Head Baseball Coach

[SpaceRaider]

No matter the reasons there are no legit excuses for not making the conference tournament. The facts are this program has floundered around like fish in the bottom of a leaky old boat, and much like the fish, the longer things go on, the stink around the program becomes more offensive.

I wonder if Steve Smith harbored resentment toward Donnelly, Stanford, or Peterson. There is no justification for the poor performance of football, baseball, and basketball, or the removal of their broadcasts from WMOT, apart from sabotage.

I honestly think the whole leadership group (M&M and crew) are just so risk averse, they'd rather chug along then make changes that might lead to greater achievement. You can see it in their own job fortunes - how long have they been here at a G5 mid-level program/school - why haven't they attempted to move up in the athletic/academic world?

We saw it with the football program - they would have rolled with Stock forever if the lack of fan support hadn't reached a critical point. Now, that's football, so it matter if your fan base dwindles. If your football team is bad, you lose enough support to hurt.

Baseball isn't the front porch or the sport that brings in the funds, so it will likely never get to that point where they feel like they will need to make a change. If your baseball team is good or bad, that probably doesn't move the fan needle too much in either direction.

It's just easier to roll with mediocrity than but in the effort or risk.

I can’t even expect a disruptor to be hired in leadership because I am fully convinced (thanks Lynn) that everything is intentional at the highest level.

Keep MT in their place.

Look at what Alabama did to UAB. Look what a UT student did to our chances at a Law school.

This school will always be intended to be little or kept in its place.

Except it really wasn’t Bama. It was largely just a small group of influential Bama boosters and only toward football. UAB thrives as an academic institution.

AFAIK no other state is as overtly and egregiously hostile to a member state school like this state. Combine that with incompetent leadership incapable of fighting for itself and this Univ just gets rolled over like new hot pavement.

Not everything is a conspiracy theory, you dullard.

By whom?

The state! UT memphis have the votes

You are absolutely right. They COULD be mouth-breathing idiots like you, but no one is that stupid.

The only reason to discontinue athletic broadcasts from WMOT is to suppress athletics. They're subversive.

 

[THEBLUERAIDER]

You got me, you COVID-denying, MAGA worshipping, lunatic.

lol, UT does not care about MTSU. MT is the only thing holding MT back.

Maybe not athletically.

And it appears he's still here. It's stunning how incompetent this administration is.

Probably having one of those behind closed doors meeting to determine the best time to announce an extension.
Incompetent is being kind.

Meanwhile both Coastal and Southern Miss hosting regionals.

But all is well in the Boro right now. I mean we’re just going to keep cranking out those sub 500 seasons but hey it’s close enough for grenades horse shoes and m-TSU athletics.

Isn't it telling that we keep having these same conversations about all of the men's major sports? Hmm.

Blue Raider Baseball has only one winning season in the last 10. Covid 2020 (7-10) included. Pitiful.

2022 - (29-26), (17-13)

The whole thing just amazes me. Sure football is really the money maker etc etc. But of all the sports, you'd think baseball would be better. You'd think the Chairman of the Board, a BRHOF member who played baseball and has the clubhouse with his name on it, and who has his father's name on the field itself would be raising absolute holy hell with CM over this.

He could over lots of athletics things, but you'd think baseball would be his baby.

Add it to the list of things that make zero sense around here.
