The Troy faithful got to rub elbows with Troy University head football coach Larry Blakeney who reflected on Troy's admittance to Division 1A in 2001.
“In 2001 we had a news conference about 1A football and our knees were knocking wondering if we could to it or not,” he said. “There is no doubt in my mind we did the right thing. We played Nebraska and Miami that year and since then we've competed at the highest level and we're getting a little bit better each year and getting a little better player each year.”

Banks Wood leads the men's team with a 75.1 stroke average this spring. Wood, Taylor Crosby, Jerry Richardson, Garry Hill and Stephen Lewton make up the Wolfpack lineup, the same gang that took fourth place last week at NC State's Courtyard by Marriott Intercollegiate, finishing nine-under-par and ahead of 12 higher-ranked teams. NC State will once again be up against a tough group at the ACC Championship, as No. 3 Georgia Tech headlines a 10-team field that features four top-40 squads.
