All I Want For Christmas...

Well, since I can't have the bowl game that I was looking forward to so much, I thought I'd make a list of all things Troy that I want! This list is one of those "if I could wish for anything and it would come true" lists! Feel free to add your thoughts and comments!

The first thing I'd ask for is a quarterback to replace Omar Haugabook! Yes, I know I'm starting out with a biggie! But let's face it, when you lose someone who constitutes 70% of your offense you need somebody to step up and step up quickly!! That's right--70%! Ouch. And I know we have Jamie Hampton, Tanner Jones and others who have been there along with Chris Todd--the hot shot transfer--but 70%?! That's at the top of my list. Someone who can throw and run.

The second thing I'd like is for Jeremy Rowell to throw the Nickel Base defense where it belongs--in the trash can! The reason so many teams could run up the middle at will is because we had no beef in the middle with the base Nickel. The opposing teams knew it and they ran all over us! I want to go back to the "Mighty Trojan Death Machine" that dominated teams in the past.

The next thing is pretty big too. I would like for Troy to have a real fan base. I mean a huge group of people who show up in Troy to tailgate hours before kick and who get to the stadium early. Folks who cheer the whole game and leave the earphones at the house because the only team they care about is on the field at "The Gallery." Fans who would never, ever, be caught dead wearing clothes with some other team's name on it. Fans who give it their all the entire game. Basically, I want a stadium full of fanatics!

That's just a few of the things I would ask for. If, by some amazing, miraculous event I was granted a wish for anything I wanted concerning the Trojans that's what it would be for me...or at least that's all I can think of at the moment! What about you?
