It happens every year. In late May, early June, temperatures begin to climb into the 90s. People are hot, restless, and irritable - some even begin a countdown to the first kickoff of the new season. It never fails that when these conditions arise, folks here get bored, competitive juices begin to flow in anticipation of the season, and the in fighting begins (well, it never really stops, it just slows down for a few months in the spring). Sometimes it's laughable, sometimes it causes me question why I subject myself to it.
That said, I'm ready for football so we can fight about about bubble screens and keyboard coaching decisions.

I agree. Cant we all come together and agree (The HC we don’t speak of) needs to win 8. 9 with a bowl win to stay. I will be there Sept 4 hoping that's the first win of many.

The only thing ChipDip NEEDS to do is pack his $hit and get out of Troy. There is no magic number for him now.

Sept 4th should be 54 to 3. if itâs not weâre in for a long day on September 11! We will know if we have any chance at a 10 win season or if (The HC we don’t speak of) will be packing his bags after The South Carolina Game!

I'm surprised we haven't gotten to the uniform combos/ player dress attire conversation yet.

I don’t care about uniform combos even if the videos are awesome! All I care about is winning! Players don’t come here to wear cool uniforms, they want to win!

Trojanmatt I am curious how old you are. I agree about the combos but I have talked to guys I know who are being recruited by teams and they are hooked on these things. Maybe it is just hooked on social media but I just found it strange it would even be on the radar? Unless you are talking Univ of Maryland and get nauseated easily. Also (in the for what is worth column) I think the Oregon unis suck with all that non sense. But I am old!

I love the uniforms and the uniform reveals however our play has not matched and no matter how good our uniforms are we will lose players if we donât win! I think the players are interested in the uniforms and the training facilities , which I think we have done a great job with both, however if we donât contend for a conference title and compete In the non conference games we will not recruit well! (The HC we don’t speak of) was handed all of the tools needed to win and so far it has been a bust! I hope this year is better for the Players and for him and also the fans!

That said the two most successful programs now play in two uniform combinations. Doesn't seem to hurt their recruiting because ultimately the two biggest things in recruiting is winning and playing for championships and player/coach relationships and program culture. If uniform combos was the main mark then Oregon would be Nat Champions every year Personally I would rather see this uniform money go into coaches salaries but I am old to

I think 4 uniforms is perfect! 1 solid Burgundy 1 solid black 1 solid white and 1 solid grey Get creative with the helmet , such as the patriotic Power T or the chrome dome! It saddens me when our players look great but aren’t being coached to Achieve success and our HC looks like a golf bum on the sidelines !

Not one of our school colors, that'd be a change of pace.

My downstairs room has the cardinal and the gray. I will need to look at the paint can, but it has a name (something like TSU ...) once they put the mixing codes in 👍🏼
