The whole premise of this thread is absurd. Comparing teams based on a result from a decade ago is nonsense. Memphis stinks this year. They're amidst a coaching disaster. Anything less than a convincing win would be a disaster for Fulmer et al.

Yeah I agree that the team probably is in more danger of gettin bus jacked and beat up than lose a ball game here. However coach Tommy West will have them ready to hit, and he's also a little radical, or used to be. I would'nt be a bit suprised to see him use a 3-4 or even a 6-2 stack defense.

Speaking of that call on the kickoff return. I can still see that play in my head just like it was last week and I have a question. It looked to me like the only part of the guy's anatomy to touch the ground other than his feet was his elbow. And after I watched the replay, I'm not sure it touched either. It looked like the guy defied gravity. My question: If the ball carrier's elbow touches the ground is it the same as a knee? Is he down or does the play continue? This is a serious question.

I have a friend who is an NCAA football referee and asked him that specific question. He said the call was blown because if any part of your body touches the ground other than the soles of you feet or palm of your hand then the playeer is deemed to be down by contact. Sorry jaybird, you're wrong....

Maybe, but for you people that think it's absurb that a Tennessee team could ever lose to a Memphis or Kentucky, or heaven forbid, VANDERBILT, I suggest you stick to the threads like how many stripes should be on the jersey pants or "vote for Smokey for the best mascot" and other feel-good exercises.

MY point is that we never have an easy time with Memphis even when they are not good. Remember last year; they played without D. Williams and we struggled to win and 1999 we had to have long pass from Tee to Bobby Graham to salvage a 17-16 win.

True. Can't argue with that...
