He called Jatavis Brown, the best player we've had in a decade, Jah-tay-vee-us for 4 years. He's not much of a linguist.
Anyway, hopefully you will take us behind the woodshed and give us a stern paddling to put another nail in Bowden's coffin. I hate to root against my Zips, but we need to move on from this guy.
Go Trojans!
I'm kidding. I want the best of both worlds though. I want the Zips to win and Bowden fired too.
Go Zips!

I just looked up Bowden's record at Akron and it is not good. The reason I ask about recruiting is I wonder if his lack of success is recruiting, coaching, or both? With Troy under Brown, we have had really good recruiting which is really hard for us having two big money football schools (Auburn and Bama) in our state as well as two other group of 5 schools in competition for players. G5 schools really have to find that diamond in the rough player. Anyway, if yall do make a change at coach, I hope yall get a good recruiter.

Bowden has always recruited lots of transfers. When at UNA his roster had a huge amount (maybe close to half?) of transfers.Zips roster now has 11 Division 1 transfers as well.Hard to create a good team culture doing this imo.

If you look back at Blakeney's history, he was able to create a lot of good teams with DI transfers and JUCO transfers. It's all about the players and how they are able to gel. It can be done.

My prediction is that this will be the game where the Silvers Bullet shakes off the last of the offseason rust and comes alive. 48-14, Men of Troy.

They didn't talk game much. They hit on Terry's history and differences in football in general between Ohio and Alabama. I think we get a W.

JUCO is different than D1 transfers.Akron has 11....please show me the Blakeney roster that has 11+ D1 transfers straight into Troy.While at UNA Bowden had a roster full of everybody else's headaches from bigger schools.Once again....not talking JUCO

I'm pumped up! I missed the AState game cause of Irma but I'm there this week. I just finished separating this weeks tickets from the sheet. It is so dang fun! You try to be careful to keep the ticket looking pristine.. (although it will ride around the pocket all night with a few crumpled up dollars and a receipt from the bookstore). New seats for me this season.. bench back under the upper deck on the aisle. I'm gonna love the freedom of hitting the concession and restroom without having to think about it when I pass by folks in the row.. "Who gets my butt in their face and who gets the front?". See yall there tomorrow!
