Hi! Memphis fan here! I come in peace! Haha I was reading through some of the posts on here about what people think/have heard Memphis is like. I must admit, I got a good chuckle reading some of them. To the whole crime/murder part, all of that happens in a few certain areas around the city where they all kill each other over a game of cards gone wrong! But none of you will be anywhere near those areas when you come! If the tournament is in fact held here in Memphis, I really hope you all make the trip! Our city really has a lot to offer. We have Graceland, Beale street, Mud Island (no, it's not an island of mud). We have a river walk and plenty of beautiful parks downtown and along the river. We have the Peabody Hotel where you can go to the rooftop and see the tradition of seeing the ducks do their thing. We have a great music scene. And we have GREAT food, especially barbecue! Best in the world. The Rendevouz is where it's at. Shaq and Charles Barkley were actually there about a week ago. And the FedEx Forum is a beautiful venue. And you won't have to worry about empty seats on TV. During Memphis' session, the place will be packed. Same with Louisville. And when everybody else is playing, Memphis fans will still come close to packing the place. Doesn't matter who is playing. We just love basketball! So I really hope you all can make the trip! If you do, you will see that the view that you have always had in your mind of Memphis is 100% false!

Good food, good music, great hoops-what else do you need? Nuttin
 
Ahh memories, the Peabody and the Rendevouz has the best dry ribs I've ever tasted. Crime is everywhere in this country, you'll find it if you want to buy drugs while traveling or like grimy strip joints. After all no ones moving down there just visiting.

For four days you will pig out, drink/party hearty, take in the sights, listen to some great music and boat ride on the mighty Mississippi river. Two hours from the Clinton museum, Nashville is on the way down if driving. I'm not selling it but to compare this city to Hartford is fantasy.

I see AAC tourney week as being Spring Break on steroids. I'll be there down South if it happens and I won't be bored.
 
It may be packed, it may be great...but it isn't MSG. It never will be.

You can put all the seasoning you want on a rump roast- it still ain't filet mignon. No matter what you tell yourself.

But if I go and have a good time that would be OK, wouldn't it?

Newsflash: MSG isn't an option.

Burlington, VT would be a fun place.

Totally irrational and out of the question, but a fun place.
 
We are spoiled rotten- unfortunately the reason we are spoiled no longer exists. Post BE- Memphis will be just fine if that is where the AACT ends up. Memphis fans seem like good basketball people - I am very glad they are in this dudie of a conference with us. I simply am hoping that we will not be in the AACT more then a year or two.

Win the d@mn thing a couple of years, add a couple of trophies to the case that no one will look at, and get the hell out of Dodge. Sounds like a plan.
