Relax buddy, y'all got a good win but you barely got it. It was a game of luck and the ball bounced your way. Congrats.

Everyone in the Mid Tennessee area was expecting some rough storms and severe weather. That's enough to keep folks away in this town. It didn't happen during the game but the bottom let out as soon as I got home. It is what it is.

It actually had nothing to do with the ball bouncing? It had to do with the ability to count

Then you didn't watch the game. The 12 man penalty with 1:10 left was no guarantee of anything. We had plenty of opportunities squandered well before that.

It was a guarantee that MTSU wasn’t going to have a chance to win the game at the end giving up a first down with no timeouts

You guys are arguing two different things.

Suffice it to say, we put ourselves in a position to lose like that by squandering chance after chance, including a failed 3rd down conversion just a few minutes earlier.

I know USM's attendance has been terrible lately so there's a little pot calling the kettle black going on here but if USM was hosting the conf. champ game we'd have 36k easily.

PS. Congrats UAB!

Get real. You would have about 25,000. You couldn't even get 36k in the former version of CUSA.

25k is still much better than what MTSU put up yesterday. Maybe CUSA would've been better off taking CHATT than MTSU

What about how yours will look going forward without Kermit?

Plus, if CHATT could've kept Will Wade or a host of other coaches that have been poked from them the last couple of years, how would they look? I have no beef with MTSU, except for the fact that y'all think you're on the same level as Memphis. That is laughable both academically and athletically.

None of those thing affected UAB

UAB had ok attendance at this game ...maybe 3k but thats nothing to brag about when for most UAB fans this was a 2 to 2.5 hour drive. Hell UAB fans could have ate a late breakfast at home, drove to the game and been home for Dinner. Dont get any easier than that for a road championship game

Should have easily had double what you had ... with the threat of rain

At the moment, it doesn't much matter what our MBB looks like, you made the asinine suggestion that CUSA should have taken FCS Tennessee-Chattanooga over us, I think CUSA is quite happy with our MBB credits despite our currently checked out FB fanbase.

And you clearly have beef with Middle Tennessee, we don't really think that much about Memphis in truth.

I do recall our five game football series being signed and a bunch of Memphis fans saying you guys would blow us out in the first year or two and buyout the remainder of the series, that series(after being expanded to 7 games) finishing 5-2 in favor of Middle though...

You seem like a smart person so tell me what you said has to do with any part that you quoted? It doesn't but my answer if Weather was not a factor for UAB fans or didn't play into it....you had a light turnout for a championship game game 2 to 2.5 hours away for a "dream season"

But since you brought up going bowling...

I can tell you that Western easily had 6 to 8k at Bowl games in Detroit, Boa and Miami. That first one was during a blizzard on the drive up for most fans...not a Birmingham blizzard of 1/2 inch of snow but 8 to 14 inches the farther north you went

Congratulations on making the 3rd bowl in the history of your program and the championship

I'm NOT TROLLING! I'm pointing out facts... It is true that MTSU leads the series in football, but that doesn't make MTSU a better football program, historically. Just as Auburn leads the football series with Tennessee. But in no way is Auburn's football history anywhere close to Tennessee's football history.

Has MTSU ever beaten Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Florida, Florida State. etc etc etc etc. Because that school located in Southwestern Tennessee that you think you're on par with has and even has a winning record against a couple of them.

Try 17-9. But I guess you subscribe to facts that are inaccurate, if you're really trying to play that game. What have I said that isn't a fact, but merely an opinion? Other than the comment about UTC being a better fit than MTSU???? I'll be waiting

The only person talking about Middle Tennessee and Memphis "being on par" is you talking nonsense about what MT fans believe.

If you look around at our fanbase who exactly is chest beating right now? What Blue Raider fan is talking about Memphis right now?

What's with this troll crusade you're on?

But you most definitely knew how many wins MTSU had, and shorted Memphis by almost half their victories. So you make that argument very hard to believe, you prick.
I root for all the in state schools. I don't see how me being critical of your woeful attendance is me trolling. I didn't even start the damn thread. I'm just merely pointing out facts, and yes, some opinions, which have apparently struck a chord with you. As to come out and call me a troll. I engage in thoughtful banter, and enjoy debating issues that face many G5 schools. You just don't like to hear the truth on this beautiful Sunday morning, clearly.

You honestly sound a lot like I did when I was your age, needling fans and then saying things like "you don't like facts".

Look I'm very bored with this conversation at this point, as with all trolls, I know how important having the last word is, so please be my guest in taking it, I have better things to do(like literally anything) than argue with a Memphis troll still upset that Middle owned you in football when you were an undergrad.

Well, I'm a Tennessee alum, actually. So, you probably hate me even worse now Memphis is my hometown team, so I still root for them second to anyone else. And actually, if you want to get down to Middle owning us while I was an undergrad in Knoxville. You never have beaten us, and certainly didn't that time we played in 2011, nor did you in 2002 when you had Tyrone Callico and ole "tape by headsets together" Andy McCollum

Once again, not sure how this is trolling. I made a comment about how bad attendance was at that game, TO NO ONE IN PARTICULAR, on a thread, where many others said the exact same thing. You angrily responded to me, and I responded to you. So this "WHOLE" last word crap is cheap and something you wanted to introduce to the conversation as a means to get out of it. If you want a troll, go hate on the Southern Miss fans that started this thread. Otherwise, I've got no use for you throwing around hasty generalizations, that for one, aren't even accurate.

It’s true you know. I live in Memphis. Even when I drive by the liberty bowl I don’t think of memphis football
