first I never said any of our losses were good losses - they are behind us - I am trying to focus on what's ahead of us The loss vs. South - we played poorly on offense but our special teams were even worse - but that game is behind us Again, let's focus on what is in front us - and help these young men get it done losses not spelled loses - but I make a lot of typo's so I let that one slide And last but not least - I have to accept our two losses because, well, we lost - never said I liked it - geezzzzzzzz! You said quote " we are 8-2 with one loss a good loss and one a ugly loss".

Then I stand corrected - not what I meant but it is what I said - so fair enough I will say I don't accept mediocrity I also believe winning the sunbelt is not mediocre I also believe 11-2 should we finish that way is not mediocre

I love the scenario game as much as anyone. We are 8-2 with a good loss and an ugly loss. However, we have the opportunity to realistically get to 11-2. I would ask that as we grind out the last few weeks of this football season - let's focus our energy on this Troy Trojan team. Post positive on Twitter and share every positive post - and that goes for other forms of social media as well. Goal #1 - Beat Texas State - bring a friend or three to the game and get loud - lot of days to shop Goal #2 - Travel to Jonesboro. If we beat Texas State, when we beat Texas State - do whatever you have to do to get to Jonesboro. We will be playing for at least a share of the title and further, an opportunity to make sure AState does not even get to SHARE in the title. It would be great to have a couple thousand fans in Jonesboro. That game will be tough and our team could use the energy (and someone in the know, make sure our pep band at least - makes the trip). One of my favorite games was Southern Miss last year - our fans fueled our team! Our wins have been ugly, pretty and that one Baton Rouge beautiful. I don't care how we win the last two. Let's just be energetic, enthusiastic and loud about how proud we are of our Trojans! Let's get it Men of Troy! Cry Havoc! # 1. No loss is a good loss#2 both our losses were ugly. We stunk up the place offensively both games Unless one is speaking theologically, good is a relative term. If you don't believe it's better to lose some games than others (therefore good losses), watch what happens to the CFP rankings as "resumes" are considered and NCAA Basketball rankings and tournament servings are set with consideration to RPI. That said, I'm never happy when we lose, we should be 10-0 at this point and both of those losses were ugly. But to say that losing to Boise has the same impact on how this team is viewed by the football world and that it's not worse that we we lost to USA is to deny reality. I get your point that no loss is desired, but some loses are worse than others, therefore, some losses are "good" by comparison.

Valid points and I understand what you are saying. I just had a high school coach who quoted Lombardi all the time. His two favorites were " winning isn't everything, it's the only thing" and " close only counts in horseshoes and dancing". You strive for perfection in everything and by striving for perfection you attain greatness. Coach Rhodes at Troy was that way " do everything the right way". Strive for perfection and achieve greatness i.e. The 1987 Team

#1. No loss is a good loss #2 both our losses were ugly. We stunk up the place offensively both games Ole Negative Nancy. I think he missed the point of this thread. Not surprised.

You accept losing, I don't. No loss is a "good" loss. Fact You’re whiny. Nothing more or less. Pot calling kettle....

I know exactly what you are talking about. I miss playing all those teams, but honestly I like the teams in our conference. I think with the teams in the SBC, we have an opportunity to be at the top of the G5.

If I was King, I'd steal SouMiss and move UT- Chatt up. That would be a perfect conference from both a competition and geographic footprint standpoint.

My thoughts on non conference schedule. 1 SEC team 1 MAC ASU ( Would even play them in the Cramton Bowl alt years) and UAB. Wouldn't mind playing Jax St again either.

I would love to see us play UCF again but IMO you will never see a Home and Away with them. They have a arrogance about them that is sickening.

I’m good with neutral site games as long as we aren’t giving up a home game.

Southern is up on South 31-0 at the half. We should be sitting a not so pretty 10-0 but I'll take 8-2.
