Memphis scared of TN

[CardassianVol]

We get why Tennessee would want to play Memphis.

And most who think that have an overly self-important view of Memphis in general.

If Tennessee didn't play Memphis, would a Memphis high school recruit not be aware of Tennessee's existence? Is it REALLY a deal breaker? This argument is so dumb. Pastner has a point, but it's absolutely miniscule.

That's only part of his point, I think. The main reason that he and Cal didn't want the game is the trip to Kville. Places that Memphis has played away/neutral OOC games the last few seasons:

New York City, NY.
Spokane, WA.
St. Louis, MO.
Boston, MA.
Little Rock, AR.
Syracuse, NY.
Washington DC
Cincinnati, OH

Knoxville, TN

The UT game is pretty much the only one that doesn't get him into a metro area or into a region that he's not normally in (Spokane, Syracuse)

I'm all for the game, especially post-Pearl, but I can see where a recruiting-minded head coach would not be.
