However, Austin came back in the end to finish up a Tiger. For this, many will forgive him - whether he needs our forgiveness or not. He gave a good interview on 92.9 and really heaped thanks on to Dr. Rudd.
No-- WHO ended his playing career as a Wahoo---that's all that matters. I guess if Tony Harris/ Thad Young/Richard Madison/Todd Day/Larry Bird/Jordan/ etc etc had got degrees at MEMPHIS STATE that they would be TIGERS--not in my book.

All these years of loyal fandom because I thought my degree from Memphis State made me a Tiger. Dang. I feel empty.

Listen up, your WHOness.
The Memphis Tigers are family by choice. You don’t get to kick out Who you want. We are a community of folks from all over the globe who come together in harmony (and dissonance) to support Memphis—our Tigers our Grizzlies our Music our bbq our whatever
Austin is a Memphis Tiger. Period, Congrats again to the graduate!

If a player transfers from MEMPHIS to another UNIVERSITY/or never played period for the TIGERS ----they are NOT TIGERS----jmo----it doesn't matter to me if latter on they graduate from MEMPHIS.
Is your EX-wife still your wife? Is your EX-daughter-in-law still your daughter-in-law ? Is your EX-boss still your boss ? Is an EX-cop still a cop ?
If you transfer from MEMPHIS to another school then you are an EX-tiger. As big Jack used to say ---"if you are not a TIGER then you are prey"
Obviously ---your degree from MEMPHIS STATE does make you a TIGER----unless YOU were an athlete and asked for a transfer and transferred and played for an enemy camp. All is just my opinion---and we all know what that gets me.
