East Carolina, Rice, Tulane, Tulsa, Marshall, FIU, UNT, Louisiana Tech, UAB, UNC-Charlotte, UT-San Antonio, Southern Mississippi, and UTEP.

If they are raided in the future of say ECU, Southern Miss and or Tulsa....they have nothing that the Belt does not have.....even if only one or two of those schools left our breathern that would give their left testis to leave and join them.....more power to them. ]]> Conference Realignment Buzz Lightyear http://www.gotroytrojans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28867 http://www.gotroytrojans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28866&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 11:58:00 GMT The baseball team begins it's final regular season series against USA tonight. If I could be there I would, unfortunately I cannot, but I urge everyone to try and get out to at least one game this weekend to see if we can cheer our guys to a series win.

Our guys, despite an injury-plagued season, have won the last 3 series, and 4 of the last 5 series. If they win this series they will finish the conference with a 5-5 series record. And they went 2-2 in OOC series this season.

The season has been a disappointment for many this year, but I think this team has youth on its side, and by next year, will have a better chemistry. If they can avoid the injuries, I think this team has a great foundation for next season. They need some post-season experience to help with that. ]]> Troy87 http://www.gotroytrojans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28866 http://www.gotroytrojans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28865&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 17:00:11 GMT Louisiana-Lafayette's senior outfielder Christi Orgeron and junior shortstop Nerissa Myers were recognized as first and third team All-Americans, respectively, as announced by College Sports Madness on Wednesday.

Sun Belt Offenses Catch Up With Troy

By Paul Myerberg // May 16, 2012

While the underdog portion of the Sun Belt was moving forward, Troy was standing still. I don’t mean this in the big picture, but in one specific category: totals plays. Consider this:

–Troy led the Sun Belt in total plays run from scrimmage in each year from 2007-10. The Trojans averaged 980.3 plays per season, running at least 972 plays each year with a high of 997 plays in 2010.

–The Trojans’ offense was on the field for 867 plays last fall, which tied Florida International for fifth-most in the Sun Belt. Arkansas State led the way with 1,016 plays, followed by Louisiana-Monroe with 939 plays, Middle Tennessee with 938 plays and Louisiana-Lafayette with 893 plays.

–And the Trojans weren’t doing more with less. Last year’s offense averaged 5.3 yards per play, a program-low since 2007. Troy averaged 5.9 yards per play in 2010; 6.5 yards per play in 2009. Both totals paced the conference. Two teams, Arkansas State and Louisiana-Lafayette, tied for the S.B.C. lead at 5.7 yards per play last fall.

Allow these numbers – which don’t tell the whole story, merely a slice of the story – to help illustrate one undeniable fact about the Sun Belt as a whole: the conference is all about offense. It has been since 2006, in fact. Troy didn’t dominate the league for five years because of its defense, though that certainly provided another degree of separation between the Trojans and their conference rivals.
