The Cotton Bowl: #17 Memphis (12-1) v #10 Penn St (10-2) (ESPN, 12PM ET)

I hope Penn. St beats Memphis by 30

Cat fight in Texas!

I know, I know... this ain't the Vols. But I'm curious as to who everyone is pulling for.

Memphis is a home-state team. They have out-performed the Vols lately. Do we pull for them based on the Tennessee connection?

Penn State is a Big Whatever team coached by the former Vandy coach that gave the Vols fits. That's two strikes automatically.

What say ye?

Go Tiger High!

I'm a Tennessean so will always pull for a state school to whip a non-state school's arse. Anyone lacking that type of loyalty is a freaking Tory rooting for German mercenary troops.

 

[BigOrangeAl 1979]

Pulling for Penn. St I hate Memphis

 

[onevol74]

Did you say Memphis and Penn State? Anyone have a meteor forecast for today?

 

[MAD]

Cat fight in Texas!

I see what you did there.
Go Tigers, Beat the Nitty Lions.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Ugh I’m torn when Penn State plays. On one hand, my husband is an alum and I love him. On the other this is pedophile state university with fans and staff who still refuse to take responsibility.
I think my antipathy for them wins out

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

No idea how I posted twice

 

[VolGirl1126]

Hate Penn State. Gotta pull for Memphis.

 

[UTwild82]

I think Memphis gets the upset

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Go Tigers Go!

I hear what you’re saying, but I disliked PSU before all that. Plus add James Franklin to the mix and they are in my top 2 or 3 disliked schools to root against.

 

[Raebo]

Big 10 think they are almost as good as the SEC. Go Memphis.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Didn’t realize Penn State lost their OC

And also Memphis hasn’t outperformed anyone. They play a weak ass schedule

 

[Paper_Towel]

RIP Memphis' defence

Honestly, I wasn’t a huge fan of football until I went to college, the atmosphere really changed my tune. It coincided with the Sandusky scandal happening so I didn’t know Penn State at all before that.
I know some wonderful people from that university now that I live in PA and married an alum, but many still refuse to accept any responsibility or wrong doing at all which ticks me off to no end.

 

[BigOrangeAl 1979]

Memphis D is trash and they play nobody during the season

 

[JCHateSteve]

They were always easy to hate. When you add the pedo thing and Franklin's highly punchable face, it's like they want me to despise them.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

This is turning into a good game

 

[Rickyvol77]

Memphis D is trash and they play nobody during the season

Exactly just like Boise st shows every years. Midmajors are bragged about as being “great” because of their record when they play 1 major team with a pulse and get slaughtered.

Tulsa and Temple dominated Memphis for gods sake

That’s dumb. I’m loyal to OUR school. You cheer for Vandy to win all their games except UT? Any non UT school in Tennessee can kick rocks
