FOOTBALL Middle Tennessee @ Louisiana Tech (ASN), 2:30PM, Saturday, October 24

[AustinLewis]

I have a young relative who is "friends" with a huge (to me) group of friends from high school, his church when growing up, Boy Scouts, college, and previous work experiences. This is especially true if these "friends" are socially elite or have been successful. Something he learned (?) early on about "contacts" and "networks". Don't know how much that has helped his career but it has done a lot for his social life.

All that said, it seems that coaches who desire to stay in the profession tend to make as many "friends" as possible. Never know when you will be either looking for a new job or for an assistant. Definitly easier to keep in contact with today's social media. I am acquainted a high school coach who keeps in regular contact with dozens of "friends" he has made in the profession. Never know when you will need them.

Football is a "network based profession." Sometimes, it's more about you who you know than what you know. Considering it is a "high stakes job", you want people who you are close to you on your staff - not those who will turn on you the first chance they get

 

[blueraiderJT]

Just depressing. Please put Grammer in.

 

[BRaiderDave]

We might, MIGHT beat North Texas, but we won't win another game other than that.

Google Rip Scherer and his replacement at Memphis.

 

[SmithO1906]

The way we look north Texas has us circled on their schedule

 

[SmithO1906]

Just depressing. Please put Grammer in.

Kelly Holcomb can't help us

 

[FranklinRaider315]

Their back-up QB comes in a rips off a15 yard keeper.

 

[blueraiderJT]

Byard is out right now,

 

[TrueBlue147]

Another beatdown. Game over before halftime. This is how we show up anytime we play any team with a pulse.

Somebody needs a total ass chewing at halftime. It probably should start with Stock and the assistants

 

[BRaiderDave]

The whole damn coaching staff needs to be fired immediately.

 

[ToddMalone]

Shoot, Man. Dang ol' groundhog day...two weeks ago. Deja Vu.

I would add Massaro to that list as well

 

[blueraiderJT]

I gotta say that I'm close to being done with this. I care too much and it's just silly to root for a team that does nothing but lays eggs when it matters. Just tired of the constant disappointment and I've been a diehard. I have over a decade of history with this board to prove that but this is just pathetic.

 

[JohnDavidBlue]

At least Memphis beat Tulsa!

 

[Middle Mike]

I keep wondering if we are this bad. Should technically lose to Illinois and Vandy, but we hung in there with Alabama. This is bad. Our receivers and running backs get drilled constanly because the D knows what is coming.

 

[blueraiderJT]

I don't blame Franklin315 for liking Memphis. They are undefeated. They are going for their second kick butt season in a row. I can't blame people for liking a successful team. Wish we knew how to perform like that.

 

[JohnDavidBlue]

I'm just teasing ole franklin. They have a lot to be be proud of.

 

[MTBig Blue]

I'm not one to call for coaches heads but something has to be done. It may have to start with a new AD and trickle down from there. I just can't believe we are stuck with this for at least 6 more years.

 

[FranklinRaider315]

The whole damn coaching staff needs to be fired immediately.

Wow!

 

[blueraiderJT]

It's painful listening to Chip. Sorry, but he is awful. That other dude for color is worse. So ready for this one to be done. Arrrrgh.

It took a complete purge of the Athletic Dept. and it started with West in '09. He didn't see it coming and his rant afterwards made it evident. He should have been cut loose in '06 after going 2-10, 1-7 in a weak C-USA.

 

[blueraiderJT]

We are in til 2023 right? That's 8 more years.

Buford is a former Blue Raider DB.

 

[blueraiderJT]

I agree about the coaching staff. I just don't have anything good to say. No heart or plan. I sound terrible but this is awful.

 

[FranklinRaider315]

We are in til 2023 right? That's 8 more years.

Yes. Unless you want to write the check.

 

[blueraiderJT]

Buford isn't the color guy today. It's another dude.

 

[blueraiderJT]

Bro, if I had the cash, his a$$ would be gone tomorrow.

 

[blueraiderJT]

However, I think I'll save my money and not renew my season tix next year. I'm about there now.

 

[FranklinRaider315]

Buford isn't the color guy today. It's another dude.

I'm watching it on TV. I never listen to the radio broadcast.

 

[blueraiderJT]

Another pick. I rest my case.

 

[FranklinRaider315]

Great. Another TO followed up with a late hit out of bounds.

 

[SmithO1906]

Can we rent a plane to fly near campus the morning of the Marshall game like the Miami fans have been doing lol

 

[BRaiderDave]

Buford isn't the color guy today. It's another dude.

This is former MT DB Chris Johnson as the color guy today.

 

[blueraiderJT]

Well his Maddenesque "We need to get points here" commentary is amazing. SMH
LatTech gets it back.

 

[FranklinRaider315]

Did they just say we are 18-84 when trailing at the half?

 

[BRaiderDave]

18-84 record when we're behind at the half??? What. In. The. Bloody. Hell????

 

[FranklinRaider315]

And two Blue Raider d-linemen just wiped each other out on that LaTech scramble for a first down. Comical.

 

[SmithO1906]

So I wonder why we wait until we're down by 25 to start bringing pressure on defense

Maybe we don't want to show the good stuff to Marshall FAU and North TX?
