Making it tough on me

As a Troy fan and someone who has grown up as an Auburn fan (both my parents graduated from Auburn so I have legitimate ties to the Tigers) next season will be tough for me. Why?

Arkansas State.

Gus Malzahn, Michael Dyer and Kodi Burns.

Those names ring a bell?

Well, they came from Auburn. Dyer will have to sit out a year since he's transferring, but at any rate, three of the Auburn family will now be Red Wolves.

Where does Troy come into play? It's the Sun Belt. Need I say more?

The Red Wolves beat the Trojans soundly in the final game of Troy's season in 2011, 45-14, to end the Trojans year at 3-9. Next year will hopefully be a better season, and Arkansas State will be traveling to Troy to play on Larry Blakeney Field. Revenge? Tell me it won't be a factor.

For me, I'll be honored just to be on the same field as Malzahn, but I'll have to be pulling against him. That's tough though, cause I've really grown to like him.
