Title: Troy University
Post by: XocolateThundarr on September 05, 2023, 12:04:05 PM
First off, didn't realize they were in Alabama. :dunno:

Defense pitches another shutout Saturday and Cats roll 52-0.

What say ye?

Heard they named the school after professional concussion receiver Troy Aikman even though he has no other affiliation with the region.

I have been to Troy and have viewed their stadium in person.

It was hot AF on that day and thus I did not spend long looking around. 

Alabama State and South Alabama have nicer stadiums, as does UAB and JSU

If you took Troy/UAB/South Alabama and shook them up in a yahtzee can then rolled them out onto different parts of the state absolutely no one would notice.

Oh, UAB's in Mobile now? Cool I guess.

Drove thru Troy, Alabama three years ago. It is surrounded by a strange belt of highways. They don't build on-ramps and off-ramps in Alabama. Just a giant ring of concrete and asphalt punctuated by an interminable series of stoplights. You have to admire the perseverance of student-athletes who come from such a place.

Stan early second quarter. K-State has made Troy one-dimensional and now they can't throw the football. Troy throws for about 150 yards and TD rest of the 2nd Q.
