“This is big time football,” Montgomery said. “We had to do what we had to do to get our foundation to where it is. ... Now we have some reinforcements coming in, we have a better understanding of both sides of our system and our people.

On Wednesday Coach Mo was on ESPN Charlotte's The Pulse, discussing quarterbacks and other starting positions. Here's the 10 minute podcast:

I hope so. ECU did not look very good last year.

If it doesn't work, do you go after Kevin Sumlin?

We'll give him a pass. He must have slept through the 90's and 2000's. When Memphis was terrible just about every single year.

we haven't played in football since CUSA...you guys should come check out the game in Memphis this season. You won't recognize Memphis football or even the Liberty Bowl with all the improvements.

He is now bookmarking this thread, with a calendar reminder for November 26th.

Until then...

lol, your stadium is just as old as ours.

The Liberty Bowl was built in 1965 for under 3 million dollars.

Memphis invested 19.5 million in 1987 to renovate the Liberty Bowl.

Then from 2010-2016 almost 35 million was spent on improvements and renovations.

recent bowl game visitors from TCU and WVU had nothing but nice things to say about the stadium.

I think he meant that the stadium is the lipstick...

Nothing but good things to say about the Liberty Bowl. However, I do have a question. I haven't payed close enough attention to the host sites of all these bowls. How many other college stadiums host bowls that the home team is not eligible to play in? Seems weird.

For instance:
Taxslayer Bowl: Florida eligible
New Mexico Bowl: New Mexico eligible
Boca Raton Bowl: FAU eligible
Idaho Potato Bowl: Boise State eligible
Dollar General Bowl: South Bama eligible
Hawaii Bowl: duh
Military Bowl: Navy eligible

Only others I can think of where the home team can't play are:
Birmingham Bowl that UAB can't play in
Independence Bowl that La Tech can't play in
Alamo Bowl - UTSA not invited
Sun Bowl - UTEP not eligible
Arizona Bowl - Arizona not invited

I guess he hasn't paid Memphis football any attention these last 3 seasons. I think the AAC has the backup deal with the Liberty Bowl, so in theory if the stars aligned right Memphis could play in the Liberty Bowl.

but really, the point is to sell hotel rooms, lots of BBQ, and overpriced parking to the Big 12/SEC hordes who visit...having Memphis play in the Liberty Bowl wouldn't do that.

I would think you'd sell more hotel rooms with Memphis being in the game than some random Big12/SEC team, since your fans would be more likely to go to Memphis for a bowl game than TCU/Auburn fans.

This, of course, assumes that not all of your alumni are still in Memphis. Your hotels fill up for Memphis' regular season games, right?

Wow, what a defensive ECU fan base! But its easy to undestand - you're routinely called Eastern Carolina. Zero nationally known. Yet still bragging about the local yahoos showing up at your local football games in a small town where the opening of a new Hardies headlines talk at the gas station. You consistantly are holding the 'wait til next year' magnifing glass up to your tiny Greenville genatilia and hoping 'for next year' --- good luck with that since its looking like a long term plan. Lol

any SEC team, I don't care which, will bring 20,000+ fans to Memphis...almost any Big 12 team (Kansas being the only exception) will bring 15-20,000+ fans to Memphis.

moreover, Memphis alums all live in the area...and honestly, playing in the Liberty Bowl wouldn't excite me...Miami (BYU) and Birmingham (Auburn) were both a blast, though!

Liberty Bowl attendance
2014: (A&M vs WVU) 51,282
2015: (Arkansas vs KState) 61,136
2016: (UGA vs TCU) 51,087

whatever they're doing seems to be working.

I don't see the point in talking smack now...but I'd sure like to see Memphis massacre them come Thanksgiving time...I can't wait to hear their fans attempt to rationalize that L...you have to remember, last time they saw Memphis football was 2012, and we were a whole different animal then.
