i think MTSU got around 6-7 free timeouts today

The MTSU "injuries"...

lol they are salllllllllty! The few times we've knocked off a P5 school, it's been enjoyable to read their boards afterward. Rarely is our team congratulated. It's always the above, we cheated, played dirty, it's our "super bowl" etc.

And I don't think Brady was intentionally trying to hurt their QB. Just a few plays prior they were walking together and laughing like they were buddies.

They keep talking about the emotional return of Shafer but not one complement that we are a decent team.

The thing about the 4th quarter drop was that Big Stock called a timeout anyway. So, it really meant nothing in the grand scheme of things...

They are making excuses

They were legit injuries. One look at all our posts is proof that our coaching staff isn't smart enough to be that strategic.

Always fun to see how these P5 schools come up with all types of excuses as to why they lost to us. Hey you LOST....grow a pair. And we do pretty well against ACC schools don't we?

We may have a higher winning % against the ACC than Cuse does!
