Right, the general theme is Penny has performed very well to date, the future looks promising (although success is not assured), and Tiger prosperity is good for our league.

Success is not assured but yet this thread’s focus is on Memphis being the next Kentucky.

See the disconnect here?

This is a messageboard. Opinions vary. You act like Memphis fans are the only ones that think we’re gonna be good in the near future. Here’s an example of someone who isn’t a Memphis fan that sees the potential as well. A lot of people see it, thus all of the attention in the media.

Lomax to Memphis wasn’t guaranteed either. Shall we dig up your prediction from that thread? Too soon?

The connection is under the “future looks promising” category. The operative word used by Bell is “this is going” (ie, the future).

Your defensiveness, your constant following me around and hanging on my jewels, and your irrelevant little potshot all point to the fact that you are extremely rattled and I’m pretty entrenched in your brain.

Keep on keepin’ on

P.S. For those unfamiliar with Bell, he played 13 years in the NBA, and is currently Director of Player Administration for the Cleveland Cavs.

Definitely clicked on this link ready to fight somebody, then realized it was basketball.

Well, if Memphis doesn't produce an annual crop of one-and-dones like UK, at least the holdovers won't have any problems maintaining grades in such a non-challenging academic environment.

Lay off the hypocritical juice, bub.

And you’re still posting in it.

I guess you sure showed that block list who’s boss.

This is what I love about this league. We can, and usually do get on each others collective @sses with our little back n forths regarding our other conference mates good or bad posts, but let someone from G4 conference come in here and start some chit about one of our schools, we band together like a mama watching over her babies. Yep, love this league, P6 baby!

Not saying its gonna happen but not impossible either. It's not like there's a juggernaut team next year.

It's also not impossible for USF to win the national title next year.

Sorry. Was thinking conference championship.

Yah I don't see it, but I'm all for a conference mate receiving praise from the media. A rising tide lifts all boats.

Definitely lost some games under Pastner, but we had a 4 year stretch with Cal where we only lost 1 game in conference. The competition is better in the American so it might be next to impossible to achieve that feat.

Our best teams came close to losing games in C-USA (the nail biting wins over Tulsa and UAB immediately comes to mind) and it is virtually impossible to go undefeated in the AAC. Those days are over.

Lmao. No kidding.

Penny hasn’t even set foot on the floor yet and this crap is constantly being flung around. Of course, Memphis fan tries to justify it by some “it’s good for the conference, not my problem” crap.

And you guys thought WSU fans were bad last year. This stuff is nauseating.

So its not good for the conference and you are not riled up by this crap that keeps happening. Got it!
