But yeah, let's discuss how much of the funds should go to minor league soccer.
I'm a huge soccer fan and I think 901FC should be 4th on the list right now for a new stadium.... I hope they dont leave town but if they do it will not be a big deal, losing the Grizzlies or not doing the LB so the Tigers have no chance at a Power conference is a lot worse than watching 901FC leave (I hope they don't leave but you gotta be real ... )
Maybe Stammers will finally be right and the Tigers will be 2nd on this list for facility improvements behind the Grizzlies
All that's left of the push back is you 3 clowns. Too dumb to get it through your thick skulls that saying that Rudd and the admin were told that we were in, was factual.
Just you three clowns left, and you are the most hilarious. Fire Penny and beg the NCAA for mercy. Your delicate feminine digestive system forcing you to stop watching us every January because we suck so bad. Predicting that we won't even make the NIT.
Quite the Nostradamus 
Can you post that article again with the quote from Tubbys lawyer? You know the one you claim “made you correct” about Memphis getting in the b12 even though we didn’t. I love those mental gymnastics
It doesn't matter that Smith and the lawyer said the university brass told them, that the BIG 12 told them that we were in .
What we want to see is where ANYONE in the university has publicly stated that the BIG 12 lied to them that we were in
Fact is IF the BIG 12 had told MEMPHIS brass that we were in ----they would have put a hard gag order on MEMPHIS brass not to tell a soul so it wouldn't leak
Fact if the BIG 12 had told the MEMPHIS brass not to tell anybody--then how STUPID it would have been to them to confide that info to a coach in the BIG 12 that we were trying to hire,
Fact is --it was COMMON KNOWLEDGE all over town that MEMPHIS was trying to hire Smith --to HELP GET IN THE BIG 12--NOT because we were already told we were in . If we were already told we were in then why hire Smith.
Fact the MEMPHIS brass was just speculating when they told Smith that we were in
Fact- it is 100% FALSE that Smith contacted MEMPHIS about our job opening --in spite of O-FER repeating over and over that Smith contacted the university first about the opening. The university contacted Smith first.
Fact- O-FER posted REPEATEDLY for MONTHS that we were #2 on everybodys list only behind Cincinnati
Fact-O-FER posted REPEATEDLY for MONTHS that NOBODY wanted Houston
Fact -true to O-FER' M.O.-(after being called out for being WRONG by posters on our beloved site) -he is now crawfishing and walking back all those MONTHS of posting
Fact--true to form his M.O.---he is NOW PROCLAIMING that all those months of posting his predictions ---- they NEVER REALLY was his beliefs or predictions --RATHER he was only QUOTING what the MEMPHIS brass was saying
Fact if O-FER is correct LOL---then one would have to believe that-- A) The BIG 12 told the MEMPHIS brass that we were #2 on everybody's list only behind Cincinnati--meaning the SEC/BIG 10/ACC etc EVERYBODY's list-- B) that the BIG 12 told the MEMPHIS brass that nobody wanted Houston
Fact--if we were in fact #2 on everybody's list ---then Houston getting in would have knocked either UCF/BYU off the list not MEMPHIS
Fact if O-FER is correct LOL---then all the MEMPHIS brass--you know (all those great contacts O-FER has now admitted was 100% WRONG---the great contacts that O-FER is now blaming for looking like an IDIOT on this board) . all those contacts were naively led down the garden path ----were spreading it all over town what the BIG 12 had told them most assuredly in private with a gag order
Fact-- the caliber of men that O-fer is now blaming for his months and months of INACCURATE posts -----doesn't seem to me the types of men --that -IF TOLD BY THE BIG 12 that we were #2 on everybody's list only behind CINN---and nobody wanted Houston-they don't seem like the type of men to go spreading that information around all over town------those type of men didn't get to were they are/were by having loose lips
Fact---those men were SPECULATING just like O-FER was----and just like I was when I posted the thread titled "THe reputation of a city".
Fact HOPE--maybe we will be/actually are #2 on everybody's list this next go round--hope so--maybe we are/will be
Question---getting in the BIG 12-Knowing that our football record will suffer greatly----and most likely our basketball record as well . We will have about the same chance as Mistake/OlePizz/Iowa State etc etc to get in the FB playoffs ----would we rather be in the AAC with a better chance to get in the playoffs playing crappy teams-----or probably never a chance to get to the playoffs and play real teams
Someday maybe ALL conference winners will automatically be included in the playoffs ---conversely maybe someday they change it that ONLY power 5 teams go to the playoffs thus eliminating the G5. At that point the G5 teams start their own playoffs--------power 5 playoffs --G5 playoffs
Knowing that our records will suffer greatly we have to get in a power 5 anyway --otherwise if they someday exclude g5 teams from the playoffs we will be the equivalent of division 2
However what if they start giving ALL CONFERENCE winners a spot in the playoffs ----would we rather be in a lesser conference like the AAC with a lot better chance of the playoffs--or the BIG12 with a much much lesser chance to go to the playoffs
I do think IF WE EVER get in a Power conference or if they start giving EVERY CONFERENCE WINNER an automatic spot in the playoffs ---that our recruiting will go through the roof --local and mid south players that normally go elsewhere will start staying home and playing for the MEMPHIS TIGERS
