FOOTBALL JMU lawsuit...Jax too?

So it appears a restraining order against the NCAA will be sought. If that happens, it opens immediate access for JMU of not only a bowl, but the SBC champ too.

That opens a can of worms for CUSA possibly too. If Jax beats LaT this weekend, they will be 6-1 in conf just like NMSU. And well, Jax and NMSU play each other last game of year. But yet NMSU has already been given the game spot.

I said on X...the rule is stupid. But you can't change it this late in the season.

LADY RAIDER BB Middle Tennessee (5-2) vs Houston (4-0) Wed Nov. 29 @ 7pm, ESPN+

Huge road challenge for the Lady Raiders as Houston will look to avenge last years loss in Murfreesboro. Raiders had a comfortably large lead before Houston made a strong charge at the end, but coming up short.
Houston comes in with one of the nation's best offenses averaging around 98 points per game, but against relatively soft competition. Middle Tennessee will also represent the Coug's biggest challenge as the Raiders are larger & better on the defensive front than anyone they've played thus far. Houston will likely be favored at home. To win Wednesday the Raiders will have to shoot effectively from 3 all game. Can't have 1 quarter good, & 2-3 bad.

FOOTBALL What is missing?

So we've all seen the posts of former players saying Stock did more with less. He was hamstrung. Etc etc.

I do my part. Go to games when I can. Support BuildBlue. Member of BRAA. Buy merch. I've never seen the football offices (which have been compared to "high school stuff" or locker rooms or anything like that. Haven't been in the press box since 2001 or Murphy since 2002.

What did the admin not do to support Stock to the point that some have brought up West's speech when leaving Memphis. Not counting NIL as it is fairly new. But overall, what are we missing that needs committed to besides facilities? Yes they are late but they are coming. What are we missing? Help me understand. I know a lot of this is loyalty to Stock but even the media is saying the same thing. He wasn't fully supported.

What did he not get?

How Incredible Would it Be if...

at the same time we are going through a generational change with a new coach, new facilities being built, etc., that the leadership finally had an epiphany that a rebrand to the University of Middle Tennessee is long overdue. A name change with a new logo - block MT - dropping the pegasus would be profound. What an immeasurable benefit that would have to this institution at this time.

A Thank You Note

I want to thank Coach Stockstill for what he did do for MT. I know some may scoff because of the contract but a) he did what all of us would do in getting the best deal we could; and b) there is no question he gave his heart to this program.

That said, I tried hard to refrain from using the F work with respect to Stockstill even though it was clear the direction of the program was not going to change if he stayed longer. I spoke in other ways, but I (and I think many of us) would be remiss to show some gratitude for what he did. Therefore, I would like to say thank you to Coach Stock for giving his all - his heart and soul - to MT. I thank him for pulling us out of the APR graveyard McCollum left us in. I thank him for getting us to our first bowl as a I-A program, our first bowl win as a I-A program which remains one of the funnest trips I've taken.

Most of all I thank you Coach for being a Incredible representative for us degree holders and instilling the same in the players you brought to the school. Best wishes in the next chapter!

FOOTBALL Brent Dearmon

I flipped over to CW Network to watch Mike Norvell work and was surprised to see Brent Dearmon on the North Alabama sideline. I had forgotten that he eventually landed at UNA as HC. He played around for about 15 minutes and even went up 13-0 until Mike had enough and unleashed the horses blowing them up with 58 unanswered points in the last 3 quarters.

I miss him at Memphis but he’s done a great job at FSU. He may even win a NC but that horrible ankle break to his QB may hurt his chances. When he took the Memphis job in 2016, he played in my foursome in Coach Donnelly’s charity golf event for Backfield in Motion. He and Ryan Silverfield both worked Middle TN hard for players and brought the Tigers all the way to Father Ryan for a spring scrimmage that same first year.

I still wonder what Brock’s buddies on the FSU letterman’s message board are saying about missing on his recommendation of Stock for their HC job 4 years ago. 😂
