FOOTBALL Middle Tennessee (3-8, 2-5) @ FIU (3-8, 2-5), (ESPN+), 1PM, Saturday, November 30, 2024

Oh, we played today. The fact I didn’t care to know that says more than anything else I could say

 

[MT01]

29-41 (.414) since playing for conf championship.

Where’s raiderdoug and all those excited to see how we would play against “weaker” teams?

I still remember everyone preaching patience when we were getting shit on by the goliaths of the world like WKU and Jax State….(this is sarcasm, by the way, these are supposed to be our peers)

I guess NMSU and FIU were too talented too LOL

What’s next we gonna try to see how we match up with the local high schools? Is that more our level?

Team looks worse with each passing week. I would say I’m ready for a new head coach but that process is futile. McPhee, Massaro, and Steve Smith have to be fired first or else they will just make the worst possible hiring decision all over again.

I'm thankful for Kennesaw State. If they did not join us we would be tied with NMSU for last place in the conference.
Something to think about.

Hard to believe two winters ago we were coming off of back to back bowl seasons & back to back bowl wins. Gonna be hard to even get back to that point I think.

Keeler is leaving SHSU for Temple, so hey, another team in rebuild mode!

I hate watching reply lol! As I saw on game day, Parker Hughes had him a sack coming if not for obvious hold on FIU 3rd down conversion at midfield on opening drive. Pass was caught inside or near the 5 yard line which set up their easy TD. CUSA officiating is absolutely atrocious!!! They sure flagged MTSU OL all year but we rarely got the hold calls when we did put pressure on. So many things worked against this team!

They have not been playing well.

But maybe you're right. If more of us threw daily hissy fits on a message board that has about 13 active posters, our guys would tackle better.

I saw that play too. Parker was looking around at the refs waiting for a flag to be thrown.
