š„ **Cry Havoc, Trojan Warriors! The Battle for SunBelt Glory Awaits!** š„
Trojan faithful, gather 'round as we prepare to embark on a quest for redemption against the Appalachian State Mountaineers! The stage is set at Veterans Memorial Stadium, the very arena where the clash of titans will unfold this Saturday, December 2, at 3:00. This is not just a game; this is a war, and the Trojans are on a mission to rewrite the narrative.
Our beloved Trojans, standing tall with a 10-2 record, are ready to face the Appalachian State Mountaineers, who dare to challenge us for SunBelt supremacy. The West shall meet the East in a showdown that promises to be a battle of epic proportions, a clash between two great armies hungry for victory.
The series may currently favor App at 3-8, but remember, great stories often have humble beginnings. Our last triumph in 2016 was a testament to the indomitable Trojan spirit. A thrilling game-winning drive in the final minute left our foes in awe, and we basked in the glory of revenge. Now, fate has deemed it fit that we cross swords once more in the SunBelt Championship, and the Trojans are thirsty for payback.
Last season's heartbreak still echoes in our earsāan improbable Hail Mary pass snatched victory away from us. But fear not, fellow Trojans, for revenge is a dish best served on the battlefield. Every player, every coach, and every fan has been raging for this moment since that fateful day. The fire that burns within us is hotter than ever, and the Trojans are ready to unleash it upon our rivals.
In the absence of a scheduled clash this season, destiny has conspired to bring us face to face in the championship arena. The Trojans have been sharpening their swords, perfecting their strategies, and honing their skills for this very showdown. This is not just a game; it's a chance to right the wrongs of the past, to reclaim our glory, and to etch our names in the annals of SunBelt history.
So, Trojan Nation, let the cry of "Havoc!" ring through the air! Let the spirit of Hektor guide our warriors on the gridiron. On Saturday, December 2, at 3:00, let us rally behind our team, our heroes, as they charge into battle. The revenge we seek is within our grasp, and victory will be all the sweeter when it's against our longstanding foes.
Trojans, stand tall, stand proud, and let the roar of our collective spirit shake the very foundations of Veterans Memorial Stadium. The Battle for SunBelt Glory is upon usālet the Trojan war cry be heard across the land! šš„ #TrojanPride #CryHavoc #SunBeltShowdown #ATDL

After I slept on it last night, I am really excited about this game. I'm glad we are playing App. I have memories of the great final drive in 2016 and then the terrible hail Mary last year. This is going to be a legendary game in our history.

As a devoted fan of the Troy Trojans, celebrating our team's 10-win season is a testament to their exceptional Attitude, Toughness, Discipline, and Love for the game. With Championship Saturday on the horizon, being part of the exclusive 20 teams competing for a conference title is a testament to the Trojans' unwavering commitment. Here's to our team's extraordinary journey, fueled by #ATDL

After 3 years of what we won't mention. It was a 45-7 whopping that got who we won't mentioned fired. I was there in 2000 at a playoff loss. I don't like them as much as just about anyone. This would be wonderful to beat them in a championship game. They want nothing more than to beat us what seems like always. I'll be there for sure. It's been a wonderful time to be a Troy Trojan!!

This is going to be a tough test. App offense is firing on all cylinders right now and they looked good against a good JMU defense. We can't afford to have our usual slow offense first half. I have confidence in our defense but we can't afford to get behind two or more scores early. I'm hoping for how we came out of the gate last year against the Myrtle Beach Chickens

Within the first minute and a half ā¦ āTroy Stateā š¤¦š»āāļø I guess the podcaster by using this language shows his age š I have watched him for some time, this is the first time I heard him do that so is probably the age or the fact that App State was his next statement. Either way he always calls us Troy till that moment.

I think this is the best match up we could have gotten because aside from the Sun Belt Conference Championship being on the line this is also a revenge game. I can imagine Coach Sumrall will have the team coming out of the locker room with their hair on fire ready to play.

I think youāll be surprised, not that they wonāt come out on fire, but at how little (no) emphasis is placed on revenge. This time around, revenge is a fan generated motivator.

I'm not too focused on the revenge factor, either. That Hail Mary was a lifetime ago.
I'm just focused on adding another title to our league-leading total.

I am a little afraid that our crowd will be cut down and therefore some of our home advantage cut due to weather.

It rained last year during the title game with Coastal and we had 25K+. I'm more worried that the broadcast of the event going on in Atlanta at the same time will hurt our attendance.

No, they only brought 12.The 13th was a TROY student who, after enjoying various beverages all morning, lost his foam "Sun" and wandered into the visitors section looking for it.

When I was leaving the stadium, the guys carrying the goal posts came by shouting: "To the porch!" One guy says: "That's a long way". To which the reply was: "Naw it's just over the hill" The original guy who asked about it being a long way said: Oh, yea that's right...which hill?" Bubba, I think you are talking about that bunch. My wife and I walked about 50 yards with this crew as we were going to the car. Once we got there, she says "do you think they will ever make it?' I simply told her they would eventually get somewhere. Slightly, overjoyed and highly juiced. Great time and I hope we have another this year.
