Based on what i could watch and the remainder of the season I'm thinking 3 wins tops. When you can't hang on to the ball you will lose. This program continues to be a flop. Changing coaches we look to be worse. Coaching in the transfer portal time will expose all unless you can build a culture. This currently feels like the start of “Brick by brick”

I asked Mason about him tonight. Will have a story up this week. Averaged 48.5 yards per punt I think it was, but if you take out the 31 yarder that pinned them deep, it was a net plus (subtracting return yards) of 50+

If we are talking about how great our punter is., we are in worst shape than I thought.

Is that Blue Raider Brats stand still there this season, and was it there yesterday? I did not find it.

Yes, I posted more details on where it was in the other thread you commented on.

You forgot to mention 1)Vatiato was running for his life all night and 2) special teams suck.

Yes it is on the first level on the opposite side of the concourse from the field (near the bathrooms). Pretty much right under the middle of the press box.

I meant the smaller games within the game that often get overlooked

Duke got 21 quick points off turnovers early in that game and completely changed the dynamic of the game. MTSU was able to do some good things but bc of the turnovers it limited how much it actually mattered

Yeah it’s called not being any good. Everything that’s happened in all four games is what very bad football teams play like. It seems you don’t see that?

A 10 seed feels pretty low

Forgot 1 other upcoming opponent team.
Kansas St: #4 seed.
I don't believe Charlie was thinking we would get a victory over any of the above listed opponents outside of GCU. If we could pull off a road upset or 2, ie: Tennessee or Princeton I could see us climbing a couple of spots. Possibly an 8 or 9 seed. Which is unfortunately worse than a 10 seed, IMO.
To get a coveted 6 seed or better I think we would also need a victory over Iowa St or K State. Despite the fact I think we could be better than last year, either of those would be very hard victories to come by.
Normally we're given an 11 or 12 seed ranking as a quality G5. We have to remember prior to the Louisville tournament victory we had lost 10 or 11 consecutive tournament games. Some very badly. My thoughts were the Louisville victory gave us a spot or 2 bump from our typical 11 or 12 seed.

It’s a bug specific to GoMiddle.

I just tried Kentucky’s rivals site as I remember them having a free forum. All their forums show in the forums drop down.

The forum tab on our site is not populating correctly.

LMAO. Calling turnovers small things is not positivity. It’s ignoring reality as it’s slapping you.

Rivals as a whole has been pushing for premium content since the brand update. Obviously, MTSU won't be as much premium content so it is definitely a shared frustration, but that is probably why. I feel you though, I have to go through Lightning's Lounge everytime haha

So Rivals wants the free forums hidden?

Bowl game is still very much so on the table and that has been a goal for a successful season from the start.

I admire your positivity.

I'm not so sure about a bowl game though. Will be lucky to get another win

Amazing to think we're already a 1/3 of the way through the season. Time flies. Last year this team finished an extremely disappointing 4-8. Looking at the rest of the schedule & the fact there has been zero week to week improvement, it's hard to find 3 more wins this year. Don't think this team can even match Last year's record. Thinking 2-10 or 3-9 at best.
I know CDM said he felt rejuvenated coming into the season. Can't imagine him & the staff still feeling that way after this afternoon.

There is a lot that has to be cleaned up but the team has also showed good things recently. They just can't have such putrid performances in the small things whether that's special teams or turnovers and so on. Conference USA also hasn't looked too hot outside of Liberty and WKU so you have that going for you. Bowl game is still very much so on the table and that has been a goal for a successful season from the start.
