It was OVER 39,000 - to be accurate.

But, it was even more impressive (and I know you were questioning their turnstyles) ... it was that many. And, they WAITED over 2 1/2 hours for the game to start. Endured over 270 Lightning strikes nearby & the bands were kept off the field at half-time. And ... longtime Fans of Memphis football were emotional how truly professional the University made this first game. (well ... they have a new state-of-the-art Scoreboard at the Liberty Bowl)

I don't know if Memphis will be competitive. Temple either. But, they have the intravenous fluid cranked into their arm now. I am beginning to think that Comcast really pushed this (and FedEx played a role/made promises). But ... they are in. And, it is not simply that Mike Tranghese earned consulting fees getting them to that point & Rick Pitino wanted them. There was some compelling reason they got votes.

Long-time Memphis football fans welcomed the lightning strikes, many wore tinfoil hats and drove railroad spikes through their feet and into the ground.

Now that is funny.

But ... I am afraid, like the Ain'ts, this Fanbase may have a lot more of these experiences before some Program Builder gets them over .500.
