from the DNJ, a late bulletin:

Sun Belt commissioner guarantees MTSU bowl bid

Sun Belt Conference commissioner Wright Waters guaranteed that “MTSU will definitely be in a bowl game.”

Waters made the remark and then repeated it during a phone interview on “All Sports Talk” on WGNS 1450-AM.

MTSU (7-5) is in discussions with the Motor City Bowl (Dec. 26), where it is projected to face Central Michigan by ESPN.com, USA Today, College Football News and CBS Sportsline.

Central Michigan accepted the Motor City Bowl bid Tuesday morning.

A bid for the Blue Raiders could come from the Motor City Bowl as soon as Wednesday.

MTSU athletic director Chris Massaro said he still “cautiously optimistic” about the Blue Raiders’ bowl chances.

“I’m a little more conservative, but I am optimistic for Middle Tennessee,” Massaro said. “I think this team deserves it.”

For further details and reaction, check out dnj.com and Wednesday’s edition of The Daily News Journal.

Shouldn't we have 3 bowl teams?

Doesn't Louisiana-Lafayette get a bowl invitation if they beat Monroe on Saturday?

Won't ULL be 7-5 and by NCAA rules have to be selected before any bowl can select a 6-6 team that wasn't a conference champion?

What's the math? How many teams have better than 6-6 records and how many bowl slots are available?

I would almost rather go to the Motor City Bowl as opposed to the NO Bowl, as it has better name recognition.

You’d rather go to Detroit in December than New Orleans? unsure.gif

Actually you’d rather go to Detroit at ANY TIME rather than New Orleans? The idea of a bowl is a reward for a good season - not a punishment!

I didn't say I would rather go to a particular CITY over another one, I just said from the way people look at the BOWLS, the Motor City Bowl is a more recognized bowl than the NO Bowl.

      Hope he makes the roster. Would be fun to watch him sling it in the NFL.

      How Mean Green softball is shaping up in 2025 and beyond

      In my relatively short time as a Mean Green fan, I don't think I've seen a team so carried by seniors. This weekend's series was the last three games at Lovelace for 10 Mean Green seniors, and all but one (Truitt) was either an everyday starter or saw significant playing time. Here's who will be returning barring any transfers. All classifications are what they will be in 2025. Likely starters (in my opinion) Rylee Nicholson (SR) - UT Cierra Simon (SR) - SS Madison Conley (SO) - UT Tatum Sparks (JR) - UT Elizabeth Moffitt (SO) - C Jodie Epperson (JR) - OF Returning Pitching Staff Skylar Savage (SR) Mackenzie Childers (JR) Kayleigh Smith (SO) Returning, but will they play? Mikaela Olguin (JR) - OF Emma Grahmann (SR) - IF Blayze McNemar (SO or RS-F?) - OF Maci George (SO or RS-F?) - IF There doesn't appear to be a website to find commits for softball, so through social media, here are the incoming freshmen I have found: Katy Brock, OF, Mabank Shelby Buffington, P, Franklin Page (Tennessee) Rylie Harris, C, Forney Gracie Mahoney, P, Macomb Dakota (Michigan) - another 6 footer, like Skylar Ausha Moore, IF, Carl Albert HS (Midwest City, OK) Taylor Platt, OF, Argyle Committed Inbound Freshmen for 2026 Eva Daniels, IF, Forney Laila Nobles, IF, Pearland Addie Perry, UT/C, Aledo Love the Metroplex talent we are bringing in. Forney's currently the #1 team in the state. But looks like we still have a handful of spots to fill next year. Going to need to improve the hitting and power. Maybe we can land some home run threats in the portal who want to get closer to home. I'll post stories and highlights of the commits shortly.

      Hopefully after a few more years we will all be more accepting of heartbreak. I got used to it in high school.
