From Frank Murtaugh's cover story in the Memphis Flyer this week...

http://www.memphisflyer.com/memphis/is-t...id=3729163

With Ole Miss back on the schedule, the SEC is again on the Memphis radar after a two-year hiatus. Dating back to 1997 (the year after the Tigers' upset of Tennessee at the Liberty Bowl), the Tigers are 2-25 against the country's most powerful conference. Whether or not the SEC stays on the schedule remains to be seen. "I'm okay with playing one stretch game," says Fuente. "That's what you'll see from us in the future. My concern is the league; where are we in the league? Can we build our facilities and compete in this league? I have no inferiority complex with the Southeastern Conference. Our job is to be Sprite, not Coke and not Pepsi. To build a program that's competitive in our realm." — FM

Not this again

Not what again, cuz?

Were 2-25 vs the SEC since 1997, but about 10 of those losses were one score losses. With many of them within 3 points. Heck, were a total of 9 points away from owning ole miss this century

The Flyer?

You might consider that many might not read the Flyer regardless if they live in Memphis. I do use it to start the charcoal though.

September 4, 2004 in oxford: Memphis 20 Ole miss 13.

It was the last time the tigers started the season 1-0. Also, it was the last win vs a sec team.

Moral victories ?

I like the SEC games. I just wish that we'd win more of them.

I was almost within one score of getting Claire Danes to party with me when she was shooting that Grisham move. We both have **** to show for it.

Were Tiger fans. We always find silver linings.

Why did they conveniently pick 1997 as the milestone? In the early 90s we beat Ole Miss, Miss State, and Arkansas, some of those multiple victories. I know that doesn't even come close to evening up the W-L, but tell it like it is.

Bc it's the Flyer. The same Flyer that said there was really only 20,000 at the Ut Martin home opener 2 years ago

Too bad.
Lots of good stuff in there.

I don't like the( in our realm) comment. Inferiority complex----ask Spook if we belong and can play with anyone.

I think we have beaten every SEC team we have ever played at least once.
