Conference envy.

The calling card of the scrappy runt.

Curious that a Memphis fan is so keen on our coaching search. Here's the skinny: we can hire anyone, or no one at all - and you'll still be Memphis, the little crime-ridden, cesspool of a city that not only couldn't, but hasn't and never will.

Lmao!!! :biggrin:

That's how this will turn out for you. I'll save you the suspense.

Youre correct. What he did at Tennessee was deserving. He made himself a commodity. Im referring to 2004 when he took the job at UTK. The program was down, recruiting is difficult, and tradition is reserved for football or womens basketball mainly. Today, minus the potential for sanctions still, the job is much better. Its still tough to recruit but he showed he can win. Thats a big deal. The fact is that most big time coaches arent going to accept a job that faces restrictions on what they must do to be successful: win.

As for you others, I expect nothing less than to trash the city and the "conference envy" thing. Our conference affiliation is something I cannot control but it is nice to win a conference on occasion.

Im not saying we will get a Calipari type hire like Kentucky, everyone knows thats unlikely, but that doesn't mean we wont get a good hire. There are some names being thrown around that actually sound like possibilities, and if we were to land any of them then our fan base will be happy. Still very early in the process, but they're working fast

Dont overvalue that job. It wasnt that good of job before Pearl and it is worse off now than then.

You are completely off base.

Pearl elevated the stature of this program on a national stage and proved you can actually win here. Sure he is a lying sack but he did a lot of good.

Hamilton is a bad AD but he has improved the facilities here and there is no denying it.

That is why it is a better job.

As a rule, I try not to argue with people like yourself - a veritable Aquaman swimming in an ocean of inferiority, awash in ignorance - believing that you'll only drag me down to your level of thought and beat me with experience.

That you have abandoned the defense of both our city and your "conference" not only further supports that truth, but exhibits your cowardice. Or, more succinctly stated, "typical Memphis fan".

I yield the rest of my time to the illiterate from deep eastern Arkansas.

Im glad someone over here can have a legitimate debate over the situation. Im curious as to how much money they want to throw around. It can be epic proportions but they might sandbag until the next coaching search.

Not enough to pull Pastner, as he is invaluable to us.

So long as he stays in Memphis.

Good luck recruiting in Memphis. Its been fun watching your staff leave pissed off. Even when he cheated, he still couldnt get a Memphis kid.

Do you realize that with Belmont's recent successes that Memphis is not even one of the Top 3 programs right now..........in Tennessee?

Maybe you should take it one small (and far more manageable) step at a time and troll some UTC or MTSU boards, instead?

You guys were so much fun to hate when you had that SATs don't matter d-bag for a coach. Now, kinda sad.

Stevens on PTI just now. Cornheiser took a jab at him saying something to the effect of that now that you said you're content at Butler, you better not be announced the coach at Tennessee in 48 hours. Then everyone laughed. Uggh.

You got the Memphis talent now, but Pastner hasn't proven he can coach. He can recruit, but in 3 years if he hasn't proven anything memphis talent might go elsewhere.

I laughed. Best thing youve ever written. But our RPI and close loss in the tourney puts us in the #2 spot for the state of TN. Thanks for playing though.

We were the 4th youngest team in the nation last season. Pastner managed to win the CUSA tourney, and fall one questionable call short of winning vs Zona in the NCAA tourney. We lose one player and gain a consensus top-10 recruit for next years class. Im excited. I cant wait to play yall (hopefully twice) next season.

The response I'd expect from Wright or Dixon after snickering would be something like, "Yeah, no". Then the next candidate would be called.

EDIT: That said, I'd do cartwheels for weeks if Jay Wright wanted to come to Tennessee.

Me too. I'd love to land Wright

What we've accomplished has been done without inroads into Memphis recruiting.

So, while that - the flimsiest of all arguments - may soothe the sobs of your beleagured inner child long enough to allow the Pabst to take hold, perhaps that's not the trump card you think it is.

At all.

Ordinarily, I would tell you to write your state reps to complain about this post, but as I can't recall their particular cell blocks at the moment, I should refrain. I don't want to just go mindlessly spewing out nonsensical tripe that I desperately wanted to believe was true (but clearly wasn't) for fear that someone may think we are somehow related. While such would be easily disproven as an impossibility, considering the lack of any sister / aunt / mother combos in my geneological chart, I'll just save everyone the trouble.

However, I would encourage you to check on the incarcerated status of your elected officials, which can easily be accessed via Google. I'd start skimming the links on Page 3, and search in earnest around page 10 or so.

We dont hide. The good thing about sucking in football is that youre never upset about losing and every game is a party, in the stadium.

Yeah, the whole 386 of you. Save for when UT comes into town for the easy win and turns Memphis orange.

I doubt that any Memphian has read any - much less all - of my writing. I would undoubtedly recall any work which called for either crayons or stick figures. So, I'm not sure how you've come to that conclusion, and will instead trust that you've followed the same well-worn path as the rest, by following stupidity until it intersected with abstract delusion and claimed squatter's rights. Which may not be all bad for you, as I am certain that this is well within walking distance to the Memphis campus.

If you have trouble finding it from there, just ask one of the homeless people along the way - or, as you call them "Alumni" - that is, if they're not too busy stuffing their socks with Memphis doctoral degrees for warmth (someone has to get some use of them, I suppose).
