Hmph.

He can go straight to....

nevermind, not worth it.

Wonder when it is time to let this rest.

Yes- we seemed under prepared in 2003.

May be time for the mocking to end.

At this point, never. If we'd been ready when it mattered we might be in Louisville's position. As it is..........

Not the time to "let this rest"

Being "under prepared" in 2003 has cost this university untold millions in past and future revenues.

The best part of this?

HE got a gosh damn golden parachute.

The only solace I take is that he'll get what he deserves one day.

One way or another.

Does RC reimburse for the Tranghese wining, dining and "consultant" fees?

Does RC reimburse for anything?

"seemed" under prepared? I think it was quite obvious.

Whoa, quick hands on that one.

No but seriously, maybe some people could try a coping method other than reveling in misfortune and/or sarcastically dredging up things our terrible old AD said at the happiest moment we've had as a fan base in the history of ever.

I guess it is better to mock...(vent)...certainly helps gin up support for the next game.

what's the over/under on how many people think they are witty and post that quote today? I've seen it at least 8 times already. My my, we have a witty bunch on this board.

Some people are pissed, and want to vent- and he is certainly the most public and most recent person that contributed to this dumspter fire of an athletic department that Tom Bowen is having to spend valuable time FIXING instead of moving us forward.

Allow people to vent, be bitter, be frustrated, whatever...and however they choose.

At least folks give a damn.

It takes less originality and thought to be typically snarky.

Well put above- that in February everyone was happy and RCJ reflected that.

It is a sad state.

Folks can let this be a killer, or they can continue to support the University of Memphis. The vents will wane and hopefully folks pay attention to the next game(s).

I can tell you now many of the "fans" in our section will kill their own enjoyment of the next few games...because why be fired up about our kids playing a top ten team in Louisville when it is easier to make fun of something.

Play the games. Support the teams.

that's a double-edged sword. By saying that, then you are also agreeing that others can bash them for what they say, b/c it could be there way of venting. When I'm pissed I call out idiotic things and statements, both publicly and privately (like calling out an idiotic thing on the radio in the car when I'm the only one there. I'm bitching to myself, lol)

We would not have been added in 03 if Jesus was the AD, I can't believe some of you don't realize this. Just look who is causing all of the ruckus right now, that's who didn't want us in back then.

Maybe. Maybe not. I have a hard time believing that if Jurich was hired by Memphis in 1996 instead of by Louisville in 1997 that we would been left out. It's conjecture either way.

These are all facts:

1. 2003 shoudl have been a HUGE wakeup call for us
2. Our AD ad the time promised that we would be the most prepared for the "next round" of expansion
3. After such public proclomations we did virtually nothign to improves facilties or our standing for about five years
4. We have been woefully underprepared for the "next round" of expansion

Nope! He used his frequent diner points and "2 Fer's" at Houston's for that.

We went to five bowl games and averaged around 40,000 per game from 03 forward until DeAngelo left and TWest imploded. We weren't prepared because the pecking order was still high. In that time frame we had the most successful basketball program in the nation and one of the most attended.

Turn it around, if Jurich had been at Memphis, would Lville have gotten in?

Burn in hell Johnson
