Troy plays Georgia at noon CST... Everyone root for Troy.

I'm excited about this game. I'd REALLY like to see Troy make a statement for themselves and the 'Belt!

Good Luck Trojans!

Lee Corso yesterday on ESPN's college gameday preview from Oregon picked Troy as his upset special this weekend.

And the pundits on CBS are talking about Georgia winning its division of the SEC.

Here is how far we are from being a team like Troy.

-Troy lost to an SEC team by 10. Could we please manage to not trail by 10 midway through the 1st?

-Troy put up 34 points. Have we scored 34 in the last 5 games against BCS teams? (I am being slightly facetious)

-We talk about how we will no longer "go there for a paycheck." Troy walks the walk.

I also love this from the game article. Way to go Blakeney!

Troy was booed by the Georgia homecoming crowd as coach Larry Blakeney called three timeouts on his team's final possession. Backup quarterback Jamie Hampton threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Jerrel Jernigan with 6 seconds left.

"The crowd that stayed booed us for trying to execute, which was funny," Blakeney said. "I think we certainly had the potential to win, and I doubt we'll get any quick invites back here."

Question?

Does anyone remember Troy losing a significant player from their team due to academic ineligibility? In recent memory we have lost several starters due to grades, maybe the most significant one was Byarly, our to be starting QB prior to the '05 season.

Congrats to Troy.

The Sun Belt conference is no longer the whipping boy of the nation. Ark. St. stayed with Texas (and should have won), Troy hangs with Georgia, SBC upsets over Minnesota (FAU) and Ok. St. (sorry...forgot who...Troy?). I know there are others that slip my mind off hand.

Where are all the people saying that we got whipped by a "belt team" now after they hung with Georgia just like the others said they would?

What?

We got beat by a belt team. Fact.

Is that what you wanted?

For everyone blaming the D, when we got run over by Troy.

Troy Offense vs the #24 ranked defense in the nation

Troy lead the game in first downs with 23

lead in total yards with 488

lead in passing yards with 373

rushed for 115 yards

lead in time of possesion by 3 and a half minutes.

once again against one of the top defenses in the nation on the road

Troy played well, but without a touchdown scored with five seconds left, it would've been a 17-point loss.

Getting back to our Troy game, the suggestion that it's OK for UNT to lose 45-7 to a Belt team is weak. The Mean Green ran through the Belt for four straight years. There's no path to football success for this program that includes being hopelessly non-competitive against strong conference teams. When the season began, no one here predicted Dodge's first team would get beat like a paycheck game by Troy.

And if they would've ended the game after the first quarter Troy would've won. What is the point of your statement?

You can thank Darrell Dickey for the post championship dropoff. Who else could you possibly blame? Troy is quickly becoming a paycheck game unless you wouldn't consider Okie State a paycheck game.

I love watching Troy and FAU shine for our league! It has always baffled me when some think this league is ours to dominate or lose. I wish! I enjoyed those 4 years in New Orleans because it may be the next decade before we sniff the New Orleans Bowl again. Look at how tough the road for MTSU has been!

Way to go Troy!

Way to go FAU!

Let all this frustration out on Navy!

GO MEAN GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My point is that they didn't hang with Georgia. They played well but like most outgunned teams, they faded in the second half and the game was out of reach.

When I said Troy beat us like a paycheck game, I meant that they beat us like the big out-of-conference teams do at the start of every season. It's bad enough UNT fans accept that, but to accept it from in-conference foes is crazy. We're never going to get anywhere expecting so little from this team.

Incorrect, Troy actually outscored Georgia in the Second half 24-20. I don't how you can say Troy didn't have a chance to win when they outgained Georgia and controlled in T.O.P.

I don't know what their academic standards are, but If they are anything like the schools in La. we are always going to be at a disadvantage. I think that most of the schools in La. just require that you be able to chew gum and walk at the same time in order to get in.

      😂 I hate revisiting the records and specific games of that era cause it was all such a train wreck. Still should be discussed from time to time when some of our fanbase gets restless with wanting to take the next step as a program. Trying to cement ourselves as a perineal Top 50 program is tough but we’re on the right track. I remember years back @TheTastyGreek putting into perspective how tough achieving a Top 25 ranking in hoops was relative to FBS football back in the day. Too lazy to go dig that up but it really highlighted how difficult it is generally speaking and then layer in what you’re describing above - what UNT has had to overcome from a performance and program perception standpoint.

      Seth loses OU gig

      Oklahoma hired Washington State’s Ben Arbuckle — just 29 — to be its new offensive coordinator yesterday. He takes over for the fired Seth Littrell, whose offenses sputtered in the Sooners’ first SEC season. Meanwhile, Florida Atlantic picked Texas Tech offensive coordinator Zach Kittley, just 33, to replace Tom Herman as head coach. -The Athletic Plus

      If Eric Morris wins a bowl game, will you forgive his past sins?

      I’ll never understand the mental gymnastics some on here do to justify this underperformance? We fired Seth after a Conference USA title game appearance- justifiably - so we would get someone to take the NEXT step that was elusive for his regime. Now we’ve got people making excuses for wasting the first year of Morris’ tenure by mis-reading the personnel that he judged to be “AAC title contenders” and then flopping. Didn’t use the portal well enough to beef up glaring deficiencies. Then brings back the worst, yet somehow highest compensated G5 DC in America for year 2 which led to an inevitable firing that even the most casual of football fans could see coming from a mile away before the season even started. The 2nd year performance was predictable as well, but extra dissapointing given the soft schedule 5-1 start. To end up 6-6 is nearly unforgivable. We’d better win this upcoming Bowl game.

      like how we finished 8-22 in Benford's last season and had a final ranking of 299?? at the time we were a few spots below a couple hospital teams, Detroit Mercy & Sacred Heart. now we're three back of UT https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/seasons/men/2017-ratings.html

      Agreed. But we can all also agree that this is a great jumping off point for UNT in NET. A quality indicator of the program’s overall progress since Grant first arrived. We’ve come a LONG way from the Benford era.
