Exactly as you said Troy's fans are not tops in the SBC, but the Ragin' Cajuns have not quit and the made Troy sweat like no other Sunbelt opponent has this year.
Unfortunately, you don't get "making teams sweat" points.
There are two types of players who enter the portal.
1. Very good players who want to try their luck at getting on a very good football team.
2. Very bad players who see the writing on the wall and realize they won’t get playing time here.
For the most part, everyone in-between will stick around.
Now obviously we don’t care about the very bad players leaving. It’s the very good group that worries us. But here’s the thing. If we are a mediocre football team, it means we don’t have many very good players to lose in the first place.
So no, I’m not worried about the portal.
This has a chance to age REALLY badly.. lol
