Nichols committed to Memphis?

I guess his big announcement on ESPN is now anti-climatic. Sad news indeed.

UT has the series record, that is true. A lot of other factors are in Memphis' favor, and you can't deny that.

As for me being a bandwagon fan, I root for Memphis and Miami in all sports, including Memphis football and Miami basketball. I must be the dumbest "bandwagon fan" out there for picking those allegiances.

I root for both schools because I graduated from both schools. If being an alum makes me a bandwagon fan, then guilty as charged,

C'mon guys Memphis is the logical choice here...
Family is here
Better tradition
Better facilities
It's like telling a kid from Knoxville who plays football to choose between Memphis or Tennessee, what choice would you think that kid would make?

I am confused. Are you a Vols fan? Can you not understand why UT fans are dissapointed? Sure, it might be the logical choice for the kid, but there are gonna be some disappointed people on this board when all indications were he was coming to ktown.

He's a Vol fan if he goes to the board three up from this one. Here, no.

Peer pressure. Would take a strong willed kid to buck the tide.
One reason the Stokes signing was so humongous.
Wish AN all the best.

Better facilities? Other than FedEx Forum, is that true? I have never been to either, but I have heard Parrish say that there are far better facilities than the Finch Center.

This is definitely a surprise. As always, Momma won out.

It happens.. By the way guys I always pull for the Vols, just not against Memphis in basketball.. Sorry. I know it's a disappointment but let it go instead of trashing Memphis

This I respect. Most UT football fans/UM, UK, UNC, Duke basketball are just front runners.

Not the same thing but I get what you're trying to say.

I'm floored that he didn't pick Tennessee, but even more shocked that he picked Memphis. Despite Memphis being his hometown, I didn't think he would choose the Tigers. Perhaps his family pressured him into it? Either way, he's a solid player and I hope he does well for the Tigers.

I agree. I'm more shocked that he picked Memphis as opposed to not picking us.

Dude, lighten up. I grew up a Memphis fan, too, but don't act like that.

It shocks me too. Most Vol fans have a right to be surprised. Give it up.
