BTW, if Memphis is good again like you want, the fans will come and the Tigers might lead the AAC in attendance.

It's not your program it seems most poster's have a problem with, it's the arrogance of some fans. Particularly when it is unfounded historically. At the moment at best Penny is a Pastner part two. We know those results.

I have never met a fanbase so secure that winning a fictional paper comparison will equal winning on the court. What is more amazing is the number of examples of this not being true, some of which were recently witnessed by that same fan base. But still it continues....

What in the world are you talking about? Name one Memphis fan on this board who is "arrogant" and proclaims some unreasonable amount of wins before we play a game.

Most Memphis fans I see are trying to reasonably discuss things, as opposed to a few other AAC fans who just want to piss and moan and stir crap.

And what the hell is unfounded historically? We have been nationally ranked for the great majority of the time since the mid-'50s. In 2009, we were named the #14 program of all time, and more recently, #19.

As pointed out Pastner already did this song and dance for you all. It resulted in nothing. The Cal magic faded and you had a pumpkin your fairy god mother Georgia Tech made a carriage out of.

Now Memphis is back, because Penny has done what? Signed classes as good as Pastner's? Has more coaching experience than Pastner had? Won more games that Pastner? Nothing, and No, No, No.

But hey, Memphis is starting a bunch of Penny threads because they're a humble fan base.

Hell UConn has more, is doing as well, got a better coach, has historically been a better program, and fell farther faster. Notice the difference in fan bases and the reason for the difference in board response is pretty clear.

Hmmm,,,, let's see. A new poster with only 19 posts pops up out of nowhere, not claiming any school or location whom only posts negative threads against Memphis fans and seems to really be personally offended bysaid fans whom really don't know or give a stink pile about you or your opinion. I smell a big ole troll posing under a new alias.

It's a wonder how that guy hasn't gotten the ban hammer
I've seen people get banned for less. He offers no substance. Just attack attack. I think it's funny his obsession with our program. We have discussions about our school and he pops in spewing hate. Now he creates aliases. Lol it's sad really.

You're just dogging Memphis because you know that from now on Wichita will play second fiddle to the Tigers, just like you were with Creighton.

Unhinged? LOL. Trolls gonna troll. I'm 71 years old. I don't get unhinged about message board idiots.

I just wish one time we could have an adult conversation about subjects, rather than some juvenile pissing match.

The fact of the matter is Penny is going to be able to get the recruits but seeing how well he can coach is another thing blah blah. He's been developing these same players he has about to get in college and he did pretty dang well developing them during high school. This staff will be able to make these players improve. Hell, Pastner couldn't coach and he could get Tiger teams to the NCAA tournament. If Penny has a lick of coaching ability in him which I believe he does, then Memphis will be a-okay. And all this will do is make the American look better.

So Memphis will win the conference tourney then never make it out of the first weekend of the NCAA Tourney while Wichita makes Final Four and Sweet 16 runs? I'm ok with that.

Well as soon as you (and most Memphis posters) accept the fact that not everyone has to think that Penny is guaranteed to be a success, then we can have that conversation.

I doubt there were many Cronin's, Marshall's, Sampson's, Hurley's etc on the opposing benches of those HS games ...

Though i do agree with your last statement ... IF he has coaching ability, it will make the American look better. That's a big IF at this point. Also even if Memphis gets better, it doesn't mean that Cincy, Wichita, Houston, SMU all magically start bowing down to them.

Since when has Wichita constantly made it to the Sweet 16 and Final Four? Recruiting wise, you guys may have been one spot behind us in the conference but nationally Memphis was 29th and Wichita was 61st. Even in 2018 you'd be crazy not to say Penny's recruiting did not immensely help the AAC.

The anodyne references made about the Tigers in this thread are appreciated.

Two sweet 16s and a final four in the last 10 ish years. That's not bad.

Your choice of comparing yourself to Creighton was just funny. They have literally never won two games in a row in the NCAA tourney in their entire history

WSU got a lot of attention last year being a new school to the conference and having a highly ranked team in the preseason. Seems as though they’re having a hard time dealing with the idea of someone else getting attention.
