Most annoying... anyone who defends their teams cheating. Mostly SMU and Memphis in recent memory. I can stand teams being full of themselves. I can't stand teams being full of themselves because they did things the wrong way.

Unfortunately, the Tigers lost a top five NBA pick and their third best player.

No team in the AAC could fulfill expectations under a similar decimation. In fact, Memphis somehow managed to beat Houston.

Houston was a 30 win team--that finished top 10 the year before, with a top level coach... you were whupset for being named err co-favorites and called it disrespect .. i cant imagine getting upset about being named "co-favorites" with the previous years champ, when we werent that good the year before-- you are still a favorite--even if Vegas said we'd be good...

It was a sign of disrespect and resentment toward Penny because it was out of line with informed predictions - including Vegas. As it turns out, he did a remarkable job given the circumstances. The players really bought into the defensive scheme - a difficult task for a coach with elite recruits.

2016 preseason hype train for football was real lol, I would put us fourth on the all-time conference list of most obnoxious waves of fandom.

1. Penny Madness
2. UCF Natty
3. Wichita Arrival
4. H-Town Takeover
5. Can't think of a good fifth

Every fanbase has their homers and super homers

if we are adding football, ECU when they joined the aac, they were BAD!!! BC1 crowned them them the offseason champions (they were still not horrible then)

smu "we run the aac" in basketball the early aac years was pretty bad.. talked about they were in a league of their own in basketball and would continue to run the league ..nickname it "moody magic"

cincy at the end of the gary clark era was pretty bad.. but it wasnt as bad as the others becuase we all just agreed. cincy fans were making obnoxious comments about being the kings of the aac, this league belongs to them until proven otherwise. the other fanbase just agreed so it wasnt combative as the others

id go-
1. UCF Natty
2. ECU intro
3. Wichita Arrival
4. Penny Madness
5. Moody Magic

LOL.... ranked again!!!

Solid.

You have permission to use my trademarked "Lol Memphis"

You're gonna need it for poking the Peso nest in the off season before Memphis fans get their kryptonite of actual games.

Their overwhelming hype every preseason fades out as they take ass whippings and their fanbase disappears from the conference board like their real life fan who took a dump on their concourse. Their memories selectively work and never quite match NCAA record books.

Both are manifestations of their overall program insecurities and failures while cheating like Louisville but never quite having that level of success. Luckily with a shortened ooc and early conference games this year they'll be gone by early December.

Wow.. man, imagine something so meaningless in life in the grand scheme of things cause this much disdain and bitterness in someone’s life. I love sports (probably too much), but this should be an eye opener of how far we shouldn’t take things where it effects us to this degree. Take a break man. Grab a Snickers or something.

This dude has an extreme case of TDS. He is obviously suffering and we should all approach his illness with understanding and care. I'm going to order some rubber bracelets (blue w/ Tiger stripes) to spread awareness of this debilitating condition. Join me in this fight to end TDS forever and ever.

Sounds like someone needs to file a hurt feelings report.

I'm busy and don't get to the board as often, but just reread this thread, every other page is Memphis pulling the garbage that Pesik and them just talked about. Go back to the previous basketball recruiting threads or previous basketball news threads. Its continuous, when they first hired Penny we had like two Memphis posters over here. Band wagon doesn't describe it, Justin Timberlake, Chris Rock, etc etc. The Wiseman nonsense they still try to play off. They were all offended we didn't respect them Peso's first year. They were offended last year. The NCAA is out to get them, that's why they have to vacate everything. Blah blah blah. Meanwhile as I have pointed out multiple times since the AAC took its present form they have finished at .500 almost every year and are at the bottom with ECU, Tulane, and USF in performance. They literally deserve as much respect as ECU's current football program (sorry pirates) both have been in sharp decline.

It gets old listening to the same **** every year while memphis fans fill threads whinging about how they aren't respected.

That's a terrible take. The worst Memphis teams in this league have won at least 18 games overall and finished at least 8-10 in league play. Yes, Memphis has not lived up to its standards but is light years ahead of Tulane, ECU, and USF in performance since the inception of the league. UCONN and Memphis should have been league anchors on the basketball side and did not pull their weight the last several years but at the very least provided depth to the league and did not destroy our league rpi/sos/net.

Would a, should a, could a.....we went over this earlier, this is why the Memphis hype is annoying, it distorts their issues.

Those three teams (ECU, USF, Tulane) and Memphis have zero NCAA appearences and zero conference championships since Tulsa joined the AAC (2014 or 6 seasons). Memphis is 58-50 in conference play and never finished higher than fifth.

Ranked in order of conference record Cincinnati (84-24) Houston (71-37), Tulsa (67-41), SMU (66-42), and Temple (61-47) have championships and NCAA appearences, UCF (with only 7 fewer conference wins), WSU (in half the time), and UConn (who left) have NCAA bids.

Facts are stubborn things. Kids who are incoming freshmen were in middle school last time Memphis got to the dance and in elementary school the last time Memphis got a conference championship.

Ranked in order of conference record Cincinnati (84-24) Houston (71-37), Tulsa (67-41), SMU (66-42), and Temple (61-47) have championships and NCAA appearences, UCF (with only 7 fewer conference wins), WSU (in half the time), and UConn (who left) have NCAA bids.

Facts are stubborn things. Kids who are incoming freshmen were in middle school last time Memphis got to the dance and in elementary school the last time Memphis got a conference championship.

...and you're still Tulsa.

Where we are enjoying getting ready to defend our championship and hand out another tiger ass kickin

Here another little groupie posted about it. The jealousy against lil ol Tulsa from the Peso cult is genuine and totally expected from such a down program. Enjoy the link.

Full of something...

for how good we've been, its definitely not...
almost every houston debate is other fans saying why houston will be far worse than the national projections,
or why houston player is trash.. and houston fans saying said player isnt trash

name one time houston (in basketball- we are kinda obnoxious in football) - we were claiming we were going to run through the league undefeated or we run the league or whatever (something smu, memphis, wichita, cincy fans have done at different times)..we think we are good, becuase we are...but our recent success on a different team and we both know this board would be completely different

again houston wasnt offended being voted co-favorites with memphis, even said memphis should get it despite being the returning champs...memphis took offense, despite coming off a 5th place finish

We all know why Memphis ended up fifth. We all know we were not the same team that was projected to finish 1st/2nd preseason, once the season got underway (suspension/injuries). How convenient of you to leave out the circumstances that lead to that fifth place finish.

It's like the president getting blamed for the Corona virus and the effects it caused to the global economy. Do you work for CNN?

It was a sign of disrespect and resentment toward Penny because it was out of line with informed predictions - including Vegas. As it turns out, he did a remarkable job given the circumstances. The players really bought into the defensive scheme - a difficult task for a coach with elite recruits.

Yet it turned out to be generous. Maybe it had less to do with Penny and more to do with Sampson. js

You have permission to use my trademarked "Lol Memphis"

You're gonna need it for poking the Peso nest in the off season before Memphis fans get their kryptonite of actual games.

Their overwhelming hype every preseason fades out as they take ass whippings and their fanbase disappears from the conference board like their real life fan who took a dump on their concourse. Their memories selectively work and never quite match NCAA record books.

Both are manifestations of their overall program insecurities and failures while cheating like Louisville but never quite having that level of success. Luckily with a shortened ooc and early conference games this year they'll be gone by early December.

This came out of nowhere

It's called bi-polar. Every once in a while a bell goes off in his frontal lobe.. "attack Memphis".
