Troy hasn't been to a bowl in 6 years and you're going to stay home? I hope you're in the minority for the Trojan fan base.

We've got a few "Troy fans" that seek the negative in everything. We will be pretty well represented in Mobile. The date will keep a few away, but most will do their best to make the trip.

Good lord how can anyone be disappointing with the season Troy had with the recent history and going to a bowl that you can drive to? I could understand some slight disappointment if you had just gone 12-1 last year with a CC but you didnt.

After what we just went through I will gladly trade places and be ecstatic if our team manages to play as well as Troy did most of the year next year.

We have idiot fans just like every other team. I saw a really awful case of a fan trolling Neal Brown on twitter. Hemi and some other guys confronted him but the troll just hurled insults their way too.
That's just simply ridiculous on all levels!!!

Yeah... It got ugly pretty fast in the New Orleans bowl back in 2010. I remember being ready to go back to Bourbon Street after halftime.

I ended up taking one of the student buses down for that game. I think it was only like $50 for the ride down, one night's stay at a hotel downtown, plus admission for the game. We got to spend the whole day before the game hanging out on Bourbon street, seeing the sights, drinking "Huge Ass Beers", and harassing Troy fans (all in good fun).

The only downside was that the buses departed immediately after the game... which made for a not fun ride home (a bus full of drunk students...on a moving vehicle...gradually transitioning to hungover throughout the ride). I DID get to eat one of those KFC Double Downs in Kentucky on the ride home, which was one of my life goals at the time (I was a silly college student).

I remember watching your students, and a couple of them on the front row looked to be having the time of their lives.

Like he said, all fan bases have those people. I remember a couple of well known posters on here harassing Mark Calvi and even his daughter on twitter after we won the Sun Bet regular season a couple years ago in baseball.

always sucks to have that kind of negative press about your team but from an Xs and Os perspective neither player has stepped on the field this year so its just 2 less bodies for the practice squad. no biggie.

Just curious. In what ways are you different from the 2010 squad?

Im excited about this matchup. Solid G5 v G5 game. Hopefully we come angry and motivated after that meltdown of a final drive at Ga. Southern

I think this is a better overall team, but it is still full of glaring weaknesses. The first game of the year (the infamous Texas State loss) and the last game of the year (going toe to toe with a highly motivated and ranked team) are both indications of how this team can play.

At its best on offense, Ohio controls the clock with 4-6 yard runs and unleashes a few explosive plays from Papi White and a capable receiving corp. At its worst on offense, it runs twice for a yard or two and throws an incompletion. And sometimes when it runs, the fumble-prone running backs cough up the ball - the sure-handed starting back was lost for the season early in the Texas State game. No matter what, the best you'll get from quarterback play is pretty average. Maxwell is young and has shown flashes of brilliance, but you'll likely see senior Greg Windham, who ran very well before an injury and is an OK (never great) passer.

At its best on defense, Ohio's outstanding front four and excellent linebacking corps take away the running game and tee off on the quarterback. At its worst on defense, the extremely young and largely second and third string secondary is repeatedly exposed, freeing up the running game and basically making Ohio the opposing offense's ***** for 60 minutes.

I don't know which team you'll see. It could be the Keystone Kops that lost at home to Texas State. It could be a near-elite G5 team that beat Toledo on the road and almost ruined the Cotton Bowl dreams of Western Michigan. One thing that has impressed me with this team is resilience. In the past five years, late season dropoffs have seen the team essentially quit during games and really during entire months. This team has battled every game.

Troy crushed Ohio in 2010 by exposing Ohio's offense as being antiquated and too slow. In the off-season Ohio HC Frank Solich reached out to Larry Blakeney to learn more about Troy's offense and Larry and his staff were very generous in sharing their offense with Ohio. The next two seasons Ohio would go 19-8 with 2 bowl wins.

Ohio has regressed a little sense then, in part due to lack of solid QB play which plagued them in 2010 too. So in some ways Ohio is very different from the team they were in 2010, in other ways they are the same. Defense is their strength and will be the key to keeping this one close.

I remember Solich coming unglued on the sideline because of the uptempo offense we were running.
