I totally agree! This is part of the gig. Reaching out and connecting us to the programm. For all the crap Deion Sanders gets, He connected and each home game was sold out and they brought 16.5 million dollars to the local community in Boulder each weekend. Connection. That's all it is. If we feel connected, we will be a part of it. No matter how I felt about the hire, this guy is winning me over. Hell, he's already done more than Stock did in his whole tenure when it comes to community outreach.
Wow! Outstanding video. This dude is making me eat my words the first week in. LOL.
I made the $50 deposit on my season tickets. I wasn't fully on board about doing that without the price for season tickets being known, Who realistically puts money down with the final price not being known for whatever they're buying? Did it anyway but seriously whatever response they are getting, I would think might be better if the price was already set.
Its kind of shocking to see this type of thing. Why was Stock not? Ive been asking myself that continuously.
Good news is it doesnt matter now as we have a coach that is. I am more and more convinced CDM is the 100% right guy.
How much were they last year? I know I'll be at TN T and Duke. Depending on when WKU is I may come there too. Thinking with me coming to three games that season tickets would make more sense. I'm sure they'll raise a bit from last year.Agreed. They should have the full price ranges posted at the minimum.
A noticeable difference between MT and other FBS schools is we use Ticketmaster versus Paciolan.
Most schools will let you renew tickets or pick your new seats, with full price and any donation requirements right now.
Given our low ticket sales in the past, they could set aside single game ticket sections for TTU game right now. Have a family 4 seats for $50 with drink and popcorn vouchers. Don’t want to invest in season tickets yet, no problem, buy 2 for $25 or 4 for $50 in sections XYZ for CDM’s first game against old instate rival TTU.
Also, here’s a 3 game pack for $50 / ticket. Get TTU, Duke and WKU tickets for $50 per person.
They are missing marketing opportunities that I’ve seen other schools capitalize on after a coaching change.
I’m not sure. Seems like it was $120 for reserved and $99 for end zones or something like that.How much were they last year? I know I'll be at TN T and Duke.

The man is doing everything right so far.

Willing to give him a pass for 2024 and 2025 as long as they play hard and show improvement. Winning a title is going to be an uphill climb as long as Liberty is here, they're a G5 with P5 moneyHe's doing exactly what needed to be done in an effort to get a program that was in a coma off of life support. Now, the only question is can he actually win FB games as a HC and produce a conf title? If that happens we will look back and know that we could not have made a better hire.
Bingo. I view '24 as a wash. Want to see improvement in '25. By '26 we should be in the hunt.Willing to give him a pass for 2024 and 2025 as long as they play hard and show improvement. Winning a title is going to be an uphill climb as long as Liberty is here, they're a G5 with P5 money
I commented on another thread about how this would be a make or break month here.
Don't disagree but if Middle is only 6-6 in '25 I don't view as a sign that they have the wrong guy. Mason hasn't been a HC for 3-4 yrs so he's building a staff from scratch while trying to sign 30-40 kids. Even if Mason is the right guy, double digit wins in Year 2 would take everything going right and that's just not reasonable due. If Middle was a P5 it's a different story maybe. 10 wins would take running the table on everyone not named Wisconsin or LibertyEvery coach that excels flips the script and makes the transition year happen by the second year - not the third. Agree we won't contend in '24, but '25 is absolutely doable if we have the right man. Especially with the portal.
Y'all had that long thing on Deion. It was never going to happen this year, but watch them next year. If you look at other good or great coaches they are double digit win teams in year 2.
40 scholarship signees is half the roster and building a winning culture takes time. Also a non-con of Ole Miss , Duke and Memphis. If Mason can win 8 games in Year 1, you certainly won't hear me complainingI don't know why yall think 2024 is a wash? It will depend on what he gets in these 40 ships and how he coaches. It's CUSA, this thing can flip real easy.
This is why I won't complain over a bowl next year. Yes that is a low bar overall, but for a first year coach replacing nearly half the roster, a new DC and possibly a new OC, I'll be happy bowling. That is what I mean when I say wash. We have a tough OOC schedule but overall it is still all favorable. Open with a FCS for once, one of our P5s is Home and also with a new staff. Our G5 is only a bus ride away. WKU is also at home and we might get Kennesaw as well.40 scholarship signees is half the roster and building a winning culture takes time.

5) I'm really interested in HOW CDM adapts to MT current / incoming personnel vs how he recruits to get HIS personnel. MT probably doesn't have the horses to run a traditional "pro-style" scheme right now. Which is why recruiting a few more JUCO / portal guys with some beef is so important for 2024/2025 so these HS guys can get a RS year under their belt. Does MT have the enough TEs on the roster NOW or will they need a signee to contribute in 2024Gonna pump the brakes on expectations for a few reasons :
1) Recruiting seems to be well, but CDM has roughly ~40 scholarships available.
2) He’s done a good job of recruiting some BIG guys on the OL, but most HS OL guys will need a RS / year in a college strength program to be ready to play on this level.
3) He still needs to replace several guys for THIS YEAR (portal spots) along the the DL, secondary, OL and probably another WR.
4) The staff is still incomplete. Who, what, and where will make a big difference in how things go.
Don’t get me wrong. He’s done ALL the right things, but there’s a LOT of work that needs to be done.
The only other guy we have committed in the front seven is OLB Chris Thomas. He is a bit undersized but should be a good player for us.I'd be pumping the brakes big time. We lost all starting DL and half the 2 deep along with most of our LB's. Havn't seen a single DL signed outside of that young undersized DE sign. I don't care about all these finesse positions we are signing.
Where are the men up front, inside the tackles, front 7 war daddies defense ? That is where games are won and lost and I've yet to see any of them with this class.
It’s a little surprising that Mason being a Defensive minded coach with a good resume in terms of coaching at bigger programs, can‘t pull back some of the guys that entered the portal. Our defensive position coaches and defense coaching talent has been upgraded, but we still can’t keep guys that were here before?I'd be pumping the brakes big time.

They have to go to add from the portal then.
Yeah the ones going P5 I doubt would really consider it. The others are meh at best. Not really concerned with losing the others. I’d rather have guys that want to be here.the defensive guys that entered the portal, that has found a P5 home is getting a bag of money
