He's a great coach who built that team from the ground up. 26 years. Wow. Much respect.

Excitement is in the air for Blue Raider football

The opening week of college football season always brings a lot of excitement. Everybody has dreams of this being “THE” year and hope is plentiful. There is excitement stirring in the Middle Tennessee State football program, but for the Blue Raiders it may be for slightly different reasons. As...

Does anyone else think the staff is pretty puckered up right now over winning this game????? 😂😂😂

Lose to Monmouth and we’ve probably heard our last Coach Stockstill Live Show for the rest of the season. 😂😂

I was listening to the replay/podcast of local station's all sports talk show from Monday. One of the local co-hosts repeatedly described Monmouth as a DII program (not FCS, but Division II) and the other co-host did not correct him, so did the other co-host also not know better?

These guys are there, when Monte Hale is not, to talk sports. That perception of Monmouth as DII must be pretty prevalent among most casual fans. A loss to this FCS will be pretty bad, but the perception will be, if it's a loss, by a lot of people who have not heard of Monmouth previously, that it will perceived to be a loss to a DII program.

Thats a good point. We may know how good they are, but the casual fan has absolutely no idea.

That being said, I think we win pretty squarely.

Listening to this week's all sports talk podcasts and on two separate days Monte Hale Jr has incorrectly stated that the year MT lost opener to McNeese State the Raiders went on to win 10 games that season. That is incorrect.

Hale absolutely knows this is a game MT can lose.

I think the large majority of fans doesn't know the difference between DII and 1-AA (or FCS). If you correct them, you'll just be seen as trivial.

It took me less than 2 min to Google and confirm MT finished 8-4 in 2012 after losing to McNeese in the home opener…..and I’m no “media guy”. 😂😂

 

[MTLynn]

Since stockstill believes in playing not to lose (he talks about it in an interview linked in this thread) MT may very well lose this game.

I expect it. If I was a betting man I would bet heavily on it. If MT wins it will likely be more in spite of Stockstill than due to him. If we have a winning season I will attribute it to our new OC.

We're trolling an FCS school with our beer? We don't have a lot of room to talk smack and give out bulletin board material given our track record. Mark this one an L. I hope I'm wrong.

Who's our starting QB? Bailey Hockman out with knee injury?

Who's our starting QB? Bailey Hockman out with knee injury?

not doubting you, but source?

Chase Cunningham would start if Bailey is out.

 

[BlueSioux]

Former CUSA member Tulsa loses to Cal Davis a team that went 3-2 in the spring season and 5-7 in 2019. Monmounth is a much better team than Cal Davis.

This is the real danger of breaking in a new QB. Tulsa is a good team with a ton of returning talent. But not at QB. And when your QB goes 15/28 with 2 INT's and 0 TD in his first game you are going to lose 95% of the games you play, regardless of the opponent.

They make a beer for every home game exclusive to the beer garden. I think you are reading too much into this. Tennessee State didn't beat us when the beer garden had Here Kitty, Kitty Belgium Style Wit Beer.

It was a closer game than it should have been. 🙂

Not true, no knee injury that I've heard of, not sure who is the starter.

Thank God we had Asher O'Hara to keep us from losing that game, because it would have been a L without him.

I love most beer as my username alludes to. I am associated with 2 breweries and a distillery. And I can say unequivocally that gose is an abomination. I take serving that style as the special of this game to be a bad omen. Weizenbock, American wheat, weissbeir, another wit, wiesse beer. Anything but a gose.

I was not defending the type of beer. I brew my own and will probably never brew a gose. Just saying I don't think Monmouth is going to use it as "billboard material".

I know your point.

It’s a terrible style. Bad mojo for Saturday.

A good football team shouldn't need billboard material to beat their opponent. If MT loses it won't be because of a name of a beer, but it might end up toward the end of a long list of excuses we would hear after the game.
