I've seen Tennessee fans several times offer to give memphis to mississippi. I'll gladly take it.

Depends on whether or not they're joking. Most of the people I know might make that as a joke (none as a serious statement) but some out there really do hate Memphis and they're only partially joking.

To give you a little more context... One of the reasons it's a running joke is that the upper tip of East, Tennessee is closer to Canada (not kidding) than it is to Memphis.
