Glad you are happy with the attendance.

Easy to say sitting in a Barcalounger in the Sunshine State.

Again, feeling the absolute void at a game is incredible. Eight straight years of 16k+ attendance to 13k to 11K in two short years.

Talk radio treats Memphis as an afterthought. NO buzz about recruiting. The CA can't get clicks on articles.

Shaq has a career night and the general consensus the next a.m. is still just about if this means Boy Wonder might stick around another year.

11k is still top 50 attendance, right? Not a terrible floor for the new regime to build upon.

Wow...just wow.

UPigg is 10-10...bright side is...um, yeah...there is no bright side to that

Well we can pull one out our ass from time to time.

Who makes it back to the top 25 faster after this season?

Neither if they keep the current coach, but I'd trust Anderson more than Opie Taylor. I'd actually bet on UALR being ranked before we are again.

Perhaps if you actually ever went to a game you would appreciate the dropoff and not make silly posts trying to equivocate a close to 30% drop over the past two years.

Hell, he can see it on TV. He just doesn't want to have to acknowledge it.

Never seen someone so excited for mediocrity.

Maybe you should watch how hard this team is rallying around its coach? The handful of fans that have given up are nothing compared to those who are still backing Josh. Even those fans will be back soon.

Ya, you can tell the pressure is really starting to weigh on him. I am thinking he will jump at any decent offer he is extended, if he is extended one. And before anyone asks why he would walk away from Memphis and take a lower paying job, it could probably be negotiated so that Memphis makes up some difference despite him voluntarily leaving because it would be best for both parties...

Alford left Iowa for New Mexico.
