Starting to lose faith it will ever happen here. Their #4 ranked hoops team wins right before their #21 ranked football team embarrasses an SEC power in a BCS bowl game, hats off to them!!!
we are in the same ball park, just a few years behind in football and until very recently we were way ahead of them in basketball.
Pick up yourself dude! You are a Tiger !
Like it or not, the Memphis program is not in the same ball park as Louisville. Especially football.
They lapped us in football years and years ago. When they made one good football coach hire after another, brought in Tom Jurich and then built Papa John's they took off like a rocket ship. Meanwhile, we hired Rip, Tommy and Larry P., kept R.C. for 16 years and put no money into facilities. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure this stuff out.

That over rated conference is projected to win its 7th consecutive title, and those are just the facts.
We can call Florida over rated, or louisville under rated...
But the fact remains, the sec goes to title games and comes home with the trophy.

It certainly used to be and there is no reason that it can't be again, if ENOUGH people want it ENOUGH to act upon it. TCU did more with less than we have. Fuente and Bowen knew that and it is the very reason they applied for their jobs here.

Problem with your position is, the fans have to know about it before they can donate.
I will grant you, fans should be donating anyway, but we have to get past the former situation. Lest we forget, just a few short years ago, RC refused to put Football donations toward Football.
we have $99 season tickets for Christ sake.
$50 this past year.
