Fischer is the play by play guy for the Grizzlies I think. Not putting much stock into this but wouldn't be surprised.

Correction he is a sideline reporter.

we posted this at exactly the same time.

My bad. I've been doing nothing but being on twitter all day and I just came across his tweet.

..ouch. after all of this media about Josh not wanting to renew the game, then the game is in talks of being renewed. ... punch to Pastner by Bowen if true. ...although I am all for Bowen's decision to play Ole Miss on the Grid Iron, as well as UT on the hardwood. Hopefully if they are talking they are ensuring a football agreement (including the game they pushed back) are all in play.

that's just it...

just like with Mississippi, as long as there is a football deal that comes a long with it...it's worth it...no matter what Josh may want...he knows it...we know it.

now without a football deal...screw it.

I'm bored at work and have been on twitter alot today too

Agree.

Don't be shocked if the the Big East-SEC challenge (if it continues) gets an Arkansas game on the schedule.

Agree.

Let me second that. TN needs to understand that we're not their lil football b!tch. Otherwise I hope they just go ahead and buy out the remaining game they've now delayed to 2017. And the SEC's Arkansas can buy out the home game they owe us, but they won't.

Seems that is the case. Also seems as though Bowen wants a regional non-conference schedule for hoops.

Josh needs to focus on beating UT tomorrow.

Bowen's chief concern as AD at Memphis certainly appears to be focused on building a football program. No surprises really.

The days of the men's basketball coach telling the AD what to do ended when Calipari left.
