Memphis St Tigers>Tennessee Vols?

[EastTNVol6240]

Here’s the playoff field, for now​

First and foremost, this would be the 12-team playoff field if the postseason were to begin tomorrow, starting with the 12th seed: Memphis, Virginia, Notre Dame, Oregon, Texas Tech, BYU, Ole Miss, Georgia, Alabama, Texas A&M, Indiana and Ohio State

Who would have ever thunk it?

Neyland Stadium 102.455 fan capacity
Memphis Stadium 59,000.

You gotta win games that matter if you want in. We haven’t done that.

UAB is one of the worst teams in the country, Memphis sucks and always has....they are trash and Tennessee would beat them by 50

doubt it - -

You can bleed orange and still see that Vandy and Memphis are both possibly better teams than the Vols this season. We will find out versus Vandy.

There is absolutely nothing that shows Memphis st is better than UT. The vandy claim is highly questionable

 

[utchs81]

Clearly they have played a comparable schedule

Your desire to take shots at UT is forcing you into making idiotic claims about Memphis St. Get that checked out

How was citing factual truths taking shots at anybody. Your sophomoric attempts at degrading Memphis by calling them Memphis St is what needs checking out. Why all the contempt for a school that has never been on the same playing field as UT is beyond my understanding. Really surprised by the like from an equally sophomoric RickyVoll as well.

Saying they deserve it as much as UT least year is not a "factual truth."

They're Memphis State and there are more sports than just football. I don't recognize their attempt to pretty it up

Go watch a UT game in Memphis and you’ll figure it out very quickly. Their fans take at least 10X more joy from a UT loss than a Memphis win.

I can NEVER recall a season in my 50+ years of fandom as a Vol where I would not swap Memphis for about 9 teams on our schedule every year! It’s that simple. If Arkansas (worst team in SEC) had not SOMEHOW fumbled inside the 10 yard line to kick a game winning field goal….Memphis would not even be in the discussion. Let’s compare apples to apples here . And btw I NEVER want Vols to schedule Memphis in any sport!

If Memphis isn't better than UAB how do you think they are better than the Vols? This is contrarian nonsense

 

[Tnphil]

Are you the one telling everyone less than 2 weeks ago Tennessee was a playoff team?

I said if Tennessee went 10-2 they would make the playoff, and that was 100% true...

Some posters were saying we had no chance at 10-2 and obviously that was ridiculous

Let me guess you think the Tiggers are a better team too?

You would be wrong...But I have no doubt it would be a close game if we played Memphis. And Tennessee wasn't a playoff team before the season began...or since.

You yourself said that Tennessee wouldn't make the playoffs at 10-2 but its obviously clear we would have...we would be a top 10 team in the playoff rankings

 

[Good Ol' Charlie Brown]

Vandy and Memphis both making the playoffs over Tennessee would be an intriguing scenario. Of course Vandy would have to beat TN head-to-head to get in. Which would mean they are the better team and more deserving.

But they won't, so don't worry your little self about it

 

[gm1ll]

I remember Memphis “ destroying “ us once upon a time and that was a 10-2 Vols team.

Lol...I knew UT was going to finish 10-2. Have fun at the Who Cares Bowl...

I was there in Memphis that day...And we had a much better team than we do this year.

I told a neighbor who is a big Tiger supporter (season tix, travels to all road games etc) UAB was the second worst team to play in Neyland this year so far and might be the worse ( ). He said..."oh they're much better now after firing the coach". How ANY team gets into a national playoff after losing to UAB this year is ....well....ridiculous.

As was I. Only time I’ve ever booed at the Vols. Totally piss poor performance.

Yes that fluke 4 point win where the refs gave them a TD by missing a call.

Tiggers are 1-22 vs us for a reason.

They suck, the program sucks, the players suck, the coach sucks and the cesspool city suck

There is no football program in the state better than Tennessee

 

[Good Ol' Charlie Brown]

Yeah f*** no. Hoodlums can't beat the Big Orange, the Bright Light of the South. (I can say that, from Memphis).

Not a real fan if you boo at your own squard

Memphis as a culture, city and sports program is trash...

Go to the Tigger's board and brag about losing to UAB there if you don't like it

 

[VFL-82-JP]

Memphis State is a catfish fighting other catfish in a pond. They're a really good catfish this year. That's super for them.

If Memphis State were to be transplanted into the ocean, they would quickly find themselves on the menu of just about every fish in their new home.

Always avoid typing the shorthand, "Memphis > Tennessee". It's ignorant.

Go Vols!

 

[OrangeScare]

It will always be Tiger High to me!
