BASKETBALL NIL/Collective for mens basketball only

Why not use all the nil/collective money on buying five or six of the best men's basketball players we can? No money for any other sport. You would get the best bang for your dollar with this strategy. Are there rules that forbid this or is it just the preference of the donors to where the money is spent?

There are no rules that forbid this, yet. It's a valid strategy and it's why I have been saying just shut football down and go all in on basketball.

I have no interest in being a farm team for the big football schools. With basketball, at least in the current environment, I think we could have a chance if we put all our resources into it. That could very well change in the future, but there's certainly an opportunity window right now for us in my opinion.

FOOTBALL Favorite Halloween Candy

Since I was diagnosed as a Type 1 Diabetic, it's not something I can testify to now, but when I could it was Candy Corn and Tootsie Pops. Least liked was anything Licorice.

Did not know you were a type 1 diabetic. Tough stuff. I am a GP and my type 1's have all my sympathy.

No idea how you manage being a type 1 and cheering for MTSU at the same time 😅

FOOTBALL Let's discuss last three ballgames...

- Liberty at home
- Bye
- NMSU
- @ FIU

Obviously the staff will have the weekly picks, but I'm leaning two of three here.
Our season is potentially in front of us: go 3 for 3, MT could be bowl eligible at 6-6! That is the bright motivational spot. Will we? I think if we play smart and relatively error free, it’s possible. Gain advantage on time of possession and be solid on defense would go a long way. Can’t afford to be one dimensional on offense and have any turnovers next three weeks. Two of the three are at home which makes the task a bit easier.

FOOTBALL Let's discuss last three ballgames...

Liberty is a toss, and not because of us. Simply because of the shape they are in right now. Still though, besting them would require no mistakes on our part..a near perfect game and we haven't had any of those.

The last two are absolutely winnable, if again, we don't give the ball away. Still either way, offense has to improve. Three times yesterday we made it across midfield only to have 2 INTs and a punt.

FOOTBALL Middle Tennessee (2-6, 1-3) @ UTEP (1-7, 1-4), (CBSSN), 2:30PM, Saturday, November 2, 2024

Can’t score from the six inch line. And then yet another turnover. Vattiato is just too often careless with the ball.

Unfortunately Masons team makes the same stupid mistakes Stockstill’s did.
I don’t feel so bad. Penn State was inside the five twice and couldn’t score against Ohio State.

LADY RAIDER BB MIDDLE TENNESSEE vs NORTHERN KENTUCKY, Mon Nov 4th 5pm, ESPN+

Any predictions for tomorrow? 1st game predictions are always tough, especially when being a road game. 2 years ago predicted a comfortable victory over Mercer which didn't go well. NKU is not unbeatable at home. Theie home record last year was 6-7.
CRI got the team locked in on defensive intensity from preseason game 1 to game 2. Anticipate a lower scoring game with our primary focus once again being on defense.
Middle Tennessee: 67
NKU: 58

FB RECRUITING MTSU is first in CUSA for recruiting

When Mason was hired I was willing to give it 3-4 years and that hasn’t changed. I want to see how he develops guys that he’s bringing in. We just don’t have a D1 roster in size speed and athleticism.
Agreed. I think the frustrating part for a lot of people is that you can’t capitalize on guys like Nick Vattiato, Omari Kelly, and Holden Willis
