Title: They are really playing up the Memphis game tomorrow. Hardaway says it would be

a great start to getting them on the road back to respectability. Any of y'all worried about an upset?

Interesting how the tables have turned. I distinctly remember that coach who is now in Lexington saying that they were a "national program" who didn't need to schedule "regional schools" like UT. Now, they're slumming it in a 3rd rate conference and practically begging us to come help fill their building. :laugh:

Make no mistake, though- they'll get good again under Hardaway, if for no other reason than he'll start buying recruiting better players. They hired him straight out of AAU, and he has no prior college or pro coaching pedigree. So their intentions in hiring him are pretty transparent. :frown:

No. UT wins by 15ish. 

Memphis is small and young, and as great a player as he was, Penny has not been involved as a coach in this kind of game yet.  I like our chances with our veteran team and HOF level coach.

UT by 5 IMO. Closer than people are thinking. Would love to blow them out though.
