Not to pick on you.
I've certainly heard the media repeat the "first championship in 50 years" line. Over. And over. And over.

But it's very misleading. First, we did win a conference championship in 2014. It might not have been "outright" because there was no CCG at the time. But we owned the tiebreaker, and we go the #1 bowl slot. And I have a t-shirt and a conference champion ring to make it official.

Secondly, we haven't been in a conference for 50 years. Many of those years were spent independent (about half IIRC).

So to make it sound like we've had 50 years of futility is misleading.

Sorry, but that has become an issue over the weekend. Now as for Norvell's Memphian status. I don't think anyone here is qualified to bestow Memphian status. He certainly lived like it while he was here. We'll see how he does over time there. If he never comes back except to recruit, then nah. But right now, I'm giving him a few benefits of doubt.
