BYU fans need to be knocked off that little perch they are sitting so proudly on...
i really want to root for memphis........ but im having a tough time doing it due to a small but growing contingent of memphis fans that have enjoyed sitting on their own perch.
at least byu has the history of fielding a successful team year in and year out. memphis had their first successful season in eons and suddenly their fans talk as if they are the best thing since sliced bread...... especially on how they behaved with the single realignment rumor that was in their favor out of the thousands that we have heard during the past few years.
yes, i know it was a few bad apples....... but they had quite a presence on this board.
I agree with you that Memphis fans should not be all cocky about one good season. And I'm one of the few that believe that we will not get into the Big12, nor do we deserve to, yet.
However reading through their board, most of them seem to think they are a top-tier program. When in fact, they are just a mid-major, like the rest of us.
A couple even referred to the AAC as full of "garbage programs". Even UCF, who beat them earlier this year.
Werent these guys part of the MWC just a few short years ago?

So far the over on the over/under looks like a good bet.

Ten games winning seasons, UC has seen a few of those.
Hey, good luck Tigers. Start the AAC on the sweep of the bowls.

That "vaunted" Memphis defense is getting carved like swiss cheese.

Shootouts are always a good show for the fans. Memphis has plenty of time to settle their defense down and make a couple of first-half stops.
