I'll tag @OliverLBaltz in here if you guys have any questions regarding this year's squad. What are your thoughts and expectations on the team? Thoughts on conference and OOC slate? What's the floor for this team and what's the ceiling?

Writers calling for advertisers to pull their advertisements until Ferentz fires his son, who is the OC. Kirk Ferentz, the Iowa head coach, is contracted with the university through 2029. Hmm.

Brutal article below regarding Iowa football and it's offense.

GoMiddle Community,

We are planning on doing a monthly Q & A with Deputy AD Lee De Leon. The hope for this Q & A is to build a meaningful opportunity for Lee to engage the MT community.


Right now, the first monthly Q & A will be free to read. After that, who knows?

So, if you have a question for Lee, now is your chance. Post them in this thread and I’ll pass them on to Lee.

CRI revealed a little early preseason selection. MT #1

MT Athletics just announced a new fundraising record today : $8.9 million. This is up 300% over previous record.

This is cash-in-hand. Not pledges. Cash.

This doesn't count any CUSA buyout money that may have found its way to MT during last fiscal year.

Read about it here.

I have a special piece coming as soon as I can get to a faster video connection.

Hey man, add me on social media @CoachShauf got some premium information for you.

but the question is are there three more wins on the schedule?

I honestly began to question whether this team becomes 'eligible' as in past seasons where the schedule might have provided the easy wins to end the season with a bowl trip. Going into the season I though this would be a 4-8 season and they may still be even if they are +2 to this point (Miami and CSU wins) of where I thought they would be.

Either get rid of McPhee, Massaro AND Stockstill or get rid of athletics at MT. Blow up Cope or blow up Murphy Center.

I see where it's possible to filter by a specific sport to see threads for that sport, for example Basketball, and you'll see only basketball posts.

But I'm wanting to filter everything but a certain sport so I can see all posts but none for that specific sport.

Is this possible ?

This was a widely discussed topic in the 1970's and still no action...

Our HC should be changed from the 3rd Saturday in October so we don't have to go head to head with UT/Bama...

Tailgating in the Grove was pitiful today...

Those of you with a sub to The Athletic might find this interesting. Some cliff's notes style paraphrasing for those who don't:

1. Kennesaw State. Sounds like it's happening, just waiting for the confirmation and them to get some ducks in a row with their stadium issue. Also, EKU and Tarleton State appear to be on deck, couple others behind them have some issues (McNeese and SFA). 12 is the max, but they could sit at 10.

2. Couple of quotes from our Stooges - Stockstill "I like the position we’re in right now".

Regarding us turning down the MAC:

MTSU officials pointed to the money to be gained by the exit fees of departing C-USA members (around $20 million in total to be split up), avoiding its own exit/entrance fees and the fact that its alumni base trends southward, as a school just outside of Nashville.

“We felt like, let’s take that money and apply it to our programs and make them better, and we’re in a position to do that,” said MTSU athletic director Chris Massaro, who noted new facilities plans in the works.

3. CUSA leaders acknowledge the issues surrounding the TV/media deals, they don't like streaming on places like facebook, stadium etc. They're looking for ways to make it easier to stream or find CUSA broadcasts, which leads us to:

4. Remember in the MAC threads when people were against the move because of mid-week games? Well, I hope you guys can get pumped for Tarleton State on a Tuesday!.

5. No one likes or wanted Liberty, but CUSA was flat out desperate and they have money, so here they are. They like SHSU and Jax, and NMSU basketball. I think they like Kennesaw.

6. Someone wants to create a G5 challenge, where the top teams from G5 play each other early in the year. I think this is a good idea. They're running into scheduling issues as the early games tend to be the money games G5 teams need to stay afloat and schedules are set for years in advance.
