Go back to the previous basketball recruiting threads or previous basketball news threads. Its continuous, when they first hired Penny we had like two Memphis posters over here. Band wagon doesn't describe it, Justin Timberlake, Chris Rock, etc etc. The Wiseman nonsense they still try to play off. They were all offended we didn't respect them Peso's first year. They were offended last year. The NCAA is out to get them, that's why they have to vacate everything. Blah blah blah. Meanwhile as I have pointed out multiple times since the AAC took its present form they have finished at .500 almost every year and are at the bottom with ECU, Tulane, and USF in performance. They literally deserve as much respect as ECU's current football program (sorry pirates) both have been in sharp decline.
It gets old listening to the same **** every year while memphis fans fill threads whinging about how they aren't respected.
Tiger/Peso groupies like Yankee, 1983, Crowley, etc response incoming...
That's a terrible take. The worst Memphis teams in this league have won at least 18 games overall and finished at least 8-10 in league play. Yes, Memphis has not lived up to its standards but is light years ahead of Tulane, ECU, and USF in performance since the inception of the league. UCONN and Memphis should have been league anchors on the basketball side and did not pull their weight the last several years but at the very least provided depth to the league and did not destroy our league rpi/sos/net.
Would a, should a, could a.....we went over this earlier, this is why the Memphis hype is annoying, it distorts their issues.
Those three teams (ECU, USF, Tulane) and Memphis have zero NCAA appearences and zero conference championships since Tulsa joined the AAC (2014 or 6 seasons). Memphis is 58-50 in conference play and never finished higher than fifth.
Ranked in order of conference record Cincinnati (84-24) Houston (71-37), Tulsa (67-41), SMU (66-42), and Temple (61-47) have championships and NCAA appearences, UCF (with only 7 fewer conference wins), WSU (in half the time), and UConn (who left) have NCAA bids.
Facts are stubborn things. Kids who are incoming freshmen were in middle school last time Memphis got to the dance and in elementary school the last time Memphis got a conference championship.
AFacts are stubborn things. A smart speaker/writer who knows statistics can make them say just about anything they want and still say something truthful.
BYour last statement is pretty funny talking about the mindsets of incoming freshmen...............since Memphis has the #3 ranked group in the nation of them coming in. Why is that true if Memphis has been such an awful program? Could it be the winning tradition that precedes 2014? Could it be the allure of Penny? Could it be that they play in front of 18,000 crazed fans (when we are not in a pandemic)?
CI also love it when people pick a particular year to state their statistics from. Since the end of 2019, I have purchased a new car every year..........

You all are so bad at this:
A] Yes, I've noticed this habit with Memphis fans and vacated records. That's why an accurate whole picture is required. That way its apples to apples. Kind of like how comparing two teams from the time they started sharing a conference by conference record to accurately depict trends. Or observing a program that has had at least one NCAA major infraction every decade since the 1970s and theorizing they might be breaking the rules again.
B] Could it be that Penny has already been caught violating NCAA rules on recruiting? Could that be the reason for the mysterious departure of one of his lauded assitant coaches and recruiters? Could it be the NCAA will again be sanctioning the school soon for these sort of things while a delusional fanbase talks about who will perform at midnight madness while beating their chests about 5th and 6th place conference finishes? Could it?
C] Reference to answer A. Your stat would matter if we both bought new cars in 2019 and you did again in 2020; don't worry I know Tiger fans have a passion for living in past years, its ok, we'll just keep going, and I didn't. However since we were both in the same conference starting in 2014 and I was comparing our conference performance, well you just kind of look dumb and not because you forgot what year is almost over.
Man,,,,,,,, your shtick is is really getting old,tired,and redundant. I understand that you are obsessed with the Memphis program and you feel that arguing that your team is as good or even better makes you feel better, but geez can you move forward and talk about what is good and positive about your team and inform as to why Tulsa is a good conference mate because I can't for the life me think of anything.
