So uconn sold a home game to BC. Nice. Prolly could have gotten more getting slaughtered by an SEC school and people might have even watched.

UConn has a much better chance at beating BC, a regional rival, than a decent SEC team (although, I'm sure there are a few bottom feeder SEC teams they could beat as well).

We have a home game against Mizzou next season. We dropped a barn burner to them on the road last year by a score of 9-6.

You should stop trying to be shere. He's a good troll that brings humor to the board. Your posts just give reason to believe the stereotype that everyone from Memphis is an idiot.

So what though? What is the significance of that truth? Maybe we'll start playing body bag games like that if we get broke enough. This here is just moving a home game to a regional MLB baseball stadium that was interested in hosting the game and is paying decent money for it.

RE: UConn Steals P5 OC and our league Identity
I APOLOGIZE TO ALL OF YOU FOR RESORTING TO THIS:




BUT TIGER SMOKE/BIG EAST HOMER/ACC FOR LIFE IS THE ONE WE BELIEVE HACKED WESTHOFF'S FACEBOOK PAGE AND DEVICE.



PLEASE, PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN DEALING WITH THIS MAN. BIG EAST GAVE TIGERSMOKE FIFTEEN POSITIVE REP POINTS. DO YOU NOT FIND THAT ODD?



HE IS MOST LIKELY USING 3 DEVICES WITH DIFFERENT IP ADDRESSES AND A PROXY SERVER TO ACQUIRE ALL THESE USERNAMES.



I WILL BE OFF THE BOARD SHORTLY BUT I AM ASKING YOU: EDIT YOUR PERSONAL PROFILE SO USERS LIKE TIGER/BIG EAST/ACC CANNOT SEE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.



HE ALSO MAKES THE MOST OFF THE WALL COMMENTS ABOUT FOOTBALL THAT HAVE NO REALISTIC BASIS.



GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL.

PS- TIGER SMOKE, LAST TIME...

I'm not sure what type of coach UConn is getting from Auburn. What I've heard was that Rhett Lashlee wasn't really allowed to run his offense at Auburn, and he said, forget this, I'm taking a pay cut & going to UConn. But, in fairness to what the UCF fan said earlier, a force out is the first thing that came to my mind.


Some of you guys act like UGa and 'Bama are easy to beat, but in reality, they are not. It's true that UGa lost to Vandy. It's true that the Dawgs lost to quite a few people that they should have beat (GT springs to my Dawg mind). But make no mistake, the 'Dawgs get up for rivalry games, and Auburn is a huge rivalry game for UGa. I would dare say that for a UGa coach beating Auburn is on par with beating UF, GT, and Tennessee. UGa and Auburn recruit a lot of the same type of players from the state of Georgia. 'Bama pretty much locks up recruiting in the state of Alabama, so Auburn has to go somewhere else if it wants to get some good players. Since Auburn is very near the Alabama-Georgia state line, that state is Georgia, but Auburn also recruits the state of Florida heavily as well. UGa knows that there is a lot of high school talent in state of Georgia, so they do their best to try shut other programs out, but Auburn always seem to find a way in, and for all practical intents and purposes, you could consider Auburn to be a major college football power in the state of Georgia that rivals UGa. GT, is for all practical intents and purposes, is to UGa like how Memphis is to the Vols. It is a good program, but doesn't get that much publicity outside of the Atlanta metro, but a point that GT has in its favor that Memphis does not is that GT is in the P5 and Memphis is not. The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry (it is actually the second oldest rivalry in the south; UVa-UNC is the oldest) and the Iron Bowl are two very hard games to navigate for any Auburn head coach. Of the coaches that have been at Auburn in recent memory, Gus Malzahn has actually done very well, IMO, with what he's had to work with. Malzahn's challenges would parallel that of Mark Gottfried of NC State in men's basketball, IMO. UNC & Duke are both formidable giants in that sport, just like UGa & 'Bama are both formidable giants in football. Is it easy for NC State to topple both UNC & Duke every year in men's basketball??

All that said, Lashlee should do fine at UConn.

More apt analogy is to Vols/Vandy. Memphis does not have 4 national titles.
