BYU were jawing and cheap shorting the entire game. They were really itching for a fight and got a Beale Street Beatdown. That is what they get for trash talking Memphis all week. They had this weird vendetta against us and I don't know why.

Can't be too proud of that "beat down" it was disgraceful by both.

How can any of you root for an AAC teams? Any time a school does well in this conference it moves them closer to a P5 invite. Gone are the days of rooting for conference mates. I enjoyed that when we were in the BE but until we get into a P5 conference it's every school for themselves. For all we know this win catapults Memphis into the B12 and leaves us stuck in crap.....honestly, I just can't hope any of our conference mates do well. If we were guaranteed to all be in this dumpster fire for awhile Id cheer or feel good for their win, not the hideous brawl. However, with rumors swirling, I'm kinda bummed they won.

Anybody catch that sucker punch Kai Nacua planted on the back of a Memphis players' skull? That was a real jaw-dropping "wow" moment right there. The whole fight was ridiculous.

If you watch the entire 3 minute fight, at the end you will see BYU players fighting with each other. They sure are a feisty bunch.

That's the kind of unsportsmanlike attitude that helped keep us out of the ACC . Go ahead ....keep it up, lets see how fast the Huskies get invited anywhere. If your part of a group, you band together, you work togfether. All for one and one for all....until you find a way out of it. But... in the mean time you represent like you were where you want to be. That's the high road. That's what gets respect.

As far as the brawl...what a shame. Memphis has a golden opportunity to get respect not only for themselves but for the league and they blow it regardless of what BYU said or did.

I heard one BYU player made fun of the other BYU player's wives, could be a rumor though.

Definitely cheering for Memphis. Don't like BYU after our game with them and they think they're all world. AAC needs more quality teams and AAC needs a boost in rep. Go Tigers.

BYU was very chippy , late hitting when we played them. Some were actually saying that they play dirty. I thought so. Sad for a religious school.

Is that because of the way mendenhall coaches? Glad we didn't have to spend a week with that team.

Please tell us how that worked out for us in the OBE.

Good point. It is better if the entire conference completely sucks. That will help UConn get into a better league.

So when Cincinnati, UCF and, now, Memphis publicly pimp themselves for a P5 invite, that's okay. When we do it, it's unsportsmanlike? Tell me, did Tom Jurich and UL act in a sportsmanlike manner when they actively politicked their way into the ACC over us? How sportsmanlike is Boston College acting when they want to protect what they think is "their turf"?

CR is every man for himself and always has been. And if Memphis is able to use one friggin' bowl win and a FedEx sugar daddy to line some B12 pockets to gain a P5 spot ahead of us, then I will swear off following this .

Memphis dude - I understand that it's chest-thumping time for you, your fanbase and school. Your turnaround from 2013 to 2014 was truly remarkable and a feat that we all hope UCONN can replicate from 2014 to 2015. Congratulations on that. But what we're talking about here is a disgusting, embarrassing fight that has no place in any sporting event. BYU showed just how poor of a loser they are and Memphis showed just how poor of a winner they are. There is absolutely no other way to summarize what happened.

It really does suck that the fight completely overshadowed what was a thrilling game. When I turn on any sports show, the fight is the highlight that is predominantly shown. Not much/any of the game action. And that is truly sad.

I cannot ever imagine chest thumping over a share of an AAC title or a Miami Beach Bowl win. Add in the embarrassing fight and it's just impossible to understand this guy's mindset.
 
Memphis did beat BYU...they lost to the P5 teams on their schedule (good teams, though).

When Boise beat Oklahoma, it got them a lot of attention... beat a P5 team that is in the upper half of their conference standings and folks notice...do it twice and it's not a fluke.
 
Amazing the stand that some are taking here.

I think that very few things scream "STUPID" about any individual football player, more than starting to throw fists at another player wearing all that gear, but it is what it is.

I'd be more than happy, to have a 10-3 record, a bowl game win played in Miami Beach, and bunch of idiot players to sort out as to who the dumbest of the dumb are choosing to throw fists at another player wearing all that gear. More likely to break your own hand, than inflict anything to anyone else.

Congrats to Memphis, I don't remember if we have them on the schedule next season, but if we do, I hope we kick the crap out of them, to the point they are so frustrated they choose to throw fists and break their own hands. Hope is a good thing, it's all we got.
