I still believe in Sumrall, heâs better than that bald headed idiot. Yâall remember that we still have the bald headed idiotâs recruits. Be patient. The disaster of the bald headed idiot will take time to remedy.
(The HC we don’t speak of) Lindsay was the worst thing that happened to Troy football since it started. It will take time to recover.

Then get your pads on and play or better yet apply to be the coach numb nuts. See there we go with the name calling!I never once name called anyone on here.there’s always one A$$ (YOU) who has to start it.you weren’t on the field either dumba$$! That’s why I’m supporting instead of calling the coach boneheaded which is name calling.

Must not have been anything like a locker room I was in… I appreciate your service, seriously. But let’s be honest and agree that there are major differences in sports and in the military. One of them being the fact that moral victories indeed do exist, in certain situations. Definitely a heartbreaking and gut-wrenching loss, but being a second away from winning on the road vs the conference front runner will inspire belief. If you could have kept them from losing I’m sure they have a place for you to submit a job application. You’ve obviously never played the game or been a part of a locker room. Keeping a game like that close after 3 years of getting your teeth kicked in can surprisingly still improve morale. Stay in your dungeon and behind your keyboard and go cheer for the tide. I have been a part of a locker room and I’ve been part of a bigger team in the military,there is no such thing as a moral victory and 99% of the time a close loss is filled by getting blown out.In fact losing like that makes you feel like you can’t win even playing over your head!

It's good to see so many people CARE about watching this team again and complain about how dumb our coaches and players are. For the previous 3 years, we did have coaches who didn't care (and IMO were dumb) and players who weren't a team. This season is already looking to be like Neal's first season...probably even a little better. This was a fantastic game, and it was the lucky day for App St. I thought the safety call was a good call, because it certainly takes away the possibility of a blocked punt or a punt run back. Kick-offs are easier to cover that punts, so I can see why Coach JS went this direction. It was just App State's lucky day, and probably their Cinderella season. But to the point someone already made, Troy is in the West Division, and I now think we have a great chance to win the West, and meet them again in the Championship game. This is a good team, that has a lot of heart and a lot of will, so I think they will have a better season than I initially considered.
One other thing I noticed today, which has been a peeve of mine for years...receivers were going to the first down marker on their routes when it was a 3rd down conversion play. So many time the past few years receivers would make their cuts before the marker and we end up a yard or two short and have to punt. There's good coaching going on this year, and Troy will return to the Championship level. It probably won't be this season, but I do think we have the chance to compete favorably for it next year.

We went on the road and played a tough team without one of our best players, and we nearly pulled it off. I find more reasons to be encouraged than downcast.

The ball was on the 11. We would’ve punted out of the middle of the end zone with 25 seconds left. Botched snap, blocked punt, many things could happen. Snap to Gunnar. Take the safety but run 5 seconds off the clock before taking the safety. Now your kicking from the 20 off of a tee. Much safer play bc you’re kicking anyway. Able to flip the field. Now 20 seconds on the clock. Makes sense to me. Give the defense their best shot to win the game! Playing to win. That’s my take. Logic is forbidden here....

Honestly thought we had this one. Embarrassed by the Safety! No explanation for that. Poor clock/game management. Weâll definitely get some publicity this week. Had nothing to do with the bald coach, nothing to do with culture. We could have beat that team! Defensively we were better last year. We need to win next week, until then Iâll stay off Social Media. Whoop up on Marshall!!!

Everyone saying, "The safety didn't matter." You're exactly right! The safety didn't matter!
The (lack of) coverage? That's coaching, which is on Sumrall.
Not batting the ball? Coaching. Sumrall.
Celebrating before the play was over (at least I saw that)? Coaching. Sumrall.
So yeah, maybe it IS on Sumrall after all.

I love John Sumrall and so very glad that he (and not some of the idiots from this board) is the head coach of the Troy Trojans. He'll lead these student athletes toward being great men and better for having known him. Thank you, Coach Sumrall for the work you're doing!

I am amazed, yet somehow, at the same time, not surprised at how many people have jumped on here this afternoon to jump on the team, the staff, and the program. This loss sucks. We could have won it, but there weren't more than a handful of posters on this board that thought we had a chance. We were all hopeful but not optimistic. After all we've been through the last 3 seasons, to have watched this game today and not see that improvements have been made across the board is, to me, unfathomable. We look like a football team. We fought our butts off. we also lost a game we should have wound it sucks. We are, however, light years better than we have been anytime since the final game of 2018 and this team has a great chance of finishing the season with 2-3 wins more than most experts predicted. It's a long way to December, let's not stroke out prior to then. Trust me, there's not a neuro critical care bed to put you in.

If you went for it I didn’t get it you guys would want him fired tomorrow.

I'm going to say it: We were robbed. We were robbed by 2 seconds added on after the Squib kick ! No holding call on the last play. App is the darling of the SBC and we are not going to get that call. Also offensive pass interference before the ball was touched. Bottom line is we lost and the entire nation thinks we are clowns because our coach did what any other coach should’ve done by running the clock down as much as possible . HCJS coached a great game and the defense did not knock the ball down or intercept 1 play earlier! This one hurts more than any game I can remember but we will be back! Let’s go and beat Marshall and shut all the haters up!

As HCJS says, "so what, now what?" I saw enough tonight to know we are moving in the right direction. One thing I love about this staff is it has balls. Going for it on 4th down, etc. Lots of energy and leadership from the staff to the players. Another good thing is the halftime and on the fly adjustments. We had neither last season. This is team is well conditioned, and becoming well coached. The staff will deal with this loss the right way, and the team will be better for it. This is only the beginning. #TMTDM
