  1. I hate to say it but this was best for our conference.
  2. The better team won tonight - represent the Belt well!
  3. Just wanted to stop by and wish the Mean Green good luck tonight. Here's to an injury free game!
  4. I believe so. Those players showed a tremendous amount of restraint!
  5. This guy wasn't skinny and there was no NT gear to be found. The players just stood in amazement as the guy questioned their manhood.
  6. Who was the guy that kept running down to the sideline and yelling at the NT players?
  7. Let me say that this is not a flame in any way... Did anyone on this board make the trip to Troy for the game? I have a question about one of your fans but it needs to be answered by someone who was there.
  8. Congrats on the higher SAT scores...
  9. That never gets old.....couldn't you have come up with something more original?
  10. Care to back that up with facts or should I just accept it as fact? BTW, looks like LB gave this decision a lot of thought.... http://www.gulfeast.com/index.php/troy_blog/P0/ Yet more information on Jarboe August 13, 2008 Drew Champlin Just talked with head coach Larry Blakeney about the Josh Jarboe situation. The No.1 question right now is “is he eligible this year?” From what Blakeney understands, he should be. He took two classes this summer at Oklahoma, got two B’s, made all his workouts, etc. OU has released him from his scholarship. He has to be denied admission to OU for him to be eligible this fall and that decision should come today, if he hasn’t been denied already. So, it sounds like Troy coaches are gearing up for him to play. There’s the acclimation period where new players have to go through. Jarboe started practice yesterday (Tuesday) with the team. He’ll go through today in shorts, Thursday and Friday in shells, and full pads Saturday if that schedule’s right. Though, Thursday is a scrimmage so he wouldn’t play in that but I guess it would count as a practice. Jarboe is friends with freshman wideout Chip Reeves, who played at Stone Mountain. “Chip spoke well of him as a competitor and as a player,” Blakeney said. “Eligible or not, he’ll be with us,” Blakeney said. “We interviewed him extensively, we talked to his family, his mentor, to Ray Bonner (high school coach), and we talked to Oklahoma coaches about him. I don’t think this kid is a bad kid.” “The rap deal happened in his dorm room. One of the offensive linemen taped it and (Jarboe) went home for the break (after summer, before fall). (OU coach Bob) Stoops called him and he told him everything. It turns out, the lineman had uploaded the tape on youtube. (Jarboe) wasn’t trying to get the tape out there. He was a victim of his own circumstances.” Blakeney said they wouldn’t rush him on the field. “We’ll see how fast he can move mentally in this system,” Blakeney said. “It’s not a hard system for the kids to learn because they enjoy playing in it. I don’t know if he’ll be ready for Middle Tennessee or the second game or the third game. We’ll let him move at his own pace.”
  11. Just think.....Ware and McKelvin both were passed over by the "bigger" schools due to their "lack of size". Troy has done very well in the past with signing guys that were overlooked by the big boys.
