FOOTBALL Your prediction for Homecoming?

Me too.
In looking towards this season and looking for additional wins to add to the W column, I thought MT might be able to grab a win from either latech/wku. I thought we might have a chance in three 'revenge' games (vandy, latech, wku) at least twice. But seeing how MT has come out each of the first two revenge games, slow, and/or error plagued, uninspired, I think that is likely what we will see against the hilltoppers. Whether we are able to get going quickly enough, and cut out turnovers/penalties/dropped passes, to stay with wku's scoring and pull out a win is concerning to me. Plus, MT is not really used to playing with a target on its back. MT leads the conference, something they don't normally do, while the defending champs want to regain the upper hand.
Hope I am wrong, but this game feels like one of those home games where there's reason for fans to turn out wanting to see a beat down of the opponent, only to watch the Raiders drop a big turd on the field.
wku 51
MT 41
Prove me wrong Raiders.

Given our track record with big home games and crowds, it is easy to think we will lose this one in typical heartbreaking fashion...but this year just feels different, especially with Tony Franklin calling plays.

Like old faithful, MT fails to show up in a big game at home in front of a hyped up crowd:
WKU 44
MT 31
Attendance: 22,222

I'm sure we have. As far as the chrome helmets my main objection to wearing them is on sunny game days when my eyes are assaulted by tiny pin point beams of sunlight reflecting off the helmets. Only should be worn under the stadium lights at night.
MT 38 WKU 27. This is going to be a nail biter into the 4th, but things are going to turn back our way. 12-1 in CUSA home games since moving.
Apparently those $9 tickets didn't attract any additional Walk-ups.
Taken right after score was 3-0

Halftime.....
Honestly, that looks like a pretty good crowd.
Anytime the lower bowl looks that filled, the fans have done a good job.
Too bad they were sent home disappointed for the like the 89th time.
For those who decided not to come and stay home to watch their beloved football team from east TN get beat worse than either MT or wku have by the Crimson Tide, they got what they deserved. Roll F'n Tide. LOL.
They need to keep the deals until and after kickoff until there is a demand. Having a couple days to get a deal is not going to do an awful lot. I almost didn't come but I just knew we would win so I paid $18 endzone prices for myself and two of my four children. (facepalm)
Regarding the $9 tickets. I bought $60 worth of lunch. Do the administrative team not see the multiplier effect? I didn't order 5 dollar pretzels or hotdogs because they tasted good. The sun made me thirsty so a boatload of ice with some pepsi had to be purchased.
I just think we have a very old school way of attracting fans. I have been given free predators tickets multiple times in different forms from the Preds front office. The most creative way was when I had a "ticket" on my car from "Officer Gnash" for not having enough predator colors on my car. I rolled up on my car mad as all get out, opened up the ticket envelope on my windshield for a 4 ticket voucher. I bought $100 work of suds and food that night.

Thank you. This is what they are completely clueless about.
