My question is, if Memphis is far superior to us in basketball like their fans claim, why do they feel the need to come "prove" it to us Vol fans on a Vol message board?
I can't imagine a Vol fan posting on a Belmont board citing NCAA tourney records about how the Vols are clearly superior to Belmont. The only motivation for such behavior is insecurity. Insecurity in this case because Tennessee has owned Memphis for a number of years head to head, and insecurity because of Memphis' glaring lack of a signature win, combined with the growing realization that the team won't win CUSA, they won't make the NCAA tourney this year.
Or maybe it has something to do with the fact that Mr. Clean can't win with all the over-hyped recruits Memphis fans got their hopes up for during the absolutely embarrassing season they had last year.[/QUOTE]
Why should we be "embarrassed" by a 24-10 record on the heels of Calipari's scorched earth departure? The fact is, Memphis has had to basically restart the program from scratch. 40-16 to date considering the state of the program in April of 2009 (4 scholarship players), is remarkable. "Mr. Clean" will have us in the tournament in the next year while your team will be without it's coach, sitting at home on probation.
