If Penny was 50 Cents, he would only be worth a quarter

Yes, beat FSU to win the ACCT

Josh Pastner = ACC champ NCAA tourney> Penney Hardaway NIT

Is that trickle down economics, basketball category?

Penny can recruit, motivating and coaching might be a bit more of a challenge for him, Arkansas and Ole Miss have the opportunity to recruit well in Memphis and from time the Memphis kids will roll out to a random place like Duke, Georgia Tech or Colorado, the nature of that conference they play in requires a stellar season or it is NIT only

Would like to see Ole Miss pound Memphis in the finals.

I feel totally nothing about Memphis either way. They just aren’t on my radar. I have several close friends and golfing partners who played for Memphis. They know the Vols are THE state university. I think my apathy toward them bothers them more than anything. I don’t do it to bother them...it’s just that way. Last week one tried to convince me Penny would win in a big way once he got the program established. Tried to compare him to Rick Barnes. That’s when I told him he was insulting my intelligence. When he pulled the stunt of playing a NCAA declared ineligible player openly spoke volumes about his abilities to reason competently. Most Tiger fans I know could not believe he did that. But anyway...GO VOLS!!!

Apparently Twitter hates Memphis lol

So Duke couldnt even make the NIT? I swear if they get put into the tourney because of COVID.

They said they wouldn't accept a bid before they announced the teams; as did Louisville, Seton Hall, Xavier, and St. John's.

I can’t believe Belmont isn’t playing in the NCAA tourney and now not even the NIT.

Memphis will have NIT Champions 2021 bumper stickers if they happen to win it.

And, of course, a companion sticker.

Lots of great quotes from the movie "Casablanca." Interesting that this one comes to mind:

Ugarte: “You despise me, don’t you?”​

​

Rick: "If I gave you any thought, I probably would.”​

Memphis SMH. They’d cut off their nose to spite their face. They need a good rivalry w Tennessee but can’t help having a complex about it. Sad

Agreed, we lived in the suburbs of Memphis for years, they have an inferiority complex when it comes to UT dating back to the Dana Kirk days and the old Metro Conference. Tiger High tried to follow Louisville and really wanted in the ACC and then the SEC . . . could you imagine Penny having to play an ACC schedule or an SEC schedule where everyone beats the crap out of each other every year! He would be melting down multiple times per week!!! LOL

GBO

They had a parade the last time they won the NIT....

Gotta love the tiger fans getting to watch Pastner coach GT in the NCAAT and the cats fans getting to watch Pitino coach Iona.

I was just happy for Josh Pastner. A good man who got caught up in a bad situation. Wrong place at the wrong time with Memphis. Most would not have turned down that job for their first gig so I don't blame here for that. And Cal told him he'd better take the job because he wasnt coming to Kentucky with him.....Thankfully he was able to get out alive and go to a great school. Hope he does well for his sake.

How about Vandy watching Bryce Drew take Grand Canyon Valley State (or whatever it’s called) to the tournament...?

 

[cardvolfan]

Penny has to be on the hotseat going into 2021-2022.

They’re actually negotiating 5 more years to be added on to the latest 5 years negotiated 3 months ago.

Josh Pastner = ACC champ NCAA tourney> Penney Hardaway NIT

According to many on our board, that makes Pastner > Barnes.

No, they will be patient. He inherited a bit of a mess, and they are much closer to the tournament now than they have been in the last 6 years under Pastner and Tubby.

I didn’t realize that until you pointed it out but many thanks for doing so! To me that is actually better than the butthurt Memphis and UK fans combined !
