I completely disagree. This, every bit of it, resides with leadership. They are completely responsible for growing the brand, finding donors and putting a successful product on the field. Blaming the fans is utter chicken 💩. How much support did Kermit get during his success? How about football after 09? Didn’t capitalize on the opportunity when it was right there to be taken. Any business that failed to that level would have had major consequences. Not here, we live for mediocrity. Also, Dr Walker had a vision and put the movement in motion and I would gladly take him today over the complete and utter disaster we have now.Just going to respond to this part. There are too many what ifs. And I'm going to say this as abruptly as I can. If this were Dr. Walkers mindset back in the 90's we would still be in the OVC. And there were a ton of people with the same mindset that's saying go to the MAC that wanted to stay I-AA. Exact same thinking. Probably even some of the same people.
This isn't all on McPhee and Massaro. We have an apathetic fan base that doesn't pressure leadership for their decisions. We come on message boards and bitch about it but that's about it. We have a tendency as a fan base to accept the least path of resistance, the least friction. As alums/fan base/etc we are somewhat culpable, because we don't demand excellence. We are the type of fan base that accepts the wrong conference invitation because it's safe and easy. We don't ever make the hard choices at MT. And as a base we don't press for the hard choices to be made. As I said before I just don't operate and think that way. I want to be better. Sports is all about competition. In the spirit of competition, this feels like settling.
I can’t argue agains that at all. I get it.I don't think you are being ignored. From what I have read is most don't trust our admins to do what is necessary to make it work. If your idea was a slam dunk, I think most would agree. Judy and M&M cast significant doubt and make it a huge risk.
Way past due.I can’t argue agains that at all. I get it.
That said, even a broken clock is wrong twice a day. As many bad decisions as they’ve made hoping we could finally luck into one. Seems like we’re due for something good to happen. Not a sideways or backwards move.
Except that’s wrong. Just how many years of revenue can MT give up? We can’t afford to leave a conference again anytime soon plus no one will touch us with a GOR. So that GOR issue that will damn sure make true the AAC and Sun Belt never touching us.Sit and wish? That’s not a plan. We are not that great. If we get great we will move up regardless of conference. If we stay middle, Mac trumps cusa. I think most agree we will stay middle so Mac is better!
Get it?
I’m not going to call out anyone specifically, but I’ve seen it multiple times people say AAC or SBC chances in the future are virtually zero. What do you all base this on? It amazes me that when I suggest that funds distributed from forfeited revenue by leaving programs is make believe but then it’s gospel that the MAC is the last ever opportunity. Fascinating. I mean really y’all??
MWC has strengthened. They will probably add again. More importantly, P5 moves aren’t done. Why would anyone think only the SEC is going to do something in this decade?? The ACC and Big 10 are right now at this moment pondering what they can do to close a gap that just got massive. They have to do something. The SEC which was already better just created separation by orders of magnitude. They won’t be able to do nothing.
My guess is the Big 10 is going to weigh options between schools like Iowa State, Kansas, Colorado, and Georgia Tech. Why these schools? They are the only institutions that can bring either AAU membership, a new media market, or both. They won’t be able to match SEC football but could steal media market share and enhance their basketball profile even more. Now that C-USA is going to survive staying until whatever happens next is our best course of action. It is certainly not squandering our future options and throwing them in the trash by signing a lengthy GOR agreement, because it is just an asinine decisions to pay money to go to a conference that isn’t going to be any better in any pecking order vs staying and receiving the benefits from the leaving schools forfeited revenues for two years. If college athletics is a business we really are operating like the Kmart of college sports. But whatever. Every fact I’ve offered has been ignored (like the false pretense that the MAC travel will be better) so I doubt my instincts on these issues will be listened to either.
I'm starting to get a sense that MT and the MAC couldn't agree on the GOR. Which is why the announcement wasn't made today. But that wkcc said screw it, we're going anyway and signing it.
Which is also why C-USA went ahead and made the announcement today of the four additions. In other words, C-USA gave a deadline of Friday for who was going to be part of the vote for the incoming schools and wkcc wasn't allowed to vote, but MT was.
Anyone either hearing that or having the same hunch?
I can live with the new C-USA for a little while with wkcc. Without them not sure I would feel as strongly about it. Can't believe I said that as much as I despise that school to the north.
Don’t feel bad. There is a Jacksonville University in Florida. They play in FCS and are in the pioneer conference (non-football scholarships).I 100% thought jacksonville state was in Florida. How dumb of me, but how many other casual fans thought the same. CUSA is becoming embarrassing.
If that is indeed the case and WKU joins and we refused to not sign the GOR then I’m officially done and moving on.I'm starting to get a sense that MT and the MAC couldn't agree on the GOR.

I really hope we were just being nice but I'm sure we jacked this up. If WKU goes and we don't, no travel partner. We will literally be right there with FIU and all of us are scattered all over the country. Plus, we lose our rivel. Gotta hope we schedule them in OOC from now on which is a revenue loss leader for them and us. It will be a mess but that's par for the course. Judy will make everything better.
I mean, losing WKU as a travel partner and rival just gives this area another reason to not support us. It's insane if they let this happen. Why am I a fan of this sh!tshow?If WKU and MT stay in C-USA I’ll be upset. If WKU goes to the MAC and we don’t I’ll be a histrionically angry raving lunatic.
Thank youI have a lot of patience with trolls, but you've posted a lot of condescending bullsh*t and you need to return to where ever you were posting and stay the
Seriously. If WKU goes and we don't... that will be a VERY, VERY bad move. I think the assumption has been if we stay in CUSA that WKU would too. Who's our rival if we stay? Jacksonville State??? FIU?????I mean, losing WKU as a travel partner and rival just gives this area another reason to not support us. It's insane if they let this happen. Why am I a fan of this sh!tshow?
I’ve made the same case.You know - after watching the Tuesday and Wednesday MAC games on ESPN this week, I really liked it. Playing on Saturdays can cause you to get lost in the shuffle a bit. Or there is a battle on Saturday at my house for the big tv to watch a bigger conference game. But when you are on during the week I really like that. And the games were exciting.
actually they no longer play, 2019 was there last seasonDon’t feel bad. There is a Jacksonville University in Florida. They play in FCS and are in the pioneer conference (non-football scholarships).
They dropped football a few years agoDon’t feel bad. There is a Jacksonville University in Florida. They play in FCS and are in the pioneer conference (non-football scholarships).
Next game to be broadcast with a beginners podcast kit from Radio Shack?Good news coming next week.
👏🏻 now that’s funny… and very trueThat game on "Stadium" today looked like it was shot with RING(tm) doorbell cameras.
There were small college games on ESPN+ today with better production value. Time to move to the MAC.
Good news coming next week.
I hope you mean for us both.Good news coming next week.
