Blue Raider baseball retooled its roster this offseason to the tune of 23 newcomers, mainly pitchers.

With the new talent and retuning players, #MTSU believes it can surprise some people in 2025.

MT won this year's first meeting Jan 11 at JAX St. 69-35. Liberty (8-1) in conference plays at La. Tech (4-5). Tech is on a 3 game losing streak, but is 10-1 at home.

BREAKING: Topsail HS (NC) offensive lineman Garrett Austin has flipped from Western Carolina to #MTSU.

The 6’7 285lb lineman features good strength, physicality, and a high motor. Solid pickup for the Blue Raiders on National Signing Day.

At 6’7, will certainly move from guard to tackle.

Is it possible a lot of players that entered the portal might never find another school to play with? Like have they burned their opportunity to find a new opportunity.

For example, I have been intrigued with a former MT QB - Kyle Lowe. MT signed him out of school and he later transferred to Georgia State and didn’t play there either so he is now back in the portal. Oddly enough he and DJ Riles, another MT QB, went to GS, which might have been the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen if either wanted to play. Since school has already started up again and it looks like he hasn’t signed anywhere, what is he doing now? I’m assuming he is not going to classes at GS. Is he just going to miss this whole semester of college now? Is it possible guys like him never play again and their dream is over? He could probably land at some lower tier school, but even their rosters are probably filling up right? Generally speaking could guys be left with no opportunities.

I’m also intrigued by what he is doing now. No school, no commitments (UTEP offered him, but then they signed another QB) so is he just working at Wendy’s and going to the gym to stay in shape? Seems like a waste.

Today I had some free time, and I was watching highlights of the 2016 and 2017 teams. Got me thinking...Where were you when the Blue Raiders busted brackets all over and took down the Spartans.

I was playing a bit of hooky, watching with my dad. I had MTSU winning in my bracket out of homerism, but I really at heart thought MT would be dominated.

It also got me thinking about something we talked about in the GoMiddle staff group chat. If the 2016 team faced off the 2017 team, how would it go down?

Always tough games against UTEP. Their announcers are... rough... to say the least. Can't take another "Bowl-day-ray-vuh"

President Bush "lied" about Iraq's WMDs -- thus goes the article of faith among liberals, endlessly repeated by the likes of New York Times indirectly acknowledges today.

C.J. Chivers and Eric Schmitt write:
The chemical weapons remaining in Iraq did not fall into the hands of terrorists or militant groups, according to current and former American officials.

The extraordinary arms purchase plan, known as Operation Avarice, began in 2005 and continued into 2006, and the American military deemed it a nonproliferation success. It led to the United States' acquiring and destroying at least 400 Borak rockets, one of the internationally condemned chemical weapons that Saddam Hussein's Baathist government manufactured in the 1980s but that were not accounted for by United Nations inspections mandated after the 1991 Persian Gulf war.[/QUOTE]
Note that despite the firestorm of slander the Bush administration endured over its "lies" on WMD, the president never acted to declassify the information on the CIA buyback program, and as a result today it is an article of faith on the left that he lied us into war.

At the time of the invasion of Iraq, there was no way to know that:
These munitions were remnants of an Iraqi special weapons program that was abandoned long before the 2003 invasion,[/QUOTE]
But:
they turned up sporadically during the American occupation in buried caches, as part of improvised bombs or on black markets.

WMD evidence found in Iraq 11 years ago.

The CIA's program appears to have put at risk soldiers who were not warned of the risks they faced in handling these potent weapons:

Not long after Operation Avarice had secured its 400th rocket, in 2006, American troops were exposed several times to other chemical weapons. Many of these veterans said that they had not been warned by their units about the risks posed by the chemical weapons and that their medical care and follow-up were substandard, in part because military doctors seemed unaware that chemical munitions remained in Iraq.

In some cases, victims of exposure said, officers forbade them to discuss what had occurred. The Pentagon now says hundreds of other veterans reported on health-screening forms that they believed they too had been exposed during the war.

Aaron Stein, an associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, said the belated acknowledgment of a chemical-rocket purchases, as well as the potentially worrisome laboratory analysis of the related sarin samples, raised questions about the military's commitment to the well-being of those it sent to war.

We have been fed a line of bull over Saddam and WMDs.

NY Times discovers that Saddam had WMDs after all

OL RaiShaun McHaney from Indianapolis visited MTSU on Thursday and will visit UCF this weekend.

He will make a decision on Feb. 5 but as of now, it looks to be between MTSU, Army, UCF, and Eastern Illinois.
