Memphis Commercial Appeal Article

[missjtiger]

actually...the reason the First 48 films alot in Memphis is because of one of the lead detectives. Tony is featured (A & E loves him) in almost every segment. He's pretty famous now and oh yea....he's a big tiger fan too ! Notice when they show him at his desk there is always a tiger poster there.

[BigDeal]

we own you in football...AND you can't even hire away Calipari.

UA is a TOTAL trainwreck.

Memphis is a  great city to live. Very rich culturally. If you can't appreciate that, its your loss.
I consider myself a Tiger BB fan. Having said that, the Football team is a joke and you know it. Don't even go there. Having said that, if Coach Nutt decides the leave the UA next year (due to a small number of very vocal unappreciative fans), I hope he can come to Memphis and coach. His recruiting ability and winning attitude can help turn that program around. Coach West just doesn't have what it takes to lead that team to the next level.

[CalRejectsHogs]

This is a better picture of Memphis.

nice try but isn't that the place where you live???

[HognotinMemphis]

Some people are naive to such a high degree, I can still be amazed by it. To think the any coach would say, "yeah, I'm interested and we're talking" while they are talking with each other is stupidity at its finest. Haven't you seen this dance before?

I'm not saying Calipari is going to go to Arkansas but when they say they are not interested, it does not always mean they are not interested.

[clemensrules01]

I think DMAC would have a good shot at beating the entire memphis team by himself.

I think memphis fans think they have a good basketball program after theyve had two good seasons against CUSA schools.

face it, your basketball and football programs suck. most of your fans are trash as evidenced by showing up on our boards to talk smack. your WNBA team, the grizzlies, are a disgrace to other WNBA franchises. there is hardly anything good about the u of memphis, academically or athletically. A couple of good seasons in basketball and a great RB on a sh$$$y football team does not change that.

go back to your message boards, little tigers. Arkansas is a real college.

hey dippy, people on this board made those. you're not very bright are you?

so you can't even stand your own coach!

must SUCK to be a pig!

You are so smart MemphisState. At least we've been at the top in SEVERAL sports.

Memphis State history = 0 titles in any sport. PROVE ME WRONG

[Porkestrator]

Sweet home Mempho

AHAHAHAHA

And tell those retarded Memphis headhunters to quit calling me. I will never work or live in Memphis... what a garbage can.

By the way... I was one of the many who NEVER wanted slimeball Crookipari.

You should ask yourself why he turned down the most prestigious coaching job in all of basketball...KENTUCKY.

The fact is he knows he couldn't hack the pressure of the SEC.

[mapdude]

How are the juices in Orange Mound?

Don't know....call your momma and ask her....

It's not their fault. Memphis State is proud of their heritage:
0....ZERO...ZIPPO...ZILCH... TITLES IN ANY SPORT (not even ping pong)

[WASAHAWG70]

Memphis may be a ghetto but they still got Graceland and they still got a coach, Arkansas has JFB and HDN!

[Porkestrator]

Thanks for playing.

Had to borrow this from one of the regulars on our board....

You asked for proof...

This shows clearly how Arkansas basketball has fallen apart and is now mid-major.

All that money. All that tradition. All those fans. Only problem- so few wins.

Oh, and you guys make fum of Memphis.....have any of you been to Pine Bluff recently?  That is a city I would really be proud of.....

[Porkestrator]

Memphis can't even afford their own facility.

They have to rent from the lowly Grizzlies...the doormat of the NBA. They lease it out to youguys because they don't make any money selling tickets.

[Porkestrator]

You forgot the title we had in 1994, Our football title, Our complete domination of Track, etc, etc.

Name 1 title you guys have ever one...just one.

EVER ...1 measely title. Where is it at...any sport....basket weaving even?

[wirebender25]

They won the car jacking championship in 1999.

[Porkestrator]

Wow Graceland, huh? That's a fine place.

