Dr. Rudd told me the same at lunch one day.

It changed. He was told by the Oklahoma President

LOL----and 5 years ago you were told the same thing by others ----Rudd must be one naive dude. .I think you need better sources.. I see you're still putting personal conversations on the web for the world to see---if it happened at all--which I doubt

LOL Riiight --Suurre---it doesn't bother you one bit being that word that you can't say LOL

I'd love to have an OCS, but I just don't see it ever happening. The city will make it impossible to do. They don't want LBMS sitting vacant. Reading between the lines (Rudd's public support for new OCS, USF looking to build, Boise expanding) and you can see what the b12 told the ones who didn't make the cut. With that being the case and the city of Memphis's ability to F up everything they touch, I am really starting to believe what minuscule chance we had at a b12 invite is gone. People can post all day long on here that "Rudd told me this" and the "bigwigs phoned me in Canada and told me that". The bottom line is the big 12 has now had 2 chances to invite Memphis and didn't. Our football program may in fact be dead in the water. This has gone from a pretty good 6th best to complete trash league. Even in an expanded playoff, the MWC is gonna be better and tha'ts not even considering what Coastal and App do or may continue to do in the SBC. I'll keep partying on Tiger Lane and going to the games no matter what, but this football program may be facing a huge uphill battle with a coach who may or may not be up to the task.

We had a really good summer going in Tiger sports and it went over the cliff pretty quick in the last 5 weeks. Now, lets just hope we don't get hammered too bad by the IARP and Tiger basketball doesn't face another setback. This team is gonna be extremely talented and could make a deep tournament run.

I see nothing wrong with this 47,000 seater they just opened in Birmingham for $175 million. The Liberty Bowl may need over $100 mil of renovation to get up to snuff. Then what would we have? We’d still be handing over the keys to the landlord after every game before packing up our gear and hitching a ride back to campus. That’s big time football right there. Great college game day atmosphere. I’m not sure why so few other have caught on.

UAB does NOT own that stadium

I didn’t say anything about UAB. It’s an example a stadium recently built for $175.

My point was our fans complain about a $60 ticket yet want the U of M and the City to spend millions. Whether it’s 300 or 175 the point remains the same.

If the tickets were in high demand due to a packed stadium and electric atmosphere, I think they’d have considerable more value. You don’t get that with 20,000 empty seats.

You are losing it faster than ever.

- 80,000 seat OCS so you don't have to pay a dollar more for seats, and we don't run off you and a couple of other communists
- Ford 50 miles away from Memphis is racist
- Ford spending $5.7 billion 50 miles away from Memphis, won't help Memphis

Banned, but still hasn't learned his lesson. Now this...

Tickets were available on-demand. The entire town of Covington, TN could have shown up at the last second and everyone gets a ticket. I’m talking about in-demand as in hard-to-find. Buy early or get left out. Packed house and the place you otter be. One gets more buzz than the other.

I'm sure the financial details of the Simmons deal will eventually be made public, but I cannot imagine it is anywhere in the neighborhood of $40 Million.

Those prices have been that for many many years.

Yeah, I figured it would be comparable to the Birmingham $1M per year. But I heard someone who should know throw out $40M for 10 year.

Goofball Strickland did say on the radio with the Simmons guy on the radio as well, that they agreed to 2x any other offer.

If I was betting, I would take the $1M to $2M per year range.
