So a showcase for Troy on our home field against a nearby P5 team that will never play us.

Dark days for UAB athletics. Thanks Mark, you **********.
Yeah, pretty annoying to see 2 schools we recruit h2h with getting a showcase in our stadium. Key has been scooping up a few of those next tier guys we should be landing.
This season can’t end fast enough.
This whole day has been a cluster. GA Tech is not playing in the Bham bowl...

Looks like they will play UCF in the Gasparilla Bowl.

Tbh, I wouldn't want to play a 11-2 Troy team either if I were them.

Duke would be a P5 team I would love to have a HH with, and now unfortunately, Troy will be playing a P5 team at Protective before we will...

ACC opponents were switched by conference & bowl organizers to avoid rematch of last year’s Duke-UCF bowl
Trent could get Riley Leonard 05-stirthepot

Yet UCF and GT played in the regular season in 2022.
I suspect that they feared the fan bases would be less enthusiastic about traveling to a bowl rematch.

I'm thinking about going, great season btw 05-hide
Thanks haha! More the merrier!

Just hoping we can hang onto Sumrall for 1 more year… we return a load of talent… he’s currently 23-4 at Troy.

Can’t wait to see it… will be my first time. Hopefully the weather is good.
We’ve had record sales the last 2 days. Hoping we can get this stadium full.

That’s a very tall task. Capacity is 47,100. Who knows?

BTW, I was always jealous of your on-campus stadium. Ours isn’t on-campus, but it’s the next best thing. Thankfully it’s not Legion Field!

It would depend on how many Duke travel. I suspect we will have around 20 to 25,000 there….plus the casual UAB/ on looker… I don’t expect a sell out but if Duke can travel 7k or more it would look very full.
