I've only seen Memphis fans hoping to make the NIT.

there are a few ncaa tourney predictions...there are actually debates in that thread about if they are going to make the nit or ncaa (someone said nit this year and a debate of we are going to do better than that started)

but im guessing you think i made up all those accounts.
nothing i said was outlandish or crazy and pretty much what is being said...all because you dont agree doesnt mean you have to start attacking me ..i even said the "maybe ncaa" wasnt common but a few have said it

next time i wont waste my time searching....if you dont believe me deal with it

I was talking about HERE. HERE, Pesik. This forum. I said "here." What part of that don't you understand?

I have no problem with the NIT being an aspiration for Memphis basketball this year.

I just would like to know which AAC team(s) Memphis is going to jump to finish higher than 9th and how that'll happen.

Exactly. But somebody said it somewhere on the internet, so we should all know that.

One or two or whatever, projected from 5 to 8. Memphis is a complete unknown this season, due to losing all but 2 players. But a lot of folks thought the Lawsons were a factor in us collapsing last year, after starting off 18-7.

We looked pretty good in our exhibition, better than most of us expected.

Even the lead sports columnist in the local paper, not known to be overly optimistic toward Memphis basketball right now, wrote there is no way Memphis finishes 9th.

The fans are in 2 camps. One thinks Tubby has to go now, and the other is more patient. The latter group is the one where fans think we will be better than 9th.

We'll see. Not an accomplishment yet. Just an opinion. Just like yours that we cannot be better than 9th.

Who cares what Memphis fans said about their own team on their own message board? I don't think Memphis fans saying that they hope their team can make the NIT is out of line at all. And besides, fans, especially on their OWN message boards, are expected to be rosier than any outside observers. That's why they're fans.

I'm pretty sure if Houston had basketball fans, there would be some that would be banking on the NCAA's this year.

Hell, they didn't even really say what he claimed. I got curious, went back and read that entire thread he cited.

One person joked about winning the AAC Tourney. He got razzed by several others.

One mentioned we might make a run at either the NCAA OR the NIT.

Several mentioned an NIT bubble, NOT an NCAA bubble.

Nobody said we were a lock for anything.

The great majority were negative about all of it.

A bunch said we would finish better than 9th in the AAC, but I had already mentioned that.

I said I could see Memphis finishing between 5th and 9th. Maybe he just confused fans of different schools...

^^ Same here. I think that's our range. Just hard to really know with almost a whole new team, but last year's was worth blowing up, lol.

I know how you feel. Based on what I've seen/heard from exhibition games, I'd be much more confident as a Memphis fan than a UCONN fan at this point...

if Houston had basketball fans..thats pretty funny

and you missed the entire point of my statement...go to the last page... i said most of the AAC actually thinks this will be a very good year for them and have justification as to why..usf is the only team that probably ffeels this will be a bad year

that if we are as good as we claim 5 bids shouldnt be that difficult
this whole debate is when i listed all the fan expectations for all teams i said for memphis "we are better than 9th, we are NIT caliber 'maybe even' a bubble team"

note i didnt say they were making the NIT, but a NIT quality team..."maybe even" (hinting some optimism by a few) of bubble team ..(which is a fair assesment, IMO)

TripleA for some reason took offense to that and started attacking...not sure why.

also stating WSU has the worst fanbase here...we trash talk here, but whenever there is a reason...WSU fans will jump in places and start trash talking teams it has no reason to. i honestly cant stand you guys.....if you guys flop, me and most people here will non-stop ether wsu (im actually rooting for it now)...

literal quote for your forum from 1 minutes of search in that thread

Quote:My prediction is...

25-6 (if we lose to Alabama then I think it will be 24-7)

I think we lose 6 to 9 games, but as of right now I think 9 is too many.

I have us losing to Louisville, at Cincinnati, at UCF, at Tulsa, at SMU, at UConn

Conference record of 13-5, good for 3rd or 4th place

Win two games in the conference tournament to finish 27-7 or 26-8

that is clearly an NCAA tourney projection

not sure why you are attacking me for saying a few in your fanbase base have optimism ...why your panties are so bunched up i dont know

It's not really fair to include posts from the main Memphis board unless you're gonna go to everyone else's main boards. If you peruse the main UCONN board (the-boneyard), your data doesn't match up with what you've posted about UCONN here. After 2 exhibition games, a good amount of the fan-base over there thinks we'd be lucky to make the NIT...and Ollie is goner.

i was more speaking to the general fanbase not which message board. and i actually used the information from visiting uconn message board, same for smu

and talking the last 5 months.. not just the last week....2 weeks ago, almost every uconn fan would have said they were making the tourney.

and its scrimmages in which 3 of your players havent played regulated basketball in almost 1-2 years ... i wouldnt judge too much on that..your coach and players in interviews after the scrimmage dont think it was a big deal. and development situation
and houston was blownout by a bad lsu to start last season and almost made the tournament...

You are doing it again. Show me exactly in that initial post where you said "a few in your fanbase have optimism."

Here, I will help you out. Your own words:

"...a lot of AAC teams are bragging on how good they are..."

"...9 Memphis - we are a lot better than our 9th projection, we are going to be a NIT caliber, maybe a bubble team..."

So where in there did you say "a few have optimism?" No damn where.

You implied that was the entire fan base. And when I asked where on here did anybody say that, you said it was on the Memphis board, not here.

And when I read the thread you quoted, 2 peeps mentioned the NCAA. One was obviously being sarcastic, and the other is the most optimistic fan on the board (the one above that you cited).

Yet you characterized us as bragging on how good we are, saying we were NIT or NCAA bubble, etc.

Pesik, there are 250+ posts in that thread. The great majority talking about our prospects are NEGATIVE, or at best, apprehensive.

You want to know why I attacked you on this? B/c you pull this crap ALL the time on here. You exaggerate, misquote people, brag, change your story when pinned down, never ever let anything go, etc.

I have had you on ignore forever, but people keep quoting you, and now and then, you say things that are downright wrong about Memphis, and I finally decided to call you on one.

Is the point about the fanbase really important? Hell, no.

But your body of work on here shows that you never learned how to interact with others without constantly irritating most of them.

So, consider this a gift from me to help you improve your social life.
