I'm wondering if we will ever play Houston.

I think your claim of "hanging" with ucla proves my point. They do not give any awards for getting close in fball. You shouldn't have to claim close calls in your resume.

I disagree, we turned the moral victory at UCLA into a home crowd of 46,000+ and an ass kicking for MTSU...

If you want to be the best in your conference, you need to play the best OOC...we went all the way with UCLA, and hung 3-7 with Mississippi well into the 4th quarter...I'll let my team do the talking on Saturday.

I'm excited...

SEC will fill the bowl spot.

Jan 3 means I get to spend the holidays with my family.

Sat at noon means I can drive in Friday night after work, drive home after the game Sat afternoon.

Cheap tickets, and cheap rooms.

I'll hit Dreamland and Saw's BBQ...Tour the 16th street church...and watch the Tigers take on an SEC foe.

Dreamland is way overrated. Give my Johnny Ray's or Saw's any day of the week
 
Don't you guys mess up our day...

God I don't care.

Please tell me no UCONN fans go on your board posting pictures of potential trophies.

we have several UConn posters who are regulars on our board...even more on the AAC board...I don't, however, monitor the content of their posts.

You do realize that absolutely nobody here gives a crap about the AAC right? It literally exists to fill our schedule with games.

U of Memphis was a good poster here last year and also during hoops season. Let's give this person a break. It's been a long season and we're all ornery but this guy has no troll history

Skibs...trolling is all about context. At this point, i consider even being reminded football season isn't over a troll.

UConn has lots of things we'd love to have...BCS appearance...mens titles...women's titles...

We're just excited about potentially winning our first conference title since the early 70s in the MVC.

Either way, we still have to earn it on the field.

Oh, I remember the Larry Porter years, and completely get the anger...been there, done that.
 
Given that no matter how deep in sh----t I can find myself, I always look for the upside -

maybe, this Memphis school can take on some kind of University of New Jersey role, and every time they ever want to win a championship, we can stomp them, no matter how bad we are. Wouldn't that just be sweet if that somehow can happen. You won the AAC b-ball title, sure.....but we have the national championship. You want the football title? nope - not this time. I think I found a little spark inside myself for this upcoming game, to go privately fan back into a fire.

See - no matter how deep in sh----t I am? At least I'm not submerged in sh-----t.

Except Memphis didn't win the AAC hoops title. We blew them out on their home court with their fans booing their efforts and everyone in Memphis questioning if Pastner can coach. Other than that, stellar post Carl :)
 
Oh yeah, forgot they didnt win that title either. Bobby D better bring his family and caring discipline in our Partridge family love bus on the road and whip up an old school UCONN nightmare of a drubbing of a team with championship dreams.

What's up Huskies? It's that time again, Memphis and UConn will meet at Liberty Bowl Saturday for a 3pm (local time) match up on ESPN-News. Memphis is currently a 20.5 point favorite.

Memphis will be playing for a share of the AAC title, while UConn is trying to turn it's program around under a new coach.

Weather looks to be 65, cloudy, 10% rain chance.

Come on down to Memphis and enjoy some BBQ, Southern Hospitality, and good weather!

Dude... I just don't care... It's basketball season... I'm more interested in the hockey team than the football team these days.

All the teams that kicked our ass last year haven't kicked our ass this year.
 
It doesn't matter. Your schedule in the conference(weak) and no significant out of conference WINS(not close calls) is going to end up putting you behind Cincinnati and likely UCF in all the rankings as long as they finish out with wins and tie at 1 loss in the conference. Cincy will likely do that, but UCF has to beat E. Carolina who you didn't have to face. When you go around the conference and play all the best teams, then you have something. Otherwise, you are a one hit wonder with a very, very favorable conference schedule. Play UCF, E. Carolina, and Cincy in the same year, and let's see the result.

So don't play the games just go by the names on the uniforms.

If you look at the actual results to date... Memphis is the best team in the league.

I know the Boneyard worships at the altar of East Carolina (no one in the G5 can give them a game!), but maybe let go of the hype...

There is no statistical way for Memphis to finish behind UCF or Cincy if they win Sat.

UCF plays @ ECU
Cincy plays @ Temple and Houston

Moreover, you don't pick your conference schedule, it's assigned...

The only thing that excites me about this game is that it's one week closer to the end of the season.

AAC? Get us the out of this garbage dumpster fire of a conference.

You could always drop football and join the 'Big East'
 
I have no regrets about the AAC as a conference. This is a collection of schools that chose to join ranks with UConn, Cincy, and USF when we needed friends, quite frankly. Nobody would give a darn who was or wasn't in the AAC if we were getting 20 million per year in a tv contract and access to a bunch of high-profile bowls. But that isn't the case, so people are lashing out at our fellow conference members. If people miss the rivalries we had between BC, Syracuse, or Rutgers, well...then blame BC, Syracuse, and Rutgers! People shouldn't whine about conference mates that kept us from putting our football team into the MAC or back to 1-AA. We should thank them.

It would also be nice if we could actually get ourselves good enough to BEAT them every now and again before we start whining about them... :(
