well ladies and gentlemen, the time has arrived. we blew a huge lead over LSU and embarressed ourselves a bit. I mean, yes, we embarressed the Tigers worse, but still...we should have won that game.

Now comes the match-up i've been fearing all year; Troy vs. Louisiana. I am in a wedding saturday, so i will have to listen to the game during the ceremony (oh yeah, it's that serious). Our Trojans are p*ssed to say the least, and looking for someone to take out all that aggression on. Your Cajuns are in the hunt for their first (?) title and hungry for a trip to New Orleans. This is going to be a clash of Sun Belt titans. here's to a great game, some great tailgating, and both of our teams going to great bowls. I wish all of you safe travels and an enjoyable experience in Troy. I wish I could be there, this kills me that I can't. Let's give the Sun Belt a game to remember!

Go Troy!
Go 'Belt!

it really was aweful. coach blakeney said it best, "it was the highest and lowest emotional points of his football coaching career." well, the trojan nation feels the same way. i had ordered the ppv, had friends over, and a few "adult beverages" downed. the 31-3 lead was like extasy, i was litterally jumping and screaming in my living room. then the wheels fell off. holy crap what a terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible 4th quarter. the company left immediately after the game. my wife could not console me, i was beside myself with anger and dissapointment. the only thing that kept me from putting a pistol in my mouth was the Titans win over Jacksonville on Sunday, and that was a come from behind (wanna talk about anxiety? lol).

i don't know if UL has ever had to go through something like that. we dominated LSU in every way, and then...blah. oh well, my nerves, and my heart, will be healed if we make it to a bowl.

Don't know about anyone else but the wife and I are going to be in Troy to support these fine young men. Anyone else?

As a UL football fan I do not recall losing a game that was that much in the bag so to speak.

I have been through it as a Saints fan

I can relate to the emotional rollercoaster (any cajun/saints fan can) but not within a 4 hour spane of a game like Troy did against LSU. I was pulling for Troy to just finish and they couldn't do it. Hey they went to LSU and punched the reigning NCAA Champion in the mouth and gave them all they wanted for a homecoming game.

Someone with stroke needs to print that note by the Troy reps pleading for their fans to show up and paste it at the enterance to our locker room, maybe even have one of the coaches read it out loud on the practice field!! I'm pumped up more than ever, we need to give it everything we got, I don't want to hear comments like I did after FAU about not playing to the 2nd half, begin playing hard now and don't stop until the final whistle blows on Saturday about 9:30 with a victory in our back pocket!!

N.O. Bound!

Does anyone else have tickets? I was thinking about getting General Admission tickets when I get to Troy on Saturday. They have been averaging 20,000 in a stadium that holds 30,000.

[Hardcore]

The wife and I are also going!

Back in August, if anyone would have predicted that in Week 11 UL would be in a 1st place tie and playing for the conference championship, I think we all would be happy with that.

I know that we have a banged-up team but I have feeling this team will WILL themselves to victory but regardless of the outcome, I think the young men wearing the Vermilion & White DESERVE our presence and support!

I have bought 4 general admission tickets for the game. Something came up and I won't be able to go to the game but if you or anyone else would like to buy them I paid 50 dollars for them. Let me know.
