We're pulling for you.

It actually makes sense for Memphis to make the move. The BE will be a basketball conference, and that is all most of you guys care about anyway.

New locker rooms at the Liberty Bowl have been added, a new weight room is on the books, a new indoor practice facility is on the books, and a new practice field is on the books. At the end of the season, we'll have a new coach too.
But keep on thinking that we're in a tizzy just because some anonymous caller spread a rumor on a radio show. We'll be the ones laughing when the BCS invitation is extended to Memphis.

We make more off basketball than most FBS teams make off football.

And every word of it is true. We did spend that money upgrading our facilities. And we're currently in conversations with the Big East--again.

I personally hope No One accepts an invitation from the Big East. I'd love for them all to say "No Thanks We're Good"

Yeah, because turning down all that extra money would be a good idea.
