    Those videos are a punch to the gut. It’s amazing how much the performance and perception have changed.

    Losing that edge is so much easier than building a great program. Troy was beating top 25 teams and a threat to anyone they played. I recall USM had decades long success and now a bottom feeder. Nebraska a national champion now a middle of the road P5.

    I thought we did quite well before Coach Bustle. Why our fans could park right next to Cajun Field.

    Money and Wisdom.

    When you lack one or both of these, you’re in trouble.

    We have lifted our program because we lifted salaries and hired more staff. We will maintain that program by maintaining that support.

    USM stagnated because their budget stagnated.

    Nebraska has money. They lack wisdom. Their program has never recovered from turning their back on power, option football. It’s who they are, and they can’t recruit the coaches or the players needed to compete otherwise.

    When Troy was really dominate they had some advantages others didn’t in regards to academics and being able to sign more guys each class. They had some kind of exemption that allowed then to take academic Risks. They came down to earth when that ended. However, point taken that we could go back to sucking very quickly

    How did running backs make it through holes with shoulder pads so big?
