Weather should be fantabulous according to Norm and he suggests that the opening part of the fanfare be the beginning of “YMCA” by the Village People.

Willis is a special talent. The practice squad is important whoever is going to mimic him in practice. I'm not sure if KJ or Carlton will be assigned to spy him during the game. That will be a huge task. I feel we have better depth to do that. The dual threat QB has been a bugaboo for Troy in the past. We have been able to handle most of them under Brandon Hall. The Southern QB was a dual threat guy. MTSU's QB was as well. We've been able to keep Georgia Southern's QBs contained pretty well. None of them are as good as Willis, but our scheme seems to do ok versus those types of offenses. True. My thought was more of Ga state. 3rd downs will be huge in this game

Randy Cross just picked Troy as his upset special on CBS sports channel college football. I hope he is right this week too

Possum take that negative energy and turn into positive by going all in on the women's team. Chanda Rigby, her staff and her teams are WINNERS. You have every right to feel the way you do about our Football coach and program.
Just saying - you are a true trojan so take the money you were spending on a winning football program and spend it on a winning womens basketball program. I promise you the money will be put to good use.
To make it fun - If you will give me Troy +14 I will take that bet - if I win, you dress as Coach (The HC we don’t speak of) for Halloween and if I lose, I donate the Benjamin to the charity of your choice. No money at risk for you, but your favorite charity gets a donation if you win.
Let me know ;-)

Does he have to shave his head? How has our secondary improved? To me this is a big question mark! When we have lost in year 1 and 2 under (The HC we don’t speak of) it seemed that we gave up a lot of big plays!

No - he does not have to shave his head. Our secondary was really bad year 1 - really bad. They were better last year. Not by a ton but they were better and not as deep. We do have some depth now.
I do think this defense can be very good.

I know Liberty played a pretty weak schedule last year... but they still beat Syracuse, Virginia Tech, and almost beat NC State last season... they smacked Southern Miss... they beat Coastal Carolina in a bowl game... they have a sought after coach in Hugh Freeze... and they have one of the best QB's in the country.
I just don't understand why the line has gone down in favor of Troy and why so many people sports prognosticators are picking Troy to win?

“Unfortunately, it’s not where I want us to be,” he [Freeze] said of the offense. “We have not sustained any type of execution with intensity throughout practice. That doesn’t mean we’re not a good offense or not going to be a good offense. In order to improve, there is a standard to which you have to practice and hold everybody to that standard.” “It’s almost like we have some arrogance about us. I don’t mean that we have a bunch of individuals that are arrogant. I mean it’s almost like the success we’ve experienced offensively has subconsciously made a group feel like, ‘Well, you know we will get to the game and one of our coaches will call the right play at the right time, or one of our athletes will run around and make a play, and we will find a way.’ Having that confidence that you will find a way is a good thing, but I’ve coached long enough to know that if you are not preparing the right way, and you are letting other things capture your focus other than the way we prepare, that’s a dangerous mentality and situation to put your self in, particularly playing the schedule with people like Troy on it.” www.aseaofred.com/5-things-to-know-from-hugh-freezes-thursday-press-conference-troy/

had a Liberty fan coming to the game tomorrow and he had to back out - told me he was hedging a bit but it appears they have been hit by covid Here is the message below: "Already hedging as I am hearing we have some key players out with Covid 😊. Heard yesterday that Liberty has more cases right now than all of the VA colleges combined. BUT – I will be watching on ESPN+ wishing I was there watching the game. Have fun.

I have a student follow me two to three half days a week and his brother in law teaches at Liberty. I am only repeating what he told me this AM that they quarantined some dorms at Liberty. Hopefully see ya all tomorrow. Also with 4 injuries and maybe some out Covid hate it for them but at least they will try instead of forfeit
