Article does not paint a hopeful picture.

that's because it told the truth...we're not getting in, and I doubt the Big XII expands...time to focus on the AAC.

As a Tiger fan, getting in a P5 conference would be great. But, I feel like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football with Lucy holding it. She may say that she is never going to move the ball as he kicks again, but we all know how that comes out.

So a former beat writer's opinion is the truth?

We never liked him anyway

I've never thought he was anything more than average.

+1

The article is a mirror of the article in the Big XII expansion thread written by a writer with BYU connections. Phil apparently believes that opinion is closest to the truth. It is interesting he made no attempt to offer any
plausible reasons for Memphis and was not really keen on Cincinnati either. It was not much of a primer in my opinion.

Doesn't sound hopeful, notwithstanding the predictions of TC. Let's see TC or the media??????

A message board poster with sources claims we are getting in. That's good enough for me

Posted this yesterday on gigantic B12 thread-Texas will NOT play in league with Memphis. It's a fact. Don't ask for links. There are none.

Time to face reality. If TX is forced to leave B12-they have B10 or Pac12 to choose from-the league will be disintegrated into parts by $EC, B10, and ACC. Anyone left standing will try to hook up with a few AAC teams.

Most who cover CFB believe this is how it will go down. Stuke obviously did not want to put that in article.

That alternate universe that you call reality....whatever.

He says Memphis' tv market does nothing to the B12's tv footprint, then goes on to list Boise St as a candidate ahead of Memphis.

I still say the only way we get in is if the AAC gets raided, in which I don't think is going to happen anytime soon! JMO

Don't know if we're getting in or not, but Phil sucked as beat writer. I like Tom 100 time more.

look what has happened lately:

We were ranked in the CFP rankings

We won 10 games in a year followed by a 9 win season.

Our attendance has doubled in football

Our QB was a FIRST ROUND pick! and for the last 18 hours the story of the draft has been Ole Miss' troubles and Memphis' Paxton Lynch going to the Super Bowl Champs!

Our Un-firable joke of a coach was hired away by an ACC team and we saved $ 9 million and got a real coach

the dark cloud has evaporated from Tiger Athletics , this is a new day, I'm not going to let a washed up beat reporter who never thought much of our program ruin my day!
