Fortunately for Jay, I don't think he cares. And he is on the radio too (albeit with less of an audience).

He’s on the radio?!? What station? I didn’t know that. AM or FM? Not that that matters, I would peg him or an internet show or podcast. Something that you can do from your parents basement.

Radio Station:730AM
Time:1pm.

So Danny, with your logic, Mr Brenner was OWNED by Martin and Carson while going thru their losing streak? See how that works?
Why not wait until April, see how the season ended, the AAC tournament ended, NIT, NCAA, Who he has coming in and Who leave before we say Who has owned Who. I predicted a 18 win team and even if they eek out 19, doesn’t change my feelings.
Oh and i’ll Keep my radio turned to something different, the 5 listeners can have fun listening. Hell one of those 5 is a blantant racist.

Jay Brenner is a clown. Read some of his tweets and you’ll understand why.

You certainly have the right to be on either side of the fence, but I haven't read anything he's said that is not fundamentally true. And in this article, he's right. John Martin doesn't know ish. And Brad Carson blocked him for simply saying that their credibility is on the line? They have been hammering Tubby all along. Relentlessly. And Jay simply points out we are better than expected this year (which is true) and almost better than last year when he had 2 Lawsons and Markel.

How is any of what he said wrong?
[/quote

And what has martin said that has been fundamentally wrong? Jay had the same hot take when they won 4 in a row but then they started losing again and he stopped responding. Let’s leave the 6th in the conf talk (the fact that he’s even punping that up makes me laugh) until the season is over. He was spouting off that narrative before and then they stared to slide and fall in the standing and he shut up again.

The thing is, if you follow what he's saying, is that while he's not satisfied with that the simple truth is they are exceeding preseason expectations. Of course we all want them to win the AAC. Or compete for the title. But with the Lawson's quitting on Memphis and Markel leaving, Tubby and the kids are overachieving based on expectations.

They aren't overachieving AT ALL.

That's the whole point.

This year, according to the vegas line, they have won three games in which they were underdogs: @Temple, @SMU, and @Tulane

I'll count Tulane but the facts the last minute DNP for their starting PG would have shifted the line. The more we know about SMU, the less of a surprise that is.

As for losing as favorites, Memphis lost to ECU and at vs. UCF.

Their three best wins are vs. Temple, NKU, and Tulsa.

Now that is closer to being “owned” and he does that to Jay on a regular basis Lol

Saluki is full of sh!te. Apparently, at a minimum, he makes listener #6. And you might want to remember Vegas lines are set to make the general public (most of who are like Saluki and know nothing) bet equally on both sides.

How can anyone who is reasonably educated not agree they have overachieved if they exceed the expectations? There is still time left in the season, so they could get hot or go cold, but if they finish above where they were predicted, by my understanding, they have exceeded expectations.

There you go not being honest again...

You know he said preseason expectations...But you bring up point spreads which have nothing to do with the preseason outside of the first few games.

RE: John Martin and Brad Carson get OWNED -
Look, I am a realist. The Tigers are nowhere near what any of us want. Josh left the program in pretty poor shape and Tubby is doing it his way. His way isn't in your face or flashy, it's just steady. And it may be taking more time than a lot of people want.

But Martin, Parrish, Calkins, Carson and the entire 92.9 crew are completely against him and don't want him to succeed. Why would you not want him to succeed? Jay calls them on that and personally, I agree with him.

Tubby needs to get some players to change to get to the level we want, but if this team wins 20 games, how was this season an abject failure with who left and 11 new players? Be realistic and quit listening to 92.9 horses!t and guys like Saluki.

That's just my opinion.

Actually, the bbjones guys comes across as pathetically desperate.

If you look at his twitter feed far too many of his posts are about 92.9 and anyone associated with that station. WAY too much of his feed is just rambling about 92.9. He needs to pay them rent cause they live in his head.

He obsesses about them. Perhaps he's trying to make a name for his radio show, so he thinks by "punching up" he'll get recognition.

What's even more confusing is that by trying to contrast himself to 929, he has to entrench himself in the "everything is awesome" approach to the status of the program. Which, of course, is idiotic.

He also has to try to disparage previous teams to try to make this one appear successful, which is weird, too.

It's clear you don't like him from your tweet exchanges. That's fine. I think he owned them because he speaks the truth and they block him. In my book, as the kids say, they got served.

It has nothing to do with "not liking" him. Never met the guy. Just think his obsession with 929 is weird and clouds what he does.

If Tubby was showing proof of some sort of upward trajectory I would be with you.

Winning 20 games and being on the bubble to the NIT is not a successful season at Memphis.

The season was exciting but it also was very frustrating with no relief in sight.

I'd imagine the blocking takes place because the dude is psychotic about going @ 929, Carson, Parrish, etc...over and over and over and over.

At some point you get tired of some idiot always putting you in their mentions.

He apparently hasn't blocked you yet.

