FOOTBALL Middle Tennessee at James Madison (ESPN+) 5 pm, Saturday, September 3, 2022

sportsurge.net never fails if you can't find it anywhere else
We certainly didn’t upgrade there either.
For every loss, Rick should pay the college $100,000..who is with me?
Just like we expected tonight when we looked like a pee wee team at their first practice, the Raiders typically play better in week two. If that pattern continues, we win a close one at CS, return home and pull away from TSU late then off to Miami for a whooping where we are 2-2. From there the typical upset followed by letdown and before you know it Massaro is posting his toes in the water while McPhee watches the asses in the sand on a Bahama beach. And we the fans remain in football purgatory.
No run game kills us. Everyone knows they don't have to defend the run so they can shift all their effort to the pass and boom. You have today. 3 and out after 3 and out, wearing our defense down by halftime. It makes us entirely one dimensional.
We aren't going anywhere this year if they don't get that fixed.

This has to be one of the most demoralizing starts to a season and that has absolutely nothing to do with JMU, they have an excellent history in FCS and I'm sure they'll be fine in FBS. I was expecting a loss and was still disappointed today...WTF
I thought we looked very small, and not very physical offensively, especially on the OL. I don't know how you fix that in season. I don't expect an FBS first timer like JMU to be the most beastly physical team we play all year. Probably towards the bottom of the list in truth.
If we got dominated up front vs JMU, I don't know how we're going to hold up against some of the other teams on the schedule.
We all know this team has never put out that much talent - we don't recruit well and don't develop them much when they get here. But there's usually one or two diamonds that elevate the entire team - guys like a Blankenship or Brent Stockstill that come to mind. I didn't see anyone on the field today that looked like that guy. I hate to come across as bashing our guys, but we just don't look like we have very many FBS level football players on this roster.
A typical year in other words. Sadly.
But it won't be easy. Miami, UTSA, probably FAU are for sure losses. We never play WKU well and UAB will be tough too. This schedule isn't back loaded with bad teams like previous years. A few bad ones (Healy will probably be gone by the time we go to Charlotte) It'll be hard to get to 6. I'll always hope we can but sure as hell won't if we play like today.
I'll never root for my team to lose, not for draft picks, not for coaching changes, but this purgatory is brutal. I don't know what the number of wins is that keeps Stocksisyphus pushing that rock up the hill in 2023, but I'm sure we'll hit it.

I hope for 12, well 11 now. My point was in reply to zreed saying we might get to 5 or 6. After today, I don't see us winning more than 4.
I’m on a Labor Day holiday trip and didn’t bother to check the score again after I saw it was 21-0. Read through these threads and pages today and honestly, I have no further commentary other than I refuse to wear any MT gear or offer any support for this mess until the place is swept clean from the top down. McPhee and Massaro get exactly what they deserve for letting this Football program die a slow death.
Just one more thing………
WKU - 49
Hawaii - 17

I’m surprised it took this long tbh lol. Miami beat Bethune 70-13 yesterday and I think they’ll beat MT in a similar fashion.
FR, I hear ya.
I hate it too. Family was talking about picking one game to tailgate old school with the entire grove experience earlier in the week.
Looks like a weekend at Montgomery Bell camping is in order and enjoy the hopeful crisp air of fall.

This game was statistically the worst we've ever played and I can't imagine us improving enough to do anything against a team that at least scored vs. Michigan. If there is a rock bottom, we have to be close to it.
I almost didn't believe that we even had the ball for 23 minutes. In the first half, it had to be under 7. This no huddle quickfire spread crap is terrible and has never really worked that well. Even wTF would slow the game down and vary the tempo. Getting into a hurry to do nothing is dangerous and stupid especially when the passes aren't connecting. As much as I hate to say it, we now almost have to root for us to not win a game so it can possibly bring about some sort of change. However, even if we went 0-12, they would find some reason to keep him. It's what it is.

If JT is off the bandwagon, there really is no one left.
Same here. Thought about breaking my pledge and stick my toe back in the water for the TSU game. Figured it had the potential for a good home crowd and some what of a game day experience.
Now that this program is officially dead I’ll just head over to Woodfin and offer up my condolences.
RIP

HARRISONBURG, Va. — Folks like to say that numbers never lie. It's one of the biggest fallacies in life itself. Numbers lie to us all the time, rarely telling the

Ok. 2 things.
1) the only one asking questions was the staff writer for our own website who has is office down the hall from Stock! Pitiful.
2) Jordan said it. "They did some stuff we weren't ready for." That's coaching!!!
It's all coaching. That whole game if you watched it, you can see the players confused AF. They were running into each other and just out of position. They didn't know what to do. That's coaching and communication. 100%
Yup. There were some plays that literally looked like my 7 year old's Smurf team. Blocking with no purpose.
