'We're hungry': MTSU Football looking to come back stronger after tough 2020 season

No excuses. MTSU Head Football Coach Rick Stockstill made it very clear. When talking about last season, there are absolutely no excuses. The Blue Raiders finished the 2020 season with a 3-6 overall record and missed out on a bowl game for a second straight year. However, like many schools...

Then let’s #E.A.T.T.
I was told early last Spring that Covid would be the “go to” excuse for last season’s mess. Yet, no mention of the drop off the cliff in 2019. Nada.

Time to produce or retire.

”We’re going to do better as coaches...

After 15 years? I'd buy ocean front property in Arizona before believing that...

No where to go but up.

Please…..please don’t say this. You do know that Tommy West went 0-fer as DC at So.Miss in 2012 with Ellis Johnson before Stock hired him.

It can get worse.

Lol. I just jinxed us. Here we come 0-fer.

Any pics from Smyrna, Columbia or Murfreesboro this week? Social media posts by the Official MT Football Tweeter??

I don't doubt the event in the Boro was the best attended. Wish we had an good estimate of the number of attendees at each of these events. A decade ago the program was in good enough shape to expect attendance and we would have enough posters to get a report on the numbers at each location.
IMHO, given the state of the athletic program, we would be lucky to draw a dozen at some of these locations and MT staff probably outnumbered the guests.

Anybody asking about fundraising or indoor practice facility or was that off limits?

Didn't go to any of these things, even the one that was a few miles from my house. Just tired of the BS being spewed every year. Who wants to be strung along or lied to?

I wonder if the crowds at any of them were anything like the pre-game rally in NOLA 2009????
What a great time to be a Blue Raider.

These blitzes just seem like such a dated concept. feels very out of touch. I wish we would do more to try and capture the younger crowd, though that may be impossible as they don’t really follow sports and have no attention span.

I have a great fear of the future for college Athletics. Especially for smaller programs like the FCS and G5 schools. The direction this country (and world) is going is not compatible with stuff like college Athletics.

College football is all but done for teams outside the "power" conferences and probably for some lower tier schools within those conferences.

Perhaps FCS will turn into more of CFB purist's league?