Ok? Because I just don't randomly @ him when I am sending tweets. I might respond TO a tweet of his. That is acceptable but I don't just randomly @ him in my own tweets like he does to them.

Let's be clear. 2 things: First, this team has ZERO chance at an NIT bid. Too many free bids to conference winners who fail to win their respective conference tournaments. Second, 20 wins is a successful season THIS YEAR based on realistic expectations heading into the season. That said, I agree with you, if we were where we wanted the program to be, 20 wins would be craptastic.

Simply put, how have they overachieved?

Go through the schedule and explain where they got wins they weren't supposed to get and show losses where they weren't supposed to take them.

If you want to use RPI, Memphis is 3-9 vs. RPI top 100, which will be 2-9 when SMU drops their next game.

They beat Temple and Tulsa.

The losses to WSU, Cinci, LSU, Bama, and Ville are by a combined 99 points.

There you go not being honest again...

You know he said preseason expectations...But you bring up point spreads which have nothing to do with the preseason outside of the first few games.

I'm using that as one barometer.

Things change throughout the season.

I had Memphis winning 19/20 games and going 9-9 in the AAC.

Had Martin broken his leg in game six, I wouldn't hold the team to those expectations.

I didn't have Memphis winning @SMU in the preseason. However, because of the composition of the rosters at gametime, I thought Memphis should have won that game. That is why it's important to look at it both ways.

No one knew UCF was going to lose Taylor and Fall throughout the year, and anyone who would try to hold Dawkins to preseason expectations is a goof.

That's the point.

How can anyone who is reasonably educated not agree they have overachieved if they exceed the expectations? There is still time left in the season, so they could get hot or go cold, but if they finish above where they were predicted, by my understanding, they have exceeded expectations.

Simply put, how have they overachieved?

Go through the schedule and explain where they got wins they weren't supposed to get and show losses where they weren't supposed to take them.

If you want to use RPI, Memphis is 3-9 vs. RPI top 100, which will be 2-9 when SMU drops their next game.

They beat Temple and Tulsa.

The losses to WSU, Cinci, LSU, Bama, and Ville are by a combined 99 points.

In the simplest form......

Memphis was predicted to finish 9th. They probably will do better than predicted.

Memphis will win as many games as last year. Without 2 quitters named Lawson. And without Markel.

I am looking at the body of work, not an individual game. And judging the results versus the expectations "experts" and/or coaches had for this team before the season started. It's not a hard argument to follow.

If you look at his twitter feed far too many of his posts are about 92.9 and anyone associated with that station. WAY too much of his feed is just rambling about 92.9. He needs to pay them rent cause they live in his head.

He obsesses about them. Perhaps he's trying to make a name for his radio show, so he thinks by "punching up" he'll get recognition.

What's even more confusing is that by trying to contrast himself to 929, he has to entrench himself in the "everything is awesome" approach to the status of the program. Which, of course, is idiotic.

He also has to try to disparage previous teams to try to make this one appear successful, which is weird, too.

I think you and many other on this board need to pay Tubby rent because he lives in your heads. The posters need to come up with something new about Tubby. All we get every day is the same thing over and over. How many times can post that Tubby plays golf,Tubby is old and has to get his sleep, he is here only to retire,he is way over paid, he hasn't won anything since Ky and my favorite one is trying to name this next coach( Penny). Like you have a choice in it. Only time will tell if Tubby is fired or stays. The fans that have stopped buying season tickets to protest to get rid of Tubby have no say so about that. It is like not voting in a Presidential race. If you don't vote you don't have anything to complain about. They want the big donors to put up the money to buy out Tubby's contact but they won't even buy seasons tickets to help. I am through with this board for now. See you when football starts and next basketball season and if Tubby is our coach. I want be on it long because I have already read everything the posters are going to post. Go Tigers

That's the whole point.

This year, according to the vegas line, they have won three games in which they were underdogs: @Temple, @SMU, and @Tulane

I'll count Tulane but the facts the last minute DNP for their starting PG would have shifted the line. The more we know about SMU, the less of a surprise that is.

As for losing as favorites, Memphis lost to ECU and at vs. UCF.

Their three best wins are vs. Temple, NKU, and Tulsa.

Now that is closer to being “owned” and he does that to Jay on a regular basis Lol

But they are predicted to finish 9th based on expectations of other teams, too. Not in a vacuum.

So when UConn loses two players at the beginning of the season and another during the season, that affects THEIR placement, which affects Memphis'.

UCF loses Fall and Taylor and they drop games they aren't supposed to. That affects them and others.

When SMU was rolling along and then loses two players, then their best player, then have two other's limited, that affects THEIR standing, which affects Memphis.

Wait, I live in NJ and can’t go to their home games, so that means that I have no right in complaining? 01-wingedeagle

I was thinking about all the posts on Tubby. I have concluded that we don't have fans....we have critics.
