Hearing something or just a gut feeling?

Just a gut feeling.

I'd say it's about a 90% chance our band goes. They usually go to short trip OOC games. They went to the ULL game last year, so I see no reason they won't go to Hattiesburg.

My guess would be somewhere between 500-800 Troy fans. If you ask anyone on the SBC board, they'd probably tell you Troy is one of the best fan-traveling teams in the conference. There are a lot of alumni around that area that will likely go, plus your regular fans from the region in and around Troy. We have 25 from Tampa going to the game also.

Great to hear. I was hoping for even more for a Saturday evening kick, but that is better than almost any Conference-USA team has brought. As a matter of fact, a Sunbelt team, UL-L, brought more than any G-5 team in my lifetime. They filled the whole visitors section (lower deck) and brought their full band. I hope that our regional G-5 Home/Homes do the same. I have always wanted the band to be written into the contracts. They add so much to the game day experience.

Your right. Louisiana brought more fans than anyone by far not counting in state teams. And that was with a hurricane approaching with Lafayette projected in its path. And we sign a home and home with ULM???

The Troy series is long overdue.
