We have found a leader for this team. He is only a freshman, but John Johnson is the leader of this team. I have known the kid for a long time. He has "never been nothin' but a winner,' holds himself to high standards and is a damn fine ball player. For the next four years, he will be the face of this team.

"I know darn good and well what the football team does...I did it to. I will bash classlessness when I see it. You don't like it tough. And by the way my daughter has to do all her band stuff, takes 16 hours, works a part time job and had to keep a 3.3 GPA to keep her Millenium Scholarship. What does the football team have to do to keep a 100% scholarship, maintain a 2.0. If you want to get into a pissing contest on who has it ROUGHER go right ahead...you will lose." Post directed to American Dream...... What's a guy to think? The Dream is completely confused by your tactics kind sir. Care to elaborate?

Larry's contract runs through the end of next season (2015). Of course, Troy always has the option to buy it out. However, as Barry said this morning on the SportsLine, it would probably be better in the long haul to use the roughly 1 million bucks somewhere else, such as facilities or what not.

All of this banter will be forgotten after the TMTDM rises from the ashes on Saturday in Athens. Pruitt will dance out of sacks, find receivers running free and put points on the board. The Law Firm of Burks, Chunn and Franklin will run roughshod threw the UGA defense. Mark Wilson will pop Gurley in the mouth on the first play of the game, and Gurley will tell Mark Richt that he doesn't want to play anymore. Troy wins 27-24 as Ryan Kay booms a 52-yard field goal as time expires. Why? Because why not. We have hit rock bottom and the only way to go from here is up. Feel free to drink the Kool-Aid with me. Dream now because Saturday is coming. Let me guess you still don't understand how this could happen because you can destroy everyone on NCAA 2015 when you play with Troy.
The truth is I haven't seen a player on the Troy side of the ball man enough to hit Gurly. My guess will be that they will be getting out of the way because they are scared. If they can't tackle ACU's tailbacks do you really think that they will even try to tackle Gurly. Gurly will charge at them like a bull and create highlights for his Heisman run but wait ESPN will that's just troy it doesn't count. Troy Saturday will make the top 10 worst plays.
It will leave the Troy faithful dreaming of days gone past (The killer B's, D-ware) and listening to CLB saying, "Well, Well....you know those boys are good.... Oh - Oh...number 3 for Georgia...what's his name... O Yeah Gurly. Cuz I mean that cat can run! Did you see him! How do we suppose to play with that! I mean...I mean can't even tackle right now. We have to go learn to play football. But man it was just an honor to be on the same field as a team that great. They could have put 100 on us if they wanted. I tell Troy fans all the time when you come to SEC town you find SEC teams.....and we suck! But if they would pay a little more and build the field house I want maybe they can recruit a good coach after I milk out my contract and pad my retirement."
Italics - my opinion of his mindset. He would never be bold enough to actually say it.
First of all preacher, NCAA 15 does not exist. Secondly, The Dream is currently in the midst of four straight trips to the BCS at UMASS in NCAA 14. My video game coaching skills are rivaled only by my rasslin ability. Judging by your snarky view of things, I would take it that you were a Ric Flair fan. Tisk tisk

I know we need a new locker room. I just get sick of it being used for an excuse to why we can't win or recruit. The fact is we got beat by a team with a 8,000 seat stadium, I'm sure a locker room no better than us and a box truck to haul their gear . Maybe if Troy put in half as much effort recruiting the hotbeds of Florida, Georgia, Texas and other places as they do complaining about facilities and recruiting Itawamba JC maybe this would be a non issue Barry McKnight painted a great radio picture this morning. Let's say we have a hotshot quarterback visiting the Troy campus. For the sake of argument let's say he is from Florida and spends a lot time with his grandparents in Georgia and Texas. There isn't enough room in the coach's office for his family to come in and sit down. The stadium isn't as nice as places he's played as a HS qb and the cup someone gave him a Coke in smells funny. What about Troy right now makes a kid want to come here and play? Three words: The Front Porch

What do you think the football players have been doing..? Weight room and practice everyday, study film, digest the play book... I can promise you the band kids have nothing physically or emotionaly challenging that can compare to our guys. If you claim to be all about Troy then keep it that way. When you see our guys struggling then reach out with your support don't bash them. They are out there doing something 99% of the marching band couldn't even dream of attempting. When did i bash anyone?

Can we end this stupid argument.... The SOTS is pretty swell. This year, the football team is not. Majority of the fans go to watch the game, with a smaller portion there to watch the halftime performance. Both have their strengths and their flaws. I think we can solve this issue by letting the football team run out first and then high five the band members as they enter the field for pregame then the entire stadium can sing the alma mater and fight somg before kickoff That would take winning or losing out of the equation No, because then folks would say "In five years, that is the first time we have done that..." and chastise the players who choose to take part in it. #StandingWithTyler

Hemi is a Pirates fan, and The Dream loves the Oakland Raiders. We know how to deal with bad teams (It requires a 12 oz. Coca-cola and large bottle of brown water). If anyone needs assistance during this troubling time, feel free to contact us.

I know a Troy supporter that became a Trojan fan because a player took time out of his routine to personally extend an offering of appreciation to him and his family. (and no, it is not The Dream)
Tyler Parker may or may not have done the same Saturday night. Troy athletics may have a new life-long fan or it may not. We all don't agree with what he did, but his heart is in the right spot. That my friends I can guarantee.

Doug4Troy is my favorite poster ever. Except for that Baywatch one I used to have. When I was nine years old, I dropped a hard earned four bucks on a Lamborghini poster at the Elba Elementary School Book Fair. That poster still hangs on the wall of The Dream's vacation home in northern Coffee County.

Maybe he gave up on his grammar class?? Is that English? I can personally vouch for John Johnson. The kid is a class act on and off the field. You sir, are just looking for negatives.

"Stand up for what you believe in, even if that means standing alone." Tyler Parker did just that, and I have the utmost respect for him. So your saying you have respect for someone who turned his back on his team and showed a lack of discipline? Oh. Okay. That's most definitely the type of people that we should have on a TEAM. Parker turned his back on his team? What about the dozen or so players that ran straight to the locker room rather than going out to shake the hands of the FCS team that kicked their tail. I have much more respect for a person that has the guts to take a loss like a man, shake the better team's hand and thank the spectators and band for supporting him and his team. Tyler Parker did not turn his back on Troy, but it appears that a portion of the Trojan fan base has turned their back on him.

That band certainly can't be the correct way to do things because I have seen several members with long hair, and if I am not mistaken, the SOTS plays a rap/hip hop medley. They are part of the discipline issue!!! Yes, your right my daughter and most every girl in the band has long hair. And when they all get every penny of their education covered like the football team does and Dr. Walker says everybody will have short hair you will see 340 short haircuts including my child. Why?? To quote one of your rivals, Dream " Because Dr. Walker said so, And That's The Bottom Line" First of all, Stunning Steve couldn't lace up The Dream's boots. Second, look again at the band. Under those shining chrome helmets, you will see quite a few long-haired fellas. We can all throw jabs at each other, but lets all remember that we are all on the same side.
