Nothing in this article that hasn't been talked to death on this board and in other locations. Can't really disagree with the points made.
I do wish the author had spent a few weeks in the area. Only then can you see that the area, both in the media and in the stuff you see, is dominated by $EC, Power 6, and Pro sports.
[As an aside, I live in the mid-state (not in Rutherford) and I'm almost equally in distance from The Boro and Nashville. Unfortunately, I'm beginning to see more Belmont stuff than MT. Seems as their much small student and alumni base is more proud of their school than MT's much larger base; and they don't even have FB.]
