Whooo for a second I thought Dan B. was the one posting.
I suppose I'll let "Middle" count as a direction.
PS: Why "Middle" and not "Central"? If there is a reason, could our delightful MTSU lurkers inform us?
Because the state of Tennessee is divided into 3 official regions, since it's a very linear state. West TN where you have Memphis, Middle TN Nash, and East TN Knoxville. Three main regions. MTSU is in middle TN, near Nashville.
P.S. you're right, i've never heard of middle as a direction either.

),TN is the exact geographic middle of the state. Equal distance from all four corners if I am not mistaken. Hence, middle, not central.

Wait!What?
Who Knew?
From Wiki...Murfreesboro is the geographic center of the state of Tennessee. A stone monument marks the official site on Old Lascassas Pike, about a half-mile (800 m) north of MTSU.
and googling that brought this: http://www.nola.com/sportsflash/index.ssf?/base/sports-342/1281133699269680.xml&storylist=nola_sports
no idea if the link works but Middle Tenn is expecting to be 1 and 0 and ranked in the TOP 25 in 2010

It is true that Murfreesboro is the geographic center of the state and the marker for the exact point is a stone's throw from the stadium, however, the reason for Middle is the three regions of the state as stated by a previous poster. The three stars on the Tennessee flag represent the three regions of the state.
