Memphis BABY!!
 

I knew Memphis was legit when they upset my team, Illinois, and they backed me up tonight!! Upset Louisville on the road. That's major, and I picked them to win Conf. USA!!!

It is fun to watch two great college-turned miserable pro-turned college again coaches duke it out to see who will have the distinct honor of being this year's first round upset special

Memphis is of course legit. I was pumped during the game, just ask my girlfriend. And we will nt be upset.

I thought it was a great game, even though Memphis did some stupid stuff at the end.

I miss the days when C-USA was a walk in the park for the Bearcats. :(

Calapari and Pitno are changing that fastly.

Let's not talk college basketball, OK? Last night my beloved UTEP Miners lost to freakin' Texas A&M Corpus-Christi and fell to 4-19. Can football season please start so that Jordan Palmer can let me down too?

Screw the Bearcats.

Acutally, Memphis is not that good. They will lose in the 1st rd of the Dance! Hehehe!!

Just kidding of course.

Good win for Memphis!

Go C-USA!

Don't forget about Marquette!

I would put C-USA's top 5 against any other conference.

Memphis
Louisville
Marquette
Cincy
DePaul or St. Louis

Tulane and UAB are also hot right now.

Thoughts?

Yes. TCU needs a new arena. :)

C-USA will make some noise in the tournament and should get 5 or 6 teams in and a couple in the NIT.

Yeah, TCU's arena is pretty small. It's nowhere near as tiny as SMU's though. Of course, TCU's court does have some historic significance. That's where Brandon Wolfram became UTEP's all-time leading scorer a couple of years ago... :)

Is that where he got his 100th career point? j/k :D

I know you're kidding, but it's a pretty nice accomplishment to be able to pass Jim Barnes (#1 overall NBA draft pick in '64 or '65), Tiny Archibald and Tim Hardaway...

Deja vu my friends.

Wow, how times have changed it just two short years... :)

My God this was a confusing post untill I read all the way down.

And in 2004-05, that honor falls to Florida State - at home, no less.

Some of you guys have way too good of memories for this kind of stuff.

Upset Illinios? When?


Todd

Ugh, I remember that game well...Chris Massey came back and just went to town for about 10 minutes in the second half. Illinois was top ten at the time and Memphis won by about 4.

Don't worry jeeber.. glory for a mid major is fleeting ;)

Yeah, Missouri beat Kansas once upon a time as well. :)


Todd

I know we beat Illinois at home right after Christmas when they were top 10. I think we went up there last year and beat them too. Massy was a beast that game.

I am going to the Memphis vs. Tulane game today. It is my first chance to check out the fourm.

We are going to the Fedex Forum today! Go Tulane!! :D

I'm so glad some of you guys had a chance to check out the FedEx Forum on a day when we just laid it to Tulane.

This is of course coming from a Tiger's season ticket holder.

Darius Washington 4 President.

Sweet. A U of M poster psting here on FOFC! You should post more often.

I was sitting up in the nose bleed section but it was still fun. The line of view was good. I was impressed with the forum. Afterwards, I showed my girlfriend downtown. She had never been to that part of Memphis before.

I'm all for Memphis too, only problem is my first college is #1 right now. Go Illini! And go Memphis too!

I agree GoldenEagle, it is very hard to have a bad sight line at the Forum.

I was against the city paying 250 mil for that arena, but damn if that place isn't great to watch a basketball game. The crowd wasn't really into the game though. It is difficult to get the student's into the game when you keep pushing the student section farther back.

If you want to see a VERY lively crowd, come back to the Forum on 2/26. We host Loserville (sorry, Louisville) at 8:00.

Don't forget to pick up some BBQ-Nachos.

Rodney Carney for Vice-President

Easy with the Louisville Smack :P

What cabinet position does D'Angelo get?

Emporer!!!!!

Can't wait to see the Miners shut him down next year... :p

I love how this was the only post ever for this guy.

I think he lost posts in the move and later purge. I know for a fact he was active in the early days of X-Com...

Antiques Roadshow was in Memphis on last night's episode. That is all I have to add to this thread.

You know what is incredibly sad? My in-laws were on the show. sigh!!

What an embarrasment.

He was fairly active on the other board. He had around 500 posts I think. When we made the move, he wasn't real fond of the new board, and never really posted again.

Louisville has managed to have a pretty decent team for a few years now.
