Imagine if Auburn or Alabama was so insecure, they forced you to keep the State after your name. By the way, I hear Troy State uses the ASVAB as an entrance exam...is this true?

So, that would be unofficial now? Gotcha...we'll go with that...Oh! I forgot to tell you that they have raised the admission standards as a part of the strategic plan...not much of a difference from the rest of the league, but when it comes to athletics, the clearinghouse rules the roost.

It was official...until they went back and made it unofficial. But that's an argument in semantics. Like saying Troy State has the same admissions standards as the rest of the SBC. You could argue semantics and say they have the same admissions standards as Jack In The Box, as long as you can function normally, spell your name some what correctly, and have a valid social security number...you're in!!!

It's not semantics...you were UL for a fleeting moment, as you've stated, but now you're not. Claim it for sports, who cares. At the end of the day, you are still the University of Louisiana At Lafayette...Officially. So far as admissions standards go, there may be one or two schools that have higher standards, but I bet they won't be turning down a whole lot of student athletes, if they've been cleared...betcha that.

Still UL. Full names aren't important...I had a friend of mine who went to The University of Texas at Austin. Now I know for you Troy State folks the whole critical thinking thing is a bit of a struggle but one of these days the whole UL thing will be cleared up. Most sites are already calling us Louisiana. San Diego State did the same in New Orleans. Apparently Troy State are what the laymen term...late adopters. I just put it towards them being on the left side of the bell curve. By the way, remind me again what bowl game Troy State played last year? I seem to have forgotten already. Time flies I guess.

Unlike Troy State the rest of the SBC doesn't have 50 recruits in one academic year to weed out knuckle draggers like Troy State does. I guess we just aren't doing it right. Apparently the way to a quality program is to oversign like a madman, and hope you picked enough quality guys who know their ABC's to field a football team. I guess things are just different in Alabama. For instance, I do not think heading to Waflle House is eating at a fine establishment. When in Rome I guess. Do me a favor, next time you see Corey Robinson, let him know he still has yet to come and collect his self worth...which apparently was beaten out of him at Cajun Field. You stay classy mouth breathers.

Where is Troy State at?

But seriously dude I have no clue why you are so butt hurt towards Troy. The truth is that no school will turn down good players if they are cleared to play unless your talking about schools like Cal Berkley and Yale. If your so interested in our class then do some research not everyone was an actual recruit like say Johnson he just didn't enroll last season after he transfered and is coming back.

But about this name nonsense unless it's official it's not official because on your basis UAB could call itself the University of Alabama. Auburn and UA could not combat Troy being Troy University because first of all we are our own school system. Second it's official.
