Nothing until the Four Horsemen of the MT Apocalypse as Space mentioned are replaced. Get used to being stuck with the other refuse.
 
McPhee been here 20 years, Massaro and Stockstill for 16-17 years....

Like some one said recently, garbage stinks, and old garbage stinks more...
 
If conferences come together to make it regional, we will be ok. If all this ends up killing one of the G5, we will be in the outside looking in. OVC or SOCON here we come.
 
Yea it sucks. I graduated over a decade ago but still love the school and the time I spent there. Very sad to see whats happening, BUT its not over yet.

It just hope we are still playing in FBS when the dust settles. Preferably not with ULM, Troy, Tx State, Ga State.
 
Anybody else terrified on how this turns out?……


Just don't care anymore. We will be where we deserve to be. When you don't commit $$$ towards your programs, accept mediocre/poor results, allow incompetence to thrive.....you end up on the bottom.

We had our chances. We had most of the funding secured but chose not to break ground on new football facilities. We had a basketball program on the cusp of breaking onto the national scene and drove that into the ground like a nosediving airplane with the worst hiring of a basketball coach I've ever seen.

Our administration and "leaders" likely rationalize the situation as "It's Middle, we are doing the best we can do! We compete sometimes!"

The reality is they're terrible at their jobs and just coasting as long as they can for retirement. And because MT is basically a joke and we have no big boosters to put pressure on the university, their incompetence is allowed and thrives. As we've discussed for the last decade or more, there is zero accountability across the board.

We don't deserve to be anywhere other than where we are. And if we end up as an independent or in an FCS league, it is 100% our own damn fault and well deserved.

Given what ETSU and Randy Sanders did to Vandy last week and what Jacksonville St pulled off against FSU yesterday we probably need to avoid the SoCon and OVC as well. Div. II may be where we need to land. 😂😂
