We can either fold up and lose out or win the west and see App again and see what happens! I have no problem with the playcalling only the SBC officiating and the fact that our defense did not execute on the last play!

Count your blessings, count them one by oneâ¦

The bald headed dumb A**âs regime will take time to remedy. Troy football will return and will return in a gallant manner. Just be patient, my three hilled brothers.

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 Did this coaching staff take over in August? Man if they had been here last spring or this summer, think where we would be!

I don’t post much since I’m just an old fossil that goes back to watching Troy football since 1966 when I was a kid and my parents were on faculty. I’ve seen Troy lose at least a couple of dozen games like this over the years. Every single time it sucked. Every single time. I don’t question the end zone 2 as much as I’m puzzled by the squib kick. Either way, it doesn’t matter. We were just another bug on the windshield today like we’ve been on occasion before. There’s nothing wrong with being pi$$ed about this outcome. I’m sure our players and staff are as well. To paraphrase F Scott Fitzgerald, don’t confuse a loss with defeat. Today was just a loss, not a defeat. Appy survived Troy, but didn’t defeat Troy.

Captain Flint here. *Heartwrenching loss. No words. *As always, very interesting comments. *Love the passion on here. Regardless on your thoughts. *Please stop posting that people shouldn’t post on here just because you disagree with their opinion. Fine to disagree but don’t tell not to post. *Tough call by the coach. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t. *One decision that I personally disagree with is the decision to squib kick it. At that point real estate is the most important. *Troy has a lot of talent !! *Watson was good most of the game. Had some obvious misses. But he played well to win. Took a lot of sacks. Will have to accept that with his limited mobility *IMO the only reason this season is a failure is if we don’t make a bowl.

*IMO the only reason this season is a failure is if we don’t make a bowl. The rest of your post was fine. Above is what I disagree with, it's a failure for a good bit more than that. Will Troy get better? Maybe, probably. Does Sumrall still have this one to bear? Absolutely! We don't pretend that Larry Blakeney didn't blow any games. We don't pretend that Neal didn't give us some frustrating head-scratchers. This is Sumrall's, and he needs to remember it.

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. If you went for it I didn’t get it you guys would want him fired tomorrow. not me. I would’ve supported that too. Why? Because I believe what I’ve seen from HCJS shows we are headed in the right direction.

Difference in our two programs. App went in and beat the #6 team in the country and still found a way to beat us a week later. That in itself is something we have never been able to do. From beating Missouri in 2004 and losing the next week, 2007 Ok St and then losing next week, to being ranked in and getting blown out the next week, to beating LSU and then getting beat by South. I will give them their dues on that and this game will hereby be known as the " CRAP AT APP "

This loss should hurt. When you are disappointed in something you care about it is painful. Is the sky falling? no. Will the sun come up tomorrow? If it doesn't I'm good. If it does I'm good. I've been around Troy sports for 35 years. My 1st game was the 87 championship game. There have been great wins and tough losses. I'll be there next week cheering just as hard as I did today. Sure we get frustrated when we lose. If we go 1-11 I'll be right there at the Vet hoping we win. If you love Troy you'll be there if you dont that's okay too. For me I'll be there. The thundering turds are in for a whooping. Go Troy!!

Would you pick today or December 3 for the championship? We now know we can win. I think we go the rest of the season with no brakes!
