Quote:With a postseason trip secured, the University of Memphis football team has moved on to its next quest: winning an American Athletic Conference title.

The Tigers enter Saturday’s AAC home game against South Florida with a 7-3 overall record and a 5-1 league mark. With wins over South Florida (4-6) Saturday and UConn (2-7) next weekend, the U of M will finish no worse than in a tie for the title.

Oh, and there’s that eighth win, too. If the Tigers beat USF, they’ll be an 8-win team for the first time since 2004 and for only the third time since 1973...

The crowd: Tiger officials are pushing hard to encourage a huge gathering at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. Having won four straight, including three on the road, the Tigers are hoping to approach the 46,378 who bought tickets to the Sept. 20 Middle Tennessee State game. Bowl officials like strong fan support. So do potential Power Five conference suitors.

Mid 20,000's as of right now. Moved up from low 20,000's this morning. Weather may be moving in a little sooner than expected so we will see if that has an impact. 10% chance of rain during the day, but 90% starting in the early evening. The heavy stuff wasn't supposed to get here until after midnight. It's coming sooner

Yeah I think it's on the "got beat by auburn" network

Here was my Facebook effort/rant from last night. Hope it gets a few of my friends to come support.

OK Memphis football fans! Not just talking about Memphis Tiger fans, but fans of college football that live in the Memphis area. Saturday afternoon is expected to be beautiful and the local team has done enough to deserve your support. If you are a Tiger fan you better be there. If you are an Ole Miss, Tennessee, Alabama, Miss St, etc fan and you are not traveling to see your team, come on out. It is OK to support your home town team when they are not playing your team! It can do nothing but help our community. Pop out tomorrow and get your ticket in advance and it is only $10! Let's show some pride in our town and our home town team!

I have no interest in watching Hogs tackle Black Bears... but... I never even considered doing that instead ... I guess different strokes ...

The weather channel hourly forecast has only a 5% chance of rain during the game until well after midnight. Only goes to 60% at 4 am on Sunday morning. The weather is going to be fine during the game and quite a few hours after.

Yep, weather.com says partly cloudy with thunderstorms developing after midnight.

Quote per channel 5, "rain will move in after midnight, so those outdoor evening plans should be fine."

Channel 3 says rain developing late Sat night or early Sun morning with heaviest rain from 6am to noon on Sunday.

Well, somewhat in Drew's defense, every single one of those games had 5,000 of the $5 Kroger tickets. (2003-2008 were the Kroger ticket years) And the Louisville game, Fedex had a HUGE ticket give away

I would add to that that that (snicker) Louisville game was a legit 52,000. Those were not just bought tickets, those were all used.

Yea that loserville match was awesome in terms of crowd
