Just wondering if you read the comments:
vu-crowd-liberty-bowl-550-2011.jpg

And what does a picture of Cincinnati playing Vanderbilt in the Liberty Bowl have to do with the price of tea in China?

The poster linked to a site claiming no fans showed up at Memphis's games nor at the Liberty Bowl. The poster said the stadium was 1/3rd filled for the Liberty Bowl. Others questioned him and told him that the Liberty Bowl was a decent crowd (as evidenced in the picture, and that at some of the Memphis games, the crowd was at least double the size (USM was mentioned) that the poster was claiming.

Show me where he said the Liberty Bowl, the game that is a bowl is less than 1/3d full. Because I didn't see that in Wing U's post.

We're clearly discussing Memphis Football attendance. You posted a picture of the Liberty Bowl that Cincy and Vandy played in.

That doesn't count towards Memphis football attendance. Try to keep up.

Maybe Upstater thinks that the Liberty Bowl, where Memphis plays is the same thing as the Liberty Bowl, the bowl game.

Even though the Liberty Bowl is played in the Liberty Bowl doesn't mean that it counts towards Memphis football attendance. This is Pennstater logic.

Just wait till he finds out where the Cotton Bowl is played!

Really? Well, most normal people would respond to those comments where the comments are made.


This guy is in academia, but he cites a comment from the comments section below an article, which as we all know is always a reliable source of information. That's pretty impressive.

You're losing your mind. I asked him if he read the thread below the post he linked to, because in that thread people were questioning the numbers, and it appears those people are absolutely right.

You're both wrong. Obviously. If it's arrogant to be right, I'm arrogant. The pics prove it. Denigrate Memphis all you want. First we had a guy here saying they have no bball fanbase when they are well supported. What an ignoramus. Now you cite a hackjob article that is so full of it, it's easy to prove.

Both of you can go on circle jerking each other about the horridness of Memphis. They may be bad, but citing idiocy isn't winning you any points.

The picture. Singular, proved nothing. We said their (Memphis's) attendance sucks and it does. Your picture was a picture not involving a game of football that Memphis was playing in their own stadium.
So give it up Pennstater.

I already explained it, do you need it twice? The poster made a claim about low attendance at the Liberty Bowl that year to argue they shouldn't renovate it. He gave numbers that were all at least half lower than the estimates of the posters. In the Bowl games case, his estimate was 1/3rd the number of people in the picture. It looked about 90% full. The idea there were only 20k at the bowl game is laughable, and so were the poster's claims. Wrong again!

A poster here? Or are we arguing about someone who isn't even involved in this conversation and you decided to post a picture here? You're crazy.

A poster here linked to an article about actual attendance at the Liberty Bowl for Memphis football and bowl games. Why? I assume to show how abysmal attendance was at the Liberty Bowl. The picture showed it wasn't as bad as claimed. I don't know if you fell and hit your head this week, but you should get it checked out.

Typical Pennstater. Make stuff up and twist facts.

He was referring to attendance at Memphis games in the Liberty Bowl, not the actual Liberty Bowl bowl game.

The picture you posted has nothing to do with Memphis football, yet you tried to pass it off as a Memphis game. Pathetic and comical.

You have a brain cramp. A bad inability to read. The Liberty Bowl game between Vandy and Cincy was one of the games mentioned in that very link!!!!!!!

Educating people is what I do. Just say thank you, you're now better off with the facts: Memphis has fans. Before you were lost in the wilderness.

I just want to thank everyone in this thread for the show.

To summarize: Zoo & Wing claim Memphis is a football skank with few fans. Wing links to an article that states Memphis football drew 67k for the entire year. Upstater responds by noting the comments section. The said linked article claimed that the Liberty Bowl game between Vandy/Cincy only filled half the stadium. Another commenter on linked article posts a picture that seems to debunk that. Other commenters in said article now question the Memphis Tigers number of 67k.

And we're all a little dumber, yet amused, for reading..........

Carry on.

Carry on.

The slam on Memphis began even earlier in the thread when Zoo said they have no basketball fans, only to be shown that this is not true. They'll go on blasting Memphis (Memphis's football is pretty bad, I already said that, but no reason to slice the number in half when it's already abysmal, or to downgrade the bball side) and I'll keep bringing the facts.

I think you're mischaracterizing Zoo's stance. It's pretty clear that everyone was talking about Memphis football. You were actually the one who brought in hoops.

Zoo's original stance was that Memphis was Tulane with a basketball team and crappy academics. Tough to argue that point.

A fanbase is a fanbase. They do draw for basketball, but not for football.

Memphis deserves to be slammed hard and often. You're a Memphis defender, that's almost as bad as apologizing for Pasqualoni.
