My exact thought? What are we talking about? Like what is your favorite? What?

WR / DL. Coming into the season, I thought Beason, Parker, and Dortch were going to be game changers. Parker has the size, and was a tremendous deep threat at his previous school. Dortch was a 4 star with blazing speed. Beason was tearing it up in the spring and got high marks from coaches and Boutwell. I thought Ross would be good, but maybe not as electric as he has been. And of course, Ethan Conner has been out for weeks. It's been disappointing to not see this group flourish. If Lewis plays next season, Ross returns, and Beason / Dortch play up to their potential, this could be a very good group. OL / QB have to improve, and the coaches coaching them have to improve as well. Very precarious situation looming with the portal and NIL. We need more experience, but the temptation for that experience to leave after a 1 to 3 win season will be very high.
All I'll say about the DL is there is some talent there, especially at pass rush. LB position has some talent too.
Defensively, overall, year two will need to see marked improvement. To be honest, the defense is not good, but has shown some improvement game to game to their credit. The unit has potential, but the offense has to help them out. They are going backwards. Injuries and roster issues are tough, but they have to find a way. We're not going to make a bowl, but at this point, improvement is a must before heading into the off season.

In this PC world, one no longer has “problems” but instead, “opportunities” as in for improvement.

MORE fans.
Care little if they whine or not. If they do whine at least it indicates they give a sh!t. Meaning likely they are attending and contributing.
Troy can’t do with less of anything if we are to ensure we survive, much less grow.

There is alot of opprotunity. HCGP needs to grow as a HC more, hopefully a tough season and a full offseason will help that growth. He may also have to let go of some "friends" for higher quality coaches imo

You have no idea. You should see my inbox. Might need to add a “Karen” badge at some point. 🤣

We should recruit more on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I could actually help develop that pipeline.

Although there are many upgrades to be made, Troy's offensive line ranks among the worst in the country by most metrics and must be a priority for improvement in 2025.

Troy can’t do with less of anything if we are to ensure we survive, much less grow. Whiners who give a crap share their frustrations directly with Troy Athletics folks who can/could influence change within University Athletics. Keyboard whiners who puff and pontificate on this board and have all the solutions and occassionally "I refuse to renew season tickets for this crap", or " i bought a Rolex instead of season tix'" etc etc etc. don't show me a bit of "give a shitness". Granted, it's NOT the majority of us here, but this public whining just does not support Survival and growth. Just sayin, for a friend.
