yes you are imagining that. Go Tigers Go is an original composition by former MSOS director Dr Thomas Ferguson.
V. Lane came up with some lame knock off version of an aussie drinking song with some tacked on lyrics called "tigerland" that the band had to play during games. it quickly died when he left the job.
Ferguson composed U of M fight song

See the LSU/Miles fiasco. The media and other fanbases don't give a $hit about Memphis basketball. They will point and laugh at Josh for his incompetency and chastise Tiger fans for wanting away from the madness in the same breath. Fuk em all.

Yup... They mentioned how Memphis should sue Hofstra for $10.6M. They did spend 5-10 min on it. I'm sure they'll have a podcast up.
And it is all your fault...

Hey, the $10.6M is my line. So the guy argues with me on here about stuff, then uses my material on air.

Led Zepplin was heavily sued for a songwriting credit as Jimmy Page 'borrowed' the tune for "Stairway to Heaven" from a band called Spirit (from the song "Taurus")...and the songwriter Randy California. (The music in question starts at about the 45 second mark.To be honest....I don't think that one was all that blatant.
Men at Work were sued for "Land Down Under", as the flute interlude of the song rips off a popular Australian children's tune "Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree".
George Harrison was sued for "My Sweet Lord" and its eerily similarity to the tune "He's So Fine".
If Memphis wanted to do so...they could get a lot of money out of this.
Weren't those suits were for royalties from sales of the music in question. Is Hofstra selling large quantities of this song and/or video? I doubt it.
Thing is, IP law basically requires someone like the University (in this example) to sue Hofstra, even if there wasn't any real tangible gain by the latter, to secure and maintain the University's right to such property (GTG). Otherwise, it could become so diluted that anybody could be free to use it without the University's consent.

I think those two have turned their back on our coach when he needs them the most. Hopefully they can rekindle their relationship and spread some positivity again.

"... let’s focus on the substance of Welsh’s remarks. Are Memphis fans and writers who question Pastner’s job security delusional? No. Of course not. They know that Pastner has now lost nine straight to ranked teams, that he is 5-25 against ranked teams over the course of his career. They know he has never gotten to the second weekend of the tournament, that he has lost 10 home games in the last 14 months, that attendance at FedExForum is down by a third, that recruiting is in the tank. Indeed, the only people who don’t question Pastner’s job security are those, like Welsh, who have no idea what is going on in Memphis, and who find it easier to suck up to their fellow coaches than to have an honest discussion of the complex issues involved."
