***OFFICIAL 2017 NEW ORLEANS BOWL GAME THREAD***

I can’t say this is terribly surprising 

[meangreenlax]

in b4 the "Troy isn't a good enough opponent" crowd

[NT91]

They will score 40 Troy that is

[Salsa_Verde]

The easiest 2-point conversion I’ve seen in a while. They look confused and hesitant out there 

[H-towngreen]

This can’t be surprising to anyone who’s watched this team all season. We are not what our record says we are. Defense is shit. Offensive line is shit. Those 2 things equal disaster against good teams.

[MeanGreen22]

Torn between giving Reffett another chance next year and firing him immediately. Ask me again at halftime. 

[untbowler]

So when will these coaches get the team ready for a a big game against a better team.

Absolutely. Those groups have overperformed at times, but on average are very bad

Fire immediately... Someone go put a for sale sign in his front yard.

[Greendylan]

This is shaping up to be one of the biggest embarrassments in our football history.  

[FireFightnJoey]

Offense has to come alive. Gotta answer here!!

[Mike Jackson]

Hope everyone had a fun trip.  But getting dragged around the Superdome by a very good Sun Belt team does nothing for this program except help keeps most of our coaching staff in place for 2018.  It was never about the actual quality of the Troy team it is about the perception of beating or losing to a Sun Belt team.  Well maybe they can come back but this sucks so far.

Troy has a cool helmet

[817Fan]

Until we put some real resources in our D front. This will always be our team.

The SMU and 2 FAU games insured no coach was moving up.

[NT91]

If Troy scores it is over

[meangreenlax]

Apparently R+L Carriers do a good job. Maybe we can hire them to pack up Reffett's house

By halftime

[Harry]

That was a 10-hard cushion?

[NT91]

I need a Buffalo Trace

You are probably right I was just trying to look on the bright side.

[meangreenacct]

How does #15 have a 10 yard cushion every time??? 

[southsideguy]

going to be a long day.  Did Troy bring their cheerleaders to do the announcing for ESPN?

Defense is a disaster.  Blitz packages never sniff the qb all year.  They have all day to throw in a clean pocket

[NT91]

It might snow Christmas eve
