FOOTBALL Middle Tennessee vs Tennessee Tech (ESPN+), 6PM, Saturday, August 31, 2024

MidTennMtneer
WKU should be very decent, but Duke should be a great tell, especially if we pull out a win over WKU. 2-1 with a P4 team coming to town. UT plays OU that weekend and it could be a prime time game which could hurt, but still should be a good showing.

And if CDM wants to stay here 20yrs, that's fine. IF.....big IF...he is winning a champ every 2-3 years and consistently 9-10 games a year. If CDM wins consistently someone will try to poach him, and if he does want to stay, great. But we shouldn't lock ourselves into an albatross of a contract just to keep him. That is the key.

There were a good amount of people in the stands with a lot of people still coming in and a lot still at the Party on the Grove.

The rain derailed a lot of that. Interested to see what the stands look like for Duke and WKU

Yeah there was a solid crowd growing. By far the longest I’ve ever waited to get through the gate. The rain really messed it up. I’m guessing the WKU game will have a lot of people there. Hopefully it’s better weather next time around.

Hope thats in the gate and not tickets sold. Even with the weather I thought tickets sold would be higher, it seemed there was more buy in and hype than pretty much any season since COVID.

They have a large hole to dig out of because of keeping the last regime here way longer than they should.

The problem now is that those ya hoos are still in charge.

If we aren’t moving up our head coach every 4 or so years, we are doing it wrong. That way, an entire fan base will not die off or just leave.

Attendance was announced at 16,000. No doubt that was affected by the weather. Half our group didn’t get into the stadium because of the weather and left during the delay.

FOOTBALL Tennessee Tech @ Middle Tennessee Game Thread

Wow. I caught the first half but missed the drama in the second half. Sounds like a lot to cleanup as they face a tougher group of teams ahead.

A little concerning that Mason has pushed the power running game since day 1 and the top rusher last night was Peasant with a whopping 49 yards, 30 of which came on one run. Actually that’s very concerning to me if a strong running game is your strategy. That’s quite disappointing results against TN Tech !!!!

They better get things sorted out real fast or this will be a really tough season delivering those type of stats against a weak team.

Looked like conditioning was an issue. When I was going to selection for special forces I did morning PT with my company, lifted at lunch, and did another PT session at 7:00pm. You can’t be the best doing what every one else does. You have to put in the extra time. One extra set of squats, bench press, and a two mile run or some sprints adds up over time. Even one extra mile helps. To be the best you have to work the hardest.

Losing focus due to a comfortable lead is an issue teams lacking in maturity & development have suffered since the concept of team sports have been around. Despite the fact these players have participated in team football since grade school this is probably one of the rawest teams in college football. Not just new players adjusting to playing with each other, but adapting to all new coaching staff as well has to be overwhelming.
I think we were so overpowered by the positivity & salesmanship of CDM that we as fans (myself included!) lost sight of what an overwhelming task it is to putting a cohesive, & fully mature unit on the field. Including a practically a whole new team of players to work with.
Our anger spilled out last night when we saw an fcs team come back from being down 21, & in all reality if not for a targeting penalty overturning a pick 6 Peasnt's & Kelly's last minute heroics probably wouldn't have made any difference anyway.
What we have to remember for next week is we may play an improvef 4 quarters next week than last night & still get beat by 50.
Nonetheless I'm getting ready to buy 3 of the $30 two game ticket packages for the WKU & Liberty/Kennesaw promo. That's a great promo!
We may not have a winning record this year, but I bet by game 9 we'll see a pretty decent product on the field. We have what looks like an excellent recruiting class coming. I see this year as more about rebuilding a foundation for next year & the year after that. And if coach & the boys want to do a little dancing after beating a team we should have knocked off by 30 to help start that foundation dance away.

Great post.

None of us felt we could win a Champ this year. Do I hope, sure. I hope we beat Ole Miss. I don't think we will, but I still want the team to believe they can. There is zero point in playing a game you don't think you can win. Still have to always give it all you've got. I'll still be watching and will still have a MT shirt on.

If we finish 5-7 or even 4-8, that's OK in season one. I still think 6-6 is the cap. I just want improvement throughout the season and more importantly, each year. If we finish 5-7 this year, next year I want at least 7-5. Then the next 9-3. We've never seen consistent improvement like that in this program since we joined FBS. All hope is not lost. I'll still be driving 6+ hours to see them this year. We all see the issues, but so does CDM. Adjustments will be made because not only does the team have to gel, but the staff does too.
