Mmmmm, facts. I can already hear, but who did you play? First off our conference and..
Wins over: Ga Tech, Maryland (x2), Missouri, Syracuse, Vandy x2.....and here's the big one..MEMPHIS (x5)....
But yall are enjoying a nice season right now, just dont act like our VERY recent history isnt 5-2 MT over UM. Only reason I'm here.
UM 4 ranked wins in the last 3 years > MT 0 ranked wins ever
UM 10 bowl games > MT 7
UM 4 bowl wins > MT 2
UM 3 All Americans > MT 0
UM 112 NFL draft picks > MT 29
UM 4 First round > MT 0
UM 15 weeks ranked > MT 0
And what you should really consider while reading these stats is MT has had a superior football program for years.. us surpassing you is recent.. and we still have tons of stats over you guys already..
Just give us 5-10 more years with this momentum..
Mmmmm, facts.

All that and we still own you.
You own nothing. As a matter of fact, we apparently are living rent-free in your head. We are not on your schedule, yet you are over here yapping like a little 7 year old wanting some attention from the grownup table.

RE: Memphis best team in Tennessee?
MTSU owned us when we were perhaps the worst team in FBS. Hell, everybody owned us, lol. Nothing to brag about.
They haven't played us the past 4 years, which would have been a much different story. Like Ole Miss, UCLA, etc.

Why argue with some of these MT fans. They're a insignificant nobody, in a insignificant dead end conference that no one cares about, so who cares what they think, just let em have their fun, who cares.

Just make sure your equipment guys are ready to add visors mid-game...give the blue raiders like ONE bowl national exposure game and they'll go full Blunt on you.

We hold a 17 - 9 advantage all time over you guys. The wins over you guys go back further than the last series.

MTSU was one of two FBS teams that lost to a Larry Porter coached team.

Why did they go with "Middle" in their name? "Central" seems a bit more academic.
It's like University of Middle Florida. Yikes...

I think it's been explained that in Tennessee, the central part of the state is referred to as Middle Tennessee.
I wonder how many states the AAC would carry in basketball. My guess is only Connecticut. How good are Ohio State and Xavier supposed to be this year?
This is gonna take up the rest of my night.

When the normal schools were founded in the early 1900s to train teachers there were 3 in Tennessee, one in each grand division. Memphis began as west tennesse state normal, middle and east Tennessee similarly. Only Memphis dropped the regional name when it became Memphis State College way back when

Maybe they should change their name to Murfreesboro State College.

EASILY
Memphis should be in the top 25 right now but instead the shills at ESPN and other media anointed Texas for it's 10th almost losing season in a row.
