As much as I love college athletics, the passion of representing the school, and the passion of the team will start to dwindle over the next few years. That's the toughest part of the whoe new NIL and automatic transfers to me.
In addition, the people in Nashville would much rather drive 3 hours east to Knoxville and spend a weekend in the mountains, than drive 3 hours west to Memphis.
I agreed with what you're thinking, I just it's a tough thing to accomplish. Simply because the opportunities to watch Memphis Tigers athletics just doesn't compare to the SEC schools. Being in the American, obviously, doesn't help.

It’s a short three hour drive to either, and a weekend in Memphis is nothing to sneeze at. Millions do it every year. But I’ve never once followed a sports team based on local tourist attractions.

I've made trips to NOLA for football and basketball games. Been to Baton Rouge for a basketball game as well. The last football game I attended was in Mobile against So. Ala. after a week at the beach.

Exactly the opposite actually. Being the top AAC team overall for the last years has meant that we have had more than our share of weeknight games and the best opportunities. Not being relegated to FS1 or FS2 has given us a big advantage over many Big 12 teams. We get many opportunities to play on ABC/ESPN/ESPN2 that Vandy, Arkansas, MSU, Kentucky, and Ole Piss never get.


not to mention the American has gotten how many of the NY6 bowls in a row now?
How many G5s have gotten to the playoffs?

Nobody cares about bowls anymore

You are good with numbers, socialism, inclusiveness. You want the #80 team with 5 losses to host a playoff game with the #2 team out because they lost a game. An 80,000 seat stadium that everyone else will pay for, because you are entitled to see every game for $5.

Socialist math at its finest.

It helped us win more games than any other AAC team over the last 7 years, and we made the AACCG more than any other team. 04-drinky

You tell me where you think we are . . . again. Only ask because I want to know just how negative you can get about the team. You do realize this is supposed to be a message board for Tiger fans, don't you?

Still AAC is where we are --because we were not #2 on everybodys list only behind Cincinnati----but I was responding to STAMMERS -but to you I say ----------TIGER fans don't have to be delusional -or suspend reality of thought or disbelief ----TIGER fans don'have to be HAPPY CLAPPERS--they can also be REALIST-------you may not believe/know it but dissent is sometimes a good thing

Do we need to play MTSU in order to sign players from only 200 miles away? There are more players in TX, LA, & GA than in middle TN… if you need to play cupcakes to recruit, then keep playing ULM & Georgia State. MTSU is literally a no-win/no-interest game.

UofT@K certainly doesn't feel they need to play us in order to sign Memphis players.
This is just the worst...

I always never emotionally attached to Jalen Duren because I always knew he would be a Tiger for 6-8 months. In addition, if a player for the football team performs well, then they're likely to transfer to another college.
As much as I love college athletics, the passion of representing the school, and the passion of the team will start to dwindle over the next few years. That's the toughest part of the whoe new NIL and automatic transfers to me.
In addition, the people in Nashville would much rather drive 3 hours east to Knoxville and spend a weekend in the mountains, than drive 3 hours west to Memphis.
I agreed with what you're thinking, I just it's a tough thing to accomplish. Simply because the opportunities to watch Memphis Tigers athletics just doesn't compare to the SEC schools. Being in the American, obviously, doesn't help.

Exactly the opposite actually. Being the top AAC team overall for the last years has meant that we have had more than our share of weeknight games and the best opportunities. Not being relegated to FS1 or FS2 has given us a big advantage over many Big 12 teams. We get many opportunities to play on ABC/ESPN/ESPN2 that Vandy, Arkansas, MSU, Kentucky, and Ole Piss never get.

04-drinky 01-wingedeagle 03-lmfao Yeah really helped us when we were NOT #2 on everybodys list

You are good with numbers, socialism, inclusiveness. You want the #80 team with 5 losses to host a playoff game with the #2 team out because they lost a game. An 80,000 seat stadium that everyone else will pay for, because you are entitled to see every game for $5.

Socialist math at its finest.

It helped us win more games than any other AAC team over the last 7 years, and we made the AACCG more than any other team. 04-drinky

.....and where are we again 01-wingedeagle 01-lauramac2 04-drinky

Person A
IQ of 135, not quite a genius

Person B
IQ of 60

Conclusion:
Where they are is that Person B thinks they are the same as Person A, because neither is a genius. Person B doesn't realize he has an IQ of 60 (why would he?).

This is just for illustrative purposes. I am not referring to anyone in particular.

Person A--GoDownSwinging ls/was person A

Person B --is/was you --however you need to get retested --based on your predictions and track record --your stated IQ of 60 seems low--you are surely/truly a MENSA MAN --no doubt about it

You don't know how to link an article or copy and paste, which is something children learn how to do when they are 6 years old. You think I need to be retested?

Again, not referring to anyone in particular, but you seem to have the self awareness to immediately identify as the target *******, low IQ, negative, miserable, liberal, socialist, etc.

Our REAL fans want the coach fired when he is 14-9, and 8-3 his first season which included losing Gainwell, Coxie and having a full month without a game or a regular practice, beat UCF, beat Navy on the road and won a bowl game. Year two, our offensive line was decimated.

Thank God we have geniuses keeping it real for the rest of us.

Yeah its always better to just PRETEND that we really had Gainwell-Coxie- it's always just better to PRETEND we were the only team that covid attacked--it's always better to just PRETEND that we were the only team to beat powerhouses like UCF/Navy---its always just better to PRETEND we were the only team to win a meaningless/practice/exhibition game--its always just better to just PRETEND we were the only team that had injuries ---------------WOW this PRETENDING stuff is really really fun --I see why you live your life doing it on a daily basis
