During the fan fare, they cut out Dixie. I’m not a fan. Political correctness be damned... it’s part of the half time show.

From what I understand it has nothing to do with political correctness.

It’s combining the old and the new Troy. Others can explain it better then I can but that’s the short answer.

Let's just set aside, momentarily, the issue of political correctness, the issue of mixing new with old, the issue ofdisrespecting Dr Long. Musically, the addition stinks. It sounds bad and it in now way flows with the rest of the Fanfare - neither rhythmically or melodically.

It was a tradition. Troy doesn't have many traditions but that was one. It was southern but not confederate. They can say whatever they want, it sure looks like they caved to the P.C. crowd.

Renaming buildings that no one even cared about till The Woke Movement. Dixie was written in 1859 (before the Civil War) by a Ohio composer. It was sung by both Union and Confederate Soldiers as it was a very popular song and both Armies sang a different version lyrically than the original. Abraham Lincoln played it at campaign events and at the news Of Lee's surrender. The song has nothing to do with Slavery. Get over it liberals

It may be time to add some new featured presentations such as "My Home's in Alabama" which became a staple in recent years at the Band Day performances. The Sound of the South has added so much to Troy football for so many years, I hope that tradition of excellence can continue for the next generation of Troy fans.

Well it was Bibb Graves when I attended 1986-90 and was Bibb Graves before I got there...so what is your definition of a while? I'm sure Wallace Drive, Armory, Wallace Library (wife) will be next and since Ralph Adams was friends with Wallace the Adams Building and Student Center name has to go to.

I have heard things since I started in 2003. And Adam’s wasn’t in the KKK like BG. Those other buildings besides library don’t belong to university but yes there has been a push amongst students and many locals to change the name of GW dr.

Wasn’t able to go to a game this year because of covid. I had to go to YouTube to check out the new fanfare. Not a fan either. It doesn’t sound right. I miss the old version and we shouldn’t have even entertained the idea of changing part of Troy’s tradition.
