Saw this yesterday. Sam Houston State signed a new home and home deal with Troy.
SHSU is supposed to go to Troy in 2026, and Troy will travel to SHSU in 2029.
I wish we could've gotten that. Getting Troy in J'ville, especially to open the new stadium, would easily be a sellout... and I'm one of those who wants to see the Battle for the Ol School Bell commence once again.

This is straight up proof that our two schools don't want to play each other for whatever reason. I'll be cheering for Sammy those two games.

We've been playing them in literally every other sport, almost every year... and in men's basketball in 2019 and 2021. Doesn't make sense. Troy and UAB have signed a 4-game home and home series with each other, and it makes sense for them. Either one of those schools getting JSU at their home would be big for their ticket sales. |

We very much want to play them. most troy alums want to play us. I was told it is Jack Hawkins preventing it from happening due to his hatred of Jax State. I expect an announcement shortly after his death. |

Football is different. Can't really explain why, it just is. I don't want to be boxed into an annual OOC game just because it was a big deal 30 years ago. But rotating them with UAB and USA should be a thing. I get USA isn't really going to be a blood boiling rivalry but it is in the same state so it would count for something. But unless Kennesaw moves up, I don't see us with a huge FBS rival right now. Maybe MTSU but they have WKU. I'd like to say Sammy since we are both moving up at the same time but they will have SFA if they make the move. Still, life is better once we are away from where we are now. |
