Dana Altman is as good a coach there is in college ball... yet he’s not good enough, so the traveling Lawson circus is looking for a new town to call home.

Man,,, I love the Lawsons and I PRAY THAT WE GET THEM. They are a great family that loves Memphis more than a lot of the SOBS' that have to hate on everything. By the way why was it so easy for those same SOBS' to forgive that 6"10" quitter that ran off to Virginia or that turncoat that ran of to Tennessee and then trashed Memphis every chance he got but the Lawsons are the scurge? HMMM I wonder what was the difference,,,,,I think I know and so do you. The Lawsons are Memphis and will always be unlike a bunch of the aswholes here. Keelon Lawson is a great father that has raised some great children that also love Memphis and this isn't even counting all of the young people that he has mentored and helped. I
just wish some of you internet warriors would pray that you could have accomplished have of what they have in the community . So effing sad.

lol

If by Virginia, you mean Nichols, then I don't think anyone has cut him any slack. See the continuing posts about his personal struggles with drugs and girlfriends.

I have no clue who the UTK turncoat is, so that is telling of itself. The only mildly recent transfer is A-Barton, and it was a ho-hum thing because he was buried on the bench. But I'm thinking you're playing the race card, so it must not be Barton you're talking about. In fact, Barton is the opposite of your argument. He was a black kid who transferred to the arch-enemy and there was hardly any uproar about it.

As for the Lawsons, their departure was different from anything we've ever seen. There was coaching staff implications. There were constant radio interviews. And most relevantly, there was the list of items in post #71. Keelon has put the family out there, so he has to be comfortable with the chatter that comes along. Heck, at one time, Keelon dreamed of a reality tv show like the Kardashians.

Hate to disappoint you, but race has nothing to do with this. (And if you were not playing the race card, I apologize. Then you need to be more clear in your point.)

Dane Bradshaw. What a great spokesman he turned out to be for Memphis,,,,,NOT!!! Thanks for proving my point. I never put Nichols down because damit he was once one of ours and he was young but for some reason the Lawson boys can't catch a break even though they did something dumb at basically the same age, yet there they are now with college degrees in hand , making great livings and representing Memphis well on the world's stage and may Nichols represent Memphis as well as they have. Hmm I wonder what the difference between them happens to be. By the way eff Dane Bradshaw amirite??

What in the hell are you even talking about. Dane Bradshaw never played for us. We all cheered when Joey elbowed his ass in the face. Almost everyone slammed the **** out of Nichols for his situation and his troubles afterwards.

Difference is he didn’t have a mini Lavar Ball for a dad that was constantly stirring the pot. He also didn’t have younger brothers that you could say you didn’t want because of the experience with the previous circus. Nothing to do with white or black. Gtfo of here with that race bs you are trying to spew out of thin air.
And like the other poster said. Antonio Barton actually played here and then transferred to Tennessee and no one was all over his ass about it. You sound like momma lawson
