Tennessee vs Memphis deemed "The Showdown" by ESPN.

[volfan2024]

Heard this on ESPN last night. Promoting the game already.

 

[volfan55]

Should be called "Rumble on the River" or "River City Rumble"

 

[stevenharvey11]

Should be called "we're coming to memphis to kick your @ss!"

 

[Cincy Vol o5]

Byah!

 

[getyopopcornready]

Should be called "we're coming to memphis to kick your @ss!"

[volfan55]

Should be called "we're coming to memphis to kick your @ss!"

hahahaha...good one...never heard that before

 

[stevenharvey11]

doubt it. come on now, we are tennessee. espn has no love for us. we are on upset watch every week so i wouldnt be suprised to see the "experts" say we will lose by 20.

 

[VolsRule]

Mark it down---UT upsets Memphis!

 

[utstu]

what a bold, shocking prediction

 

[Cincy Vol o5]

ABC (owned by ESPN) is already talking about it as well.

just because I'm obsessive compulsive about things like this: ESPN does not own ABC. ABC bought 80% of the rights to ESPN and was later bought out by Disney. Disney kept the 80% and the other 20% is owned by William Hearst's media corporation.

Byah!

BYAAAAAH!

nothing personal Cincy. Just paid attention too much in my Broadcast History class I guess.

 

[Cincy Vol o5]

No, I didn't take it personal, it made me laugh about the stunning detail you had. Very nice.

well now you know a completely random, useless fact! Very few people realize Hearst still owns part of ESPN. I'm sure that will come in handy at some point in your life.

If memphis :superman: is still unbeaten at that time , th "experts" will probably be picking TN. to win ! That will draw more viewers than telling people to tune in to watch #1 against #5 , because most people if they dont pull for either team want to see the underdog win and espn plays that card a lot ! :whistling:

 

[NEW COACH]

How many pics are in you're arsenal, CINCY? :whistling:

 

[Cincy Vol o5]

Millions

 

[NEW COACH]

oooooooo, he's good :clap:

 

[TIGER DEN]

going to be a FANtastic game

 

[volmanbill]

going to be a FANtastic game

Hopefully the game will = the hype.

 

[TIGER DEN]

Hopefully the game will = the hype.

:hi: Hey Bill , you doing alright, I hope so ! Man ya'll eeked one out today . that's what a good team does though

 

[B-Stizzy]

i think the Vols have a great chance in M-town, but Memphis comes with the same(if not better) athleticism as UT...hopefully crews will be 100% going into the game for the added depth we'll need..he still seems a little sluggish and rightfully so...hopefully the shots will fall though, unlike tonight...
