I am not saying Memphis will not be good this year, but what makes you think they will be better than last year after losing 7 starters on defense and the coordinator? And please do not give me the ECU argument of the back ups were much better than the starters.

We played a lot of players last year, and our depth has gotten better each year. Losing the DC hurt but the new DC has been there longer then Fuente. We could be better and still lose more games as I think the conference is better.

The statement was "any level of success." UCF has won 4 conference championships and a BCS bowl (Fiesta) and Liberty bowl victory finishing ranked #10 and #21. That certainly qualifies as a "level of success." Prior to last season the last modicum of success Memphis had was a couple of minor bowl victories never winning a conference championship not attaining a final ranking and finishing what 7-6 during and just after the D'angelo Williams era which ended in 2005, hence my point "during their lifetimes as fans." Presuming of course that the poster was a relatively young fan. I'm sorry if the truth hurts your bruised ego, but prior to last year's final ranking of #25 and share of the AAC conference championship the simple truth is that many Memphis fans were not even born when they won their last conference championship or attained a final ranking in football. I can't speak for UC, but I can sure as heck believe they've won multiple conference championships and bowl games as well as earning final rankings during the relevant time period. Truth is truth, so it is very "real."

I agree with all of this. HOWEVER, the same UCF fans who want us to know our place used to constantly remind us during basketball season that CUSA was a 'football conference' and that we weren't allowed to talk about basketball.

I left it alone at first in this thread but Memphis fans do currently have some right to do a bit of smack talk; especially against UC due to the beatdown last year.

Yes, Memphis sucked at the end of the Tommy West era and then made one of the worst coaching hires in history with Larry Porter. This is neither of those.

Your place is the reigning co-conference champions, and only AAC team to end last year with a ranking at #25. Memphis has every right to be loud and proud. I just don't think they need to belittle other teams in an effort to elevate themselves. Memphis' accomplishments last year speak for themselves, I believe some of their fans really have no concept of how a champion should conduct themselves only because it is a relatively new phenomenon to Memphis football. Other Memphis fans exemplify nothing but class (here's looking at you Old Tiger and Gray Avenger). As with any fanbase you will always get a combination of class and classless, and yes that applies to my beloved UCF Knights as well.

It was merely stated Memphis will beat Cincy twice at home this year, just a fan's prospective given the beat down last year..."classless", "belittle"??? Read your posts & look in the mirror. Memphis has to go back no further than last season to find it winning or it can look at the last 50 yrs, as Gray Avenger did in another thread to show Memphis has beat more top 20 teams than anyone else in the AAC. I also pointed out that if Cincy, UCF or Memphis had a consistent & lengthy history of winning big, any of those 3 would not be in the AAC. I understand it rubs some wrong that Memphis won the AAC and finished in the top 25 last year but get used to it, it will happen again this year. Or that Memphis holds a 19-13 lifetime win advantage versus Cincy (not so good against UCF but UCF is relatively new to the game). Just fan talk but not classless or belittling, you have that distinction.

Look I tried to play nice without pointing out that you started this pissing match, but now it's clear your nothing but a small dick troll trying to overcompensate for the obvious. Piss off asshat, you wouldn't know how to conduct yourself with class if it hit you in the face. Like so many others, I'm now of the opinion, that I can't wait to see Memphis get their ass handed to them by UC just so I can come back and remind you of this pointless pissing match started by you you little insecure piss-ant. Really looking forward to the next time Memphis plays UCF so you can be our ******* again for the tenth time in a row. Thank God for the ignore list and welcome to it Atlanta.

What a dic%. Your first post was designed to piss Memphis people off.

16 year olds and their computers.

I liked in the article how Myerberg made special mention about Tulsa practicing at the municipal park and how the fact they have to account for tree's and such is making them a better team.

That's some immature **** right there

Lol. "Class"...

you can sense the season is almost here

Its pretty obvious (and sad) that most haven't taken 15-20 mins to read this most in-depth look at AAC Football. Maybe mods can delete all the crap/spam in this thread (seems like they use to do that all the time in the past) and keep the focus in this thread based on the initial post and article.

I still remember when UC best Memphis 4 times in one year in basketball to advanced to the Final 4.....a Final 4 we did NOT have to vacate!!!

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The prospects for each season must be analyzed independently of distant past outcomes.

My last post was way out of line, immature and without class. I would like to apologize to Atlanta and all other Memphis fans and others who have correctly pointed out how truly boorish that post was. I posted out of emotion (anger) and that is never a good idea. In the future I will endeavor to take a breath and reflect before responding to any post. Again my apologies to all.

It doesn't seem too in depth to me. It's a list of teams ranked on departed players, a all-conference team based on last year's stats, and a discussion on AAC coaches.

I know I'm late to the party on this, but impressed with the write-up. This is much more than I've seen anywhere else. Nice job by USA TODAY.

For many, its 5-fold increase of information on other AAC Teams than what they had prior to this article.

Again, many fans actually know very little about their own program/depth chart, etc...and almost nothing about opposing teams...as their knowledge about the opposition is usually "They suck!"
