What really sucks is App managed the trifecta today. 1) they got college game day in Boone 2) got the win 3) got the Sports Center #1 play that will get played over and over If we could only win one... 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! Well at least South Alabama out boneheaded us with a fake field goal attempt that led to UCLA beating them by one so I feel better now.

Not "Look how hard Troy played and how close they got!", it's, "Boy, App sure can do no wrong!" And as much as at least a couple of people around here like that, the thought makes me sick.

I hope we run the table then get the rematch in the championship game and run it so far down their throats the refs can’t help them. App State didn’t win tonight they just got lucky.

It was an "okay" risk to take the safety.
If Troy punts the ball, App State still gets the ball pretty close to their territory...
So taking the safety ONLY made sense for taking extra time off the clock, then getting to kick the ball deeper with a kickoff.... BUT WE SQUIB KICKED IT!?!?
My God... Kick the ball deep and take the low chance of a TD return.
I think we can all agree on one thing... it probably wasn't the best decision that could've been made.

Happy with how we played today.
It’s not about what we could have, should have, or would have done.
It’s about the next team up.
The road to December 3rd starts now.

I think we have a real shot at winning the West. That school in Mobile might be the only challenge we have. ULL looked awful against Rice.

HCJS is right. It is on him. HCJSâs most boneheaded moment is still better than 3 years of ole âgreat group of guysâ (The HC we don’t speak of).
After sleeping on it what is still baffling DT is why not just try for the 1st down? HCJS at halftime said âwe are not going to play scaredâ. Then turned around with minutes left and played scared.

No one is going to talk about how close Troy got. I promise. Lee Corso, laughing his A** off. Herbstreit, laughing his A** off. Human turd, Pat McAfee, laughing his A** off. Fat turd with hair on it, Luke Combs, laughing his A** off. Stupid laugh Desmond Howard, stupid laughing his A** off. I have to decide if I'm done for the season now. I will also state again, that Jon Sumrall was NOT my first choice, but I'm still culpable because I got on the bandwagon. He's going to wear this one around his neck for the rest of his life, even if he goes 14-0 next year (doubtful!) he'll deserve this one to be dragged up every press conference. Dumbest post yet. Bye

For some stupid reason I decided to check out this board. The safety had no bearing on the outcome. You don’t think they could have gotten to midfield had we punted? A Hail Mary trumps it every time. Had they won by a FG, all your arguments work. Outside of that, we played as hard as a Troy team has played since 2018. We lost. It sucks. App is good. We hit them in the mouth a lot and we will hit Marshall in the mouth too. Future is very bright. Y’all take some time away from the keyboards for a minute. Best post of the day.

Next time we should go for it. I dont care if it was at the 11 yard line. There's a better chance of getting the first down than what they just did. Now that’s what dumb coaching decisions look like.

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. 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!!! 100000000% has to do with culture.

We all make bad decisions from time to time, just would like to know his thought process at the time.

It's the next morning and I'm still mad. Every time I turn on the TV all I see is that damn Hail Mary. Every time I turn surf the net all I see is that damn Hail Mary. We've never had a loss rubbed in our nose like this one. App State got lucky, no that's not sour grapes it's a fact. We don't throw that pick on the first play we win. We make that field goal in the 2nd we win. If we make that pick in the second to last play we win. If the refs don't add on two seconds to the clock we win. If we didn't squib kick it after the safety we win. If I'm a Troy player I'm not crying I'm angry. I hope they're so angry they steam roll the rest of the competition and set up a rematch for the championship.

They play great, bad decision at the end and players did not make plays on that last defensive drive. Not to mention an unlikely Hail Mary to beat us.

one comment - I thought the defense played very disciplined (ok maybe not the last play) but when Brice would play action our d lineman stayed true to assignment
just saying I see a team getting better - not a lot of unforced errors yesterday
and I know we have a Staff that will push our young men to be better
BEAT MARSHALL

He wasn’t playing scared. He was actually making coaching decisions to give us he best chance to win. We just didn’t execute! What I don’t understand is taking the safety and putting yourself in a position where a field goal beats you, the squib kicking it. We all make bad decisions from time to time, just would like to know his thought process at the time. In my opinion ONLY: His thought process is this: run sometime off and we are ahead (point one) I am going to trust my D (point two). Which leads to point 3. A punt or a kickoff from 20 allows for return set up and thus having ball at 40 likely. Thus an effective squib kick does not allow for set up return and perhaps ball DEEPER than the 40 and that happened. It also enhances the chance for fumbling the ball or not handling it well. That is point 3. All sound and yes unique choices. Let’s play out the other way. Punt and return with more time than they had and return likely to 40 Any way. More time and they are at 40 needing to score TD to win There in lies the counterpoint to Sumrall’s decision but you asked for thoughts and rational. Thus throw curve and rely on D with less time and HIS CHOICES almost worked. One freaking Hail Mary from working.
