RE: MT, WKU could play doubleheader at Bridgestone
Our AD was asked about it tonight at an event, and he did not seem as excited about it as MTSU's AD then...He said were in preliminary talks and it would be a doubleheader with the women if it happens...
Another note Stansbury mentioned tonight we will be playing in the Battle for Atlantis in 2017, that is huge!

RE: MT, WKU could play doubleheader at Bridgestone
Can any of you all read? Nothing in the article suggests that WKU and MT would be playing each other in a non-conference game. The Hilltoppers and Blue Raiders would each play a different non-conference opponent in a double-header. This is a great idea, you could get teams to sign two-year deals where they play MT one year and WKU the next, in Nashville. The target would be Power 5 schools since they're not easy to get into C-USA gyms.

You're going to be really embarrassed when you reread the article. It's clearly talking about a doubleheader between WKU and MTSU men and women.

Does anyone at the Post ever proofread their articles before throwing them up on the Internet? At least the DNJ edits their stuff.
Nor do I understand why the Boro has two dailies.

Maybe you need to reread dude...Its clearly purposing a doubleheader 3rd game between our women and men's team vs. MTSU at Bridgestone Arena...What we want is similar to a few years ago when MTSU played Vandy and we played UT in Doubleheader at Bridgestone, however that is not the purposal....

No friend, it would be MT WBB vs WKU WBB and MT MBB vs WKU MBB.

I can't imagine why...
Last 7 years:
MT Men 9-2
MT Women 12-2
I wouldn't want to play us either if I were you.

And those have been our worst 7 years in a long time. Our coaching hires have struck out. If it wasn't for Kermit beating us a few times early he would have been canned along time ago.

That sounds like a WKYOU problem

B4A is always a good field. In 2017 it'll have Arizona and Villanova as the likely highlight teams, along with Purdue, Mississippi State and N.C. State. Two spaces still open.
B4A is probably the best thing CUSA has its name attached to.
