Sure, the facilities are subpar and need improvement, but the reason a lot of kids won't even consider Memphis is it's a joke academically. <br /><br />I don't know many kids with strong grades and scores that would choose Memphis over an SEC school, simply because the academic experience at those schools will surpass what's found at Memphis. And it's not even close.Beauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14745697948358740526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102867.post-89601837034522876402009-11-10T15:53:55.293-06:002009-11-10T15:53:55.293-06:00If they ditched it, then CUSA would almost certain...If they ditched it, then CUSA would almost certainly ditch them. That would severely damage the basketball team which brings in a lot of money for them. So I doubt that'll happen. Your correct though Steve its probably just going to be more of the same. As far as coaches go, the rumor here in Florence is that Bowden will pretty much take the first job thats offered to him. The downside to Bowden is that he has had to battle the "Tic Price disease" in the past. Hugh Freeze is also desperate to get out of Jackson. He went a few months without a check during the summer b/c of Lambuth's problems. Word was, he was calling Kiffin and Saban looking for a job when that mess was going on. Mark Hudspeth who is on Mullen's staff at MSU would be a good hire as well. I think he's a star in the making. Either of those 3 would be a good hire imo. Tuberville's too arrogant to take the Memphis job. Fulmer would take it but they'd have to promise him a new stadium.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102867.post-27662091436960120612009-11-10T10:59:47.293-06:002009-11-10T10:59:47.293-06:00I "vote" for ditching the football progr...I "vote" for ditching the football program, one less distraction from the state-subsidized school's excuse for living: academic instruction.<br /><br />The less of this ritualized tribal warfare we waste attention and money on, the more competitive this city will be in the world economy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
