Quote:Good smack my friend--I appreciate it when someone can be ugly back but not resort to name calling. I didn't think Char fans were that smart--you are obviously the exception.
To you as well sir.
Quote:I don't think we are elite by far.
See, we agree on something.
Quote:But we have the potential to be--can you say that? (you can, but you would be lying)
Actually, I wouldn't be. I fully believe we have the potential to be an elite program, but if it will happen I can't say.
I think it comes down to your standard of "elite." If the standard is Duke, The holes, UConn etc. I think both of us have a long way to go. A few good seasons doesn't make a team elite in my opinion. It's sustained success over years and years, something neither of our teams can boast, so your arrogance on the subject is rather laughable.
Quote:Do you think there is more national interest in char or Memphis--
The answer there is easy. Most people don't even know who you are. despote the fact that you wanna slam our new conf--UTEP,Marshall, TULSA, and USM have been in and out of the top 25 in football and bring credibility to a conf. And I know you hate it that I bring up football since ya'll don't play. But that is a fact, that the all sports conf get more pub. Sorry--
Jay Bilas, Andy Katz, Seth Davis, the selection commt., the AP voters, the Coaches poll voters all know who we are. There may be many who don't know who we are, but the ones that count do.
Quote:I honestly doubt most people could name all the schools in the A-10.
YOu really think Rice, Tulsa, UTEP, SMU and UCF are household names? If so your dellusions surpass just your program and extend to them as well.
Quote:We are down by our standards in basketball. ya'll beat us up there and act like you won the !@#$ championship. We lost and are allready moving on.
Yeah you can tell. I mean there are no conversations going on about us here or on your main board are there?:rolleyes:
We act like we won the national championship? LOL!! That's a good one. Beating you was expected thus it's not that big a deal. The only reason we're enjoying it more than other teams is because of your fans. Seeing you all self destruct is great entertainment.
Quote:How many national television games do you have? I bet WE HAVE HAD MORE THIS YEAR ALONE THAN YOU HAVE IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF YOUR SAD LITTLE PROGRAM.
First, I'll bet you $1000 dollars you are wrong. Put up or shut up.
Two, yeah you all have been on Natl. TV. 4 of which you owe to being in a preseason tournament. And then there is that stellar record on natl tv you have. 5-7 I believe?
Congrats on being on TV, big freakin deal you lost 7 times on it. There were high expectations for your program this year. As evidenced by your record, those expectations where misplaced.
Quote:So riddle me this--if we are soo overrated, and underachieving, how come everyone knows who we are? Why do we garner so much national attention? because people care about us--and not you.
Saying everyone knows who you are would be a stretch. You garner national attention because of your coach. Take him away and you lose ground significantly.
Quote:As for your futile attempts to chastise me with the ol "ut" garbage--you obviously don't live in west TN.
Clearly. I have all my teeth and I'm not married to my cousin.
Quote:The ignorant and uninformed aren't sure what they are--Ole Miss--Tn-Bama--bandwagon jumpers that could not find a college campus with a GPS.
We have that in common. You've just described the majority of ACC fans around here.
Quote:Most of the "SEC" football fans here claim an allegiance to Tiger basketball--much to the dismay of the Tiger nation. we don't want them. If I had a dollar for every time I heard somne !@# clown say " I am a UT football fan and Tiger basketball fan--
Can you say that about any program in your state? No--
And this is something I'm supposed to feel bad about? Yeah ok. You know how many losers around here cheer for tarhole or Duke hoops but claim to be Fl. St or SEC football fans? But I can gurantee you one thing, no one here claims to be a tiger football fan, unless it's Clemson.
Quote:Char is like a flea on a dogs behind--annoying, but soon to be forgotten with the rest of life's less meaningful moments.
I'm sure you'd like to forget us as soon as possible, especially given we've been more successful and done more for C-USA than you have. Oh, and we beat you this past Wednesday ending your NCAA hopes and solidifying your place in the Memphis Tournament of Also Rans aka the NIT.
Keep that misplaced sense of superiority handy. You'll need it.
