sorry forgot... 3 Quarter

Amazing. Thanks for the updates. I thought Troy had a chance, but nothing like this.

Hopefully they will hang on. One of the downsides of the spread offense is clock management. OSU will have plenty of possessions to make up these points b/c the clock continually stops with Troy's offense.

A lot of people thought OSU would be pretty good this year. I guess they've got more holes than we thought.

13 seconds in 3Q left... Troy scores another.... 41-10 Troy... this game is OVER! Sunbelt chalks up a win against the Big 12.

[FirefightnRick]

Another bad call by Belt refs giving OkSt the ball on a clear fumble on the troy 5 yard line.

41-16 Troy

My husband and I keep flipping the channel to the game and were shocked when we turned it back on and it was 41-10. WTG Troy.

In my opinion, troy is the only team that has a shot at being a ranked top 25 team in the next few years. If they didn't play 3 body bag games a year (which they can actually be competitive in) they could possibley be a TCU type squad.

Hats off to troy, not only for scheduling another BigXII team at home on national television, but for also chalking up another win against a BCS conference for the sun belt.

In OkSt's attempt to get anything going late in the 4th quarter, they have thrown the ball on two straight plays in which the reciever, both times got JACKED!....UP! Troy's D looks incredible against the pokes tonight.

41-23 Troy, with 4:31 left to go.

41-23, Troy, Final.

[GoMeanGreen1999]

Way to make the Belt look good Troy.

[FirefightnRick]

Troy made ESPN's top 10 with the 6th best tonight. Showed the Leotus(sp) kids' punt return for a TD. First thing they say when the clip starts: "MIGHTY! TROY!....."

Since Day One in their (all but new) stadium Troy U has been going to another level that we (after all these years back in D1-A) still only talk about.

I know its not always about a new stadium, but Troy U's seems to have synergized their recruiting as to beat the kind of teams that if DD's teams had had some success would have gotten him (at least) some job interviews at the next level.

Don't many of us remember when Troy U debuted their new stadium on national ESPN TV with a win over #19 ranked Missouri? Last time UNT beat a Top 25 football program was in 1974.

To All the UNT Powers That Be, ie, Our Upper Echelon-Types: There is a moral to the Troy U story. Those of us who've seen and heard it all in Denton can only hope we don't gravitate back to the usual "North Texas" modus operendi we've most always gone to in the past. We do have a cycle that needs to be broken up in Denton and all of you who've been around the Mean Green scene for awhile know exactly what I'm talking about.

Congrats to the TU Trojans for doing the kind of things on the field of battle many of us wished our school would have been doing the past 1 or 2 decades. The law of averages has to catch up with our football program as to where we can start beating (much) higher profile OOC schools again.

PS: Look for Troy U to start positioning themselves to make an eventual move to another conference.............. and with their facilities and higher profiles successes in those facilities in such a brief time, CUSA may just be that conference. Wonder what we'd be talking about (or doing) if that were to happen?

We'll have our chance against Arkansas in a few weeks...

The first victory for the belt over a non-confernce opponent.
