There is no national brand for MT FB. Let’s try to win Murfreesboro
I know winning cures many ills, but never quite understood why can’t we pattern ourselves toward becoming like a Virginia Tech or Syracuse in our sports branding as a medium or long term goal? We’re still lot closer to our old OVC roots rather than national branding I alluded. Yes, Winning Murfreesboro is a formidable challenge from what I see with school spirit on many game days.
That’s the main point: MTmust be more deliberate and consistent, and it starts by continuing our winning ways in conference this year with an outright championship that we’ve been without since the OVC in 1992. Basically, need to go undefeated in conference to get a whiff of national branding or be ranked in top 25. It holds true in basketball where we also saw what a late season Marshall and USM loss does after being ranked for first time vs what P-5 teams may withstand to make NCAA’s. Other conferences seem to withstand body of work losses better and our conference leadership is not really helping with hodgepodge offerings and vague perceptions if we are to matter in winning Murfreesboro and the nation. Favorable Perception is the currency we are precariously short.
