MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee Athletics is again hitting the road for the 2025 Blue Raider Blitz, bringing coaches, staff, and special guests directly to fans across the mid-state. This year’s tour features five stops over four days, including a special ticketed event at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
From team updates and coach appearances to networking and giveaways, each stop will allow fans to engage with MTSU Athletics in a fun, casual setting.
The Nashville event will feature a media panel with head coaches Derek Mason, Rick Insell, Nick McDevitt, and Director of Athletics Chris Massaro. The media guest will be Chris “The Show Pony” Childers and Joe “BigJoeOnTheGo” Dubin. Childers, a 2004 MTSU graduate, hosts the very popular national radio show, Full Ride, on Sirius XM, while Dubin co-hosts The Chase and Big Joe Show in Nashville on 102.5 The Game (nominated for the best sports talk show in Tennessee). Dubin is a 1997 MTSU graduate.
Representatives from the MTSU Ticket Office and Blue Raider Athletic Association (BRAA) will be available at every location to answer questions and assist with 2025 football season ticket purchases. Fans in attendance will also be able to enter to win promotional prizes throughout the tour, including ticket packages, Blue Raider gear, and more!
