I don’t come here often...every few days maybe, but I’ve got to start visiting more! There’s more posts about Memphis here than on both of our other boards combined.

We have some obsessed posters here in AAC board land and I love it! It feels great to be hated again! If you think you hate us, you should’ve seen the CUSA board back in the day...that was real hate! This is mild annoyance but we are building back. Be patient.

Ps. It’s gonna get worse next year

Suggestion: rename this board “Memphis AAC Conference Talk”. I love his place

Listen, I get it's hard for you to take.

Official numbers, i.e. the ones everyone is using, are UCF by a landslide. Around 10% better just to be clear.

It's just a fact. People cared more in Orlando.




Don't worry by the time we roll into Ft. Worth next year the Memphis fanbase will be spreading the myth that the scanners broke and there were really 14k at every session. Then guilelessly ask can they even have that many people at Dickies? Your fanbase will come in here and want the tourney taken back to FedEx, how it will be different because its Penny's guys and so many more people will show up. How JT and Drake will do live performances between sessions and lil Penny will present the trophy. Besides next year is their last before jumping to the big xii.

None of it will be true, but the commercial appeal and a radio station will have the AD and President on. They won't comment on those rumours though, they'll just smile and point at their face. Memphis fans will take it as a sign and force their children out of school to enter into child labor camps and pay for those tickets and the days their parents will miss from work to attended the openning round.

2021 will come around the tourney will still be in DFW and the Memphis faithful will whine about how we could get more bids if we would just let them host the tourney. Rinse and repeat for 2022.

Looking forward to it.

Yeah me too, hopefully the Tigers can keep up with all the tulsa buzz.

I do agree Memphis s*** the bed with attendance, don't know what happened, just don't think it's right to judge an entire city and fanbase by posters on this board. I hope some visitors had a great time and I'm sure ft worth will be a blast.

I don't agree...since the AAC tourney was last in Memphis

2015 Hartford 45,480
2016 Orlando 38,871
2017 Hartford 29,056
2018 Orlando 50,279
2019 Memphis 45,530

Memphis beat both Hartford AAC tourneys and topped the first Orlando tourney by a good bit.

I would say Memphis has proven to be a good spot for the AAC.

Do it by session average and no you didn't, but good twist. Hartford had less games both times.

Orlando did the first time too.

Maybe if a Tulsa fan or two showed up we could have had better numbers.

You seriously are THE definition of deflection. Anybody that brings up something legitimate about Memphis that doesn't rub your tummy the right way and can't defend, you immediately change the subject.

It's a major weakness in your posts here and is a sign of defeat.

Lol

I don’t have to defend anything to you 2 clowns. You are fans of Wichita & Tulsa - 2 schools way below us in the world of college hoops. Like I pointed out weeks ago- we have more ncaa tournament wins than TU & WSU combined. We have the biggest & the best arena in the AAC, we outdraw both of your schools. We swept yours, split with the other clown’s team with our rookie head coach. Memphis outrecruits both of your schools by a mile and will continue to kick both of your team’s ass for the foreseeable future.

Both of you morons are the ones who had to change the subject to attendance to get your shots in at the Tigers because your little “coach ‘em up” narrative got pissed all over by PH.

You and MemTigers1998 are not good looks for the fanbase. The IQ demonstrated is not a good look. Just sayin'.

But to the deflected point, I'm not sure a Memphis fan should be talking about screwing pooches compared to a WSU fan given recent NCAA histories.

Waiting for the next deflected point where Memphis fan brings back something from the 70's or how their NIT appearance is better than ours.

This is such a typical Memphis fan post. LOL.

Look at all of these threads about Memphis we're so great.

All of these threads are started by Memphis fans.


We're so great, that's why everybody hates us.

Ignores that people are just pointing out facts.

I'm not agreeing with the all the tiger posters on here, but history is history, recent history or the last 40yrs. We live in a what have you done lately world anyway. The future is extremely bright for both programs and we should all be happy. Like it or not I believe the AACCT will be back in Memphis one day and we will have another chance at the ever so important attendance numbers that some on this board so deeply covet.

You don't get to count Louisville, boo hoo.
You add an extra session to the previous tournaments by average to see how they would have done for raw numbers with it and it makes Memphis look even worse.

54,000+ for Hartford 2015.
45,500 for Orlando 2016
34,000 for Hartford 2017
50,000 for Orlando 2018
45,500 for Memphis 2019

So Orlando was your equal or better. Hartford put you to shame before Ollie dropped them. Louisville isn't ever playing in the tournament again.

In raw numbers Memphis is the last place we should put it again. You performed worst in total crowds, avg, and in games over 8k.

This is all so funny. The guy from the school w/ the 2nd worst attendance in the league (thanks Tulane!) going on and on about the attendance at the conf tourney....... all because he took numerous shots at Memphis for booting his hero Tubby and told us how awful we'd be w/ Penny.

That didn't work out like he thought it would. Oh, and guess what moron -- its only going to get better for Memphis and worse for you.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is known as deflection.


We have a 7 page thread of Memphis posters trying to make their attendance at the tournament look good. After years of talking trash, turns out Orlando supports basketball better.

Lol Memphis.


Close thread.

I agree with two things that I've seen in this thread and I'll add an observation. The first is "move the schools closer together." That's not gonna happen. The above I agree with as well. Simply, there's more to offer families who could be dragged along to the tournament when it's in Orlando.

Memphis however, is pretty much the geographic center of this conference. I know first hand it's an 18 hour drive from Hartford (and that Virginia stretch down I-81 is incredibly boring).

I've been to the Big East tournament in Madison Square Garden and cheered for the Huskies. There's nothing like it, period. I do plan at some point to get to Ft. Worth to see this tournament. Just my $.02

We will never have a tournament that is centrally located like that, with what 10 schools that were easy drives?

However, there are four schools closer to ft worth and can be day trips, than any school but Memphis is to Memphis. Two more are reasonable drives and weekend trips.

Considering the ease of travel to the metroplex from the east schools it seems to be the location most likely to produce a similar atmosphere to good neutral tournaments in other conferences.

those are the numbers...Memphis 2014/Orlando 2018/Memphis 2019

those are the top attended AAC hoops tourneys so Memphis has 2 of the top 3

Lol...you know you make it obvious when you do things like this.

do things like copy and paste from the AAC website? Okay....but the numbers stand.
