I grew up hating, LOATHING the University of Tennessee.
After seeing Knoxville tonight, this has got to be one of the best places in the Southeast to attend college. It's absolutely gorgeous.
To quote Owen Wilson, "WOW!"
Helmet(s) of the Day 8/2/23:
Instead of one helmet, it's nine. I found this and couldn't help but use it.
Your job today is to guess this conference. (Hint: This photo is from 1987.)
A playoff is not a playoff without autobids from every conference in America, not just the ones deemed "Power".
12-16 teams is the only way to build a true and equitable playoff bracket in a sport with 133+ teams.
Can we all agree that a 12-16 team playoff with all conferences represented, not just the Power ones, always made more sense than a postseason invitational?
Had to give props to one of my students who is originally from North Carolina and wears App State shirts.
He walked in and said "32-28" to me by way of hello.
Then, in his coldest moment, when I called his name for roll, he said, "We won."
Kid did me dirty, but I respect it.
Everyone wants a power conference but I truly miss the regional conferences. Which ones do you hate and which ones do you like?
Option 1: Joe Pa's proposed eastern conference
Option 2: The SWC but only TX
Option 3: What a modern 1950s ACC would look like.
Option 4: Floriduh
Now that the regular season is over and Troy is the Champs, it is bowl season.
For that I say,
Go Troy
Go JMU
Go App
Go Louisiana
Go Georgia Southern
Go Georgia State
Go ODU
Go Arkansas State
Go Texas State
Go Marshall
Go Coastal
Go........🤢😷😵💫😫 South 🤮
This is the most asinine thing I always read.
Every G5 school wants to compete. We didn't spend the money on facilities and upgrades to just be a glorified FCS.
Please stop with this 19th Century mindset and let it be settled on the field.
One of my favorite things from last night was seeing this App State kid who not only brought a helmet to the game and wore it almost the whole time, but it was his dad's helmet from the early 2000s.
Thanks to an amazing benefactor, I'm 17 helmets closer to achieving my dream for my sports classroom. This makes 72 out of 130 FBS teams!
I'm so floored by this donor's kindness!
Every time I watch WWE programming, all I can think is that they will never match the level of announcing teams they had when
@JRsBBQ
and The King were on Raw and Michael Cole and
@OfficialTAZ
were on Smackdown.
BSB SZN is upon us:
San Marcos, Lafayette, Monroe, Jonesboro, Mobile, Troy, Hattiesburg, Atlanta, Statesboro, Conway, Boone, Huntington, Harrisonburg, Norfolk Regional.
Which has the best ring to it?
No disrespect to App, but I'm gonna say what everyone is thinking.
They haven't been the same since the Hail Mary.
You gotta wonder what the temperature is getting like on Clark's seat.
I'm once again reaching out to any of my
#SunBelt
people.
My classroom is missing three helmets that would make the
@SunBelt
the second full set I have for my students.
I'm missing:
- Arkansas State
- Coastal Carolina
- Old Dominion
Any donated helmets would be appreciated!
I'm so happy that, in spite of all of the animosity created by competition, all of the
@SunBelt
teams can come together in hatred of the Sun Belt Whistler.
Indiana will be debuting their new “Reverse Retro” uniforms against Cincinnati in two weeks
When a big program comes to Indiana, they pull out all the stops. 😏
I'm going to be doing a massive undertaking in the buildup to the season.
I'm doing a massively objective listing of each FBS team's best helmet they've ever used.
I'll include pictures for each, my reason for choosing it, and the year (or specific game) for it.
-16 team playoff with conference autobids.
-Equitable revenue sharing between all conferences
-Equitable television teams
-NIL caps
- Transfer Portal limits
-Coaching Exit windows
-Dedicated Fan support
@RedditCFB
Look, y'all are just wading into this, but this has been a wild couple of days and Tennessee fans have shown poor judgement and even worse attempts at insults/humor.
The Wife surprised me with an early birthday gift (b-day is the 23rd) because she couldn't hide it.
The amazing woman got me Helmet
#199
for my collection and it was my favorite yet, a
@TroyTrojansFB
gamer from the 2012 Navy game. I'm elated at this beauty.
I found this awesome 1963
@NFL
Football Guide yesterday.
I've never seen the Lions use that head or the
@RamsNFL
use a brown head.
I thought the
@Eagles
was an unused one too, but
@sportslogosnet
had it.
I think I need to go back & get this to frame.
@UniWatch
@PhilHecken
@KStateFB
Congratulations on the win! I'd have loved to have gotten the 13th straight win, but at least we scored more than 5.
Y'all have a great squad and I hope y'all repeat at Big 12 Champs!
Dude, please stop. We want you to be eligible. We are playing our schedule from this point on and don't fret a shared or asterisk title. We just want to win.
But when y'all keep making crap like this, you really end up making more enemies than friends.
Sorry for y'all, Southies, honestly. We Trojans know what it's like.
But my favorite part is that they had to go and delete the BOLDEST tweet in the state of Alabama.

@eagles_attack
I finally got to meet a legend tonight.
@Cmartial2
, I appreciate you letting me celebrate with you for a minute. You're a good dude and nothing showed me that more than the first picture.
Everyone else started celebrating & you were helping folks get on the field.
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart today:
“I personally think every SEC team should be ranked. I can guarantee you there are some teams that don’t want to play them that are ranked."
You can be mad at the system you signed up for.
You can even call it an asterisk title if Troy gets in & wins.
But you can't tell people to not watch G5 football. We have enough problems with eyeballs on our product, so a boycott won't help & still wouldn't change the outcome.
I’m calling for JMU fans and college football fans to boycott watching the Sun Belt Championship game if it’s the
#2
team in the East vs the
#1
team in the west. People don’t want to see a fake Championship game.
I've been informed that Lamar P. Higgins, one of
@TROYUnews
trustees, has passed away. More information will be forthcoming from his family and the University soon.
Prayers are going out to his family from the entire Trojan Nation.
Tell me which one of these teams, on 9/17/22, would be fighting for bowl eligibility and would be Division Champs by season's end.
It might not have been the consensus answer, but I liked the way this turned out.
Hail Mary, and full of grace.
I'm going to get home before I blast y'all with tweets, but know this.
I love Troy. I love this team.
Thank you,
@CoachJonSumrall
,
@brentjones4
, and
@MarineJHJ
!
It's an amazing day to be a Trojan!
I know it's extremely expensive to travel the whole band, but this would be amazing to have at every game.
The Sound makes any game a home game with how hyped they get.
I truly don't think we as a fanbase have truly processed the season & career of
@kimanividal
.
At 1,661 yards, he eviscerated the previous single season record by more than 300 yards, in the same 14 game season as Arrid Gregory in 1996.

I've finally found highlights from Troy's 2003 loss at Kansas State. It's not easy to find video from this part of Troy history. A very big thank you to
@Thekstatefan
and their deep archive on YouTube.
