Oglethorpe Roster

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?

MTSU has landed its first commit of the 2025 class in Jax Howard. He plays at nearby Webb (Bell Buckle). Full story with quotes here:

Will be the battle of Blue Raiders vs Blue Raiders Wednesday night as MT awaits its final exhibition game for the 2024-25 season.
Lindsey Wilson an NAIA participant finished the 2023-24 season 19-12. They have received 13 votes in this year's preseason NAIA Top 25 polling. Last year Lindsey Wilson outscored their opponents by a 74-68 scoring average.
MT should have the definite size advantage once again as Lindsey Wilson has only 1 player over 6' 0" in height. In an early season D1 game last year Murray State & LW had a matchup with Murray winning comfortably 102-45.

What a douchebag this guy is. I saw it posted on another thread but surprised this didnt get its own thread. To give a key to the city to the coach of another in-state D1 program is just insane to me.

Boise, Fresno, Colorado state, SDSU joinin pac12 next year

This still leaves pac12 short 2 schools so look for MWC to lose two more after that, so six total.

Seems likely they will backfill with NMSU and UTEP. We should honestly just sit tight after the Missouri state add but I’m sure these clowns just won’t be able to resist the almighty Tarleton State.

Maybe Tarleton ends up in MWC. Or even pac12 who knows.

heading out to Vegas in 2 weeks. Going to catch the UNLV game against SDSU while there. went on to UNLV's rivals forum and introduced myself and asked where to go pregame etc(they play at allegiant). They seem pretty stoked that a MT fan would come out to see a UNLV game(not the main reason but still). got invited to a couple tailgates already, they seem like a fun interesting lot. Apparently there is a very nice "adult entertainment" place right by stadium, they recommend the wings lol. Stuff like this is why I love college football. Ill report back on the "wings".

Sad to receive news that former head coach Lewis Bivens passed tonight.

Have we played any? If so, anyone know the results?

His daughter, who would have turned 2 next month, died yesterday of heart problems.
She was born with Downs & had 2 holes in her heart.
Rest in luv, sweet girl.🙏💙💙💙
