2019 Game Thread: Middle Tennessee(1-1) vs Duke(1-1), Black Out Game, (Stadium on Facebook), 6PM, Saturday, 9/14/2019

What is the issue? I refuse to belive that the talent gap between us and Western is that big. If the excuse is that Stockstill left us with no talent, Mason signed 53 new players this year were they all terrible too?

Mason dominated Stockstill's spread offense when he was at Vanderbilt. Why is he struggling mighty right now?

Mason is a defensive guy. Is the issue is the defensive scheme? Why would he hire a terrible defense coordinator and why would he allow it to continue thus far?

Any chance he takes over defensive calling?

This is just crazy terrible defense. Tennessee Tech was bad and of course Ole Miss. If it doesn't improve I don't see a win on our schedule. Maybe Kennesaw State.

Conner and myself are at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium as the Blue Raiders take on the Rebels!

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.
