Since the rebellious black bears are playing their neighbor to the North on Saturday this is an opportune time to remember Memphis AD R.C. Johnson declaring in 2011 that Memphis belonged in and deserved to be in the SEC

They are better sports wise then the SEC cellar dwellers. It is the commuter aspect of the school that keeps them from being SEC quality

If they were allowed in the SEC and had significant facility upgrades, they could be a huge threat. They'd go toe to toe with Kentucky in basketball. If they could build a fence around Memphis and East Tennessee recruiting, they could probably become a quality football team as well.

That said, I don't want a third Tennessee team. I'd rather Louisville.

We gave them our fat, program destroying DT with a 0.0gpa. Albert Means even got special permission to play right away (as if Alabama's recruiting transgressions somehow resulted in failing every single subject.)

What more do they want?

Memphis/UCF/Tulane/SMU should join the Big 12.

Honestly they are the perfect Big 12 expansion team. It would get WVU off of an island.

If Memphis was in the SEC Ole Miss would never win another football Natty or conference championship.

Ole Miss is the only Memphis school that needs to be in the SEC

Well sure. Let's also bring in Louisville, Cincy, USM......we could rename the conference the "Metro" conference.

Oh. Wait. That's been done before. I' sure it would have tremendous nostalgic value for USCe.

Memphis doesn't even own it's own fricking city. Ole Miss then Tennessee with Memphis coming in at number 3.