[Thermonuclearpig]

LOL, orange mound...

try Chickasaw Gardens, maybe Galloway Gardens, Germantown, the South Bluffs, Harbor Town...

downtown Memphis: oh, the horror

THIS IS SO SAD!!! I LIVED IN MEMPHO FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND THE RIVERFRONT NEVER LOOKED THIS DOCTORED UP, OR GOOD! THIS PHOTO MUST HAVE CAME FROM THEIR TOURIST BOOTH FROM THE AIRPORT. SO SAD WHEN YOU HAVE TO DOCTOR UP A PHOTO TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE SOMETHING OTHER THAN A GHETTO WAR ZONE...ISN'T FRAYSER JUST TO THE RIGHT AND A BLOCK DOWN FROM THIS? GERMANTOWN, ETC. ARE ALL FINE BUT THEY REFUSE TO BE A PART OF MEMPHIS..SO TECHNICALLY THEY AIN'T.  HOWEVER, WE HAVE MANY PLACES IN ARKANSAS THAT DO NOT NEED A PHOTO FACE LIFT TO SHOW THE NATURAL BEAUTY AS IT IS, WITHOUT THE BULLET HOLES. 
CAPILARI CAN CONTINUE TO STAY AT A MARGINAL CITY COLLEGE, IN A MARGINAL SOUTHERN CITY GONE GHETTO, AND PLAY IN A VERY MARGINAL CONFERENCE AND REAP THE MARGINAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT HE WILL EVER ACHIEVE. THE ONLY THING GOOD ABOUT MEMPHO IS NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI.

[Porkestrator]

I'll admit, the last ten years have been hard times for us. We have Nolan to thank for that.

You guys have absolutely no tradition... in any sport.

[Porkestrator]

They won the car jacking championship in 1999.

Classic answer!

First making "Fum" of you is pretty easy and Secondly why on earth would you compare Memphis to Pine Bluff? Are you that ignorant? OK I will let everyone continue to make "Fum" of you.

[TNPIG]

It's great coming on here and watching the posters of this board go to Texags.com, talk trash to them because their coach is going to leave them for Arkansas, then watch the same posters eat crow. Now you guys go and talk trash on a Memphis board saying that Cal is coming to Arkansas, now all you can do is talk trash about the city of Memphis, and oh by the way....everyone hates Cal again. When are the Coach K rumors going to begin? I guess I'll check back next week for when you guys start talking trash to the mighty fans of Creighton. Hopefully, this coaching search will give all of you that big drink of reality that everyone on here needs. It is funny though!

You mean, fummy, don't you? "It is fummy though".  Memphis and A&M have never done jack.  Arkansas compared to that crap is like talking about ice cream compared to darn.

[Porkestrator]

Don't worry Memphy State. There are a lot of 3rd tier teams that have never won an NCAA basketball championship.

[Porkestrator]

Here's another for you delusional Memphis State nuts:

Arkansas Accomplishments
National Championship
1 National Runner Up
Six Final Four appearances
Nine appearances in the Elite Eight
14 appearances in the Sweet 16
27 NCAA Tournament bids
39 NCAA Tournament victories
24 postseason tournament appearances since 1977
92 first-team all-conference selections
Named the eighth-greatest college basketball program of all-time by Street & Smith's Annuals in 2005

[Porkestrator]

Thanks for playing.

I state again. I never wanted Calipari. I would never want a coach that turned down Kentucky because he couldn't handle the pressure that comes with an elite SEC team. Plus he's as slimy as they come.

You mean, fummy, don't you? "It is fummy though".  Memphis and A&M have never done jack.  Arkansas compared to that crap is like talking about ice cream compared to crap.

I guess JFB should have used your "ice cream to crap" line before he got turned down by both coaches.

[Blue35]

Where is hell did all of these Memphis state people come from and why are they going crazy on this board. Speaks volumes about their character.  They are acting like nosey neighbors who have overstayed their welcome. They have absolutely no vested interest in the search for a Razorback basketball coach and quite simply it is none of their business.  Memphis state is a mid major in a second rate basketball conference in a very dirty, corrupt, rat infested, thug  run, nasty river town. I have never visited any of their messages boards and have no reason to do so. I wouldn't bother. It would serve no purpose.  The moderator should ban all of these  pimps from this board.  They contribute nothing.

[Valerie]

I have been reading this board for days BUT I live in NWA, I'm a RAZORBACK fan AND I love Arkansas!  What I have not done is go to some stupid Memphis website or some even more stupid Aggie website to spew crap about you and your team...so from a fan what usually keeps her mouth shut GO HOME!!!

[HognotinMemphis]

Children.

Just to add some facts to the conversation.

This doesn't show info for Northwest Arkansas but it is interesting.
