memphis didn't even play a top 25 team much less beat one!

Go screw yourself!! There is ABSOLUTELY no reason why a 6-5 team should be chosen over a 7-4 team, especially when one of your wins was against a I-AA school! If Deangelol Williams is so damn good, then why is Memphis 6-5?Originally Posted by tigers0830
you guys deserved a bid ... not sure why the love-affair with Conf USA football getting so many bids ... i dont think Memphis took your bid per say because there were also reports that the Liberty Bowl wanted to take hometown Memphis instead of Tulsa since my Bulldogs (Fresno St) have laid such an egg and taken away any drawing power or buzz, so Memphis may have been in a bidding war believe it or not
I am sure Memphis will be all over that next year. If that game would happen we would hear all the excuses like "we lost our best player." Memphis had to get USM into the bowl season. I hope you had fun losing to past WAC teams this year.Originally Posted by tigers0830

The real reason we are not in Detroit is fan support. La.Tech would have traveled between 500 and 1000 fans and that's simply not going to cut it considering the game is going to be played at Ford Field which I'm assuming is 60-70 thousand seat stadium. One can't assume that Akron will bring many either. Simply put, Akron vs La.Tech would have been the worst bowl of all considering WHERE the game is being played. Folks up there probably dont even know that Louisiana Tech exists.
First of all Memphis lost 5 games because of injuries. We lost our 2 best QB's to broken legs after in 3 games. So we had to use a wr to be our main qb. Next williams is better than any player yall can put on the field. If you take true running backs not all purpose backs..Deangelo is the best in the country straight up the only reason why bush get's all of the attentions is that he plays for usc...Akron won't kill memphis...Once again i'm sorry yall didn't get invited, but it's not our fault we did what we had to do...So if yall want to continue to cry about it go ahead, but your not going to get any sympathy from memphis....once again if yall want to play us get your ad to to call ours and set it up...I bet we won't say we don't have williams, because we know he's gone, but we have more weapons...
Would Memphis even be bowl eligible if you lost your 1st and 2nd string tailbacks instead of your quarterbacks?Originally Posted by tigers0830
Williams IS all you have.
Believe me, we don't want any sympathy from Memphis. Call us when you lose this bowl game. We could kicked Akron out of the stadium. Have a good time, though.Originally Posted by tigers0830
Dogtek,
WE TRAVEL WELL! We would have plenty of people in Detroit.
You won't get any sympathy about your injuries...every team has them. Secondly, it has been well-documented that your a.d. and administration is too cowardly to schedule us so I guess the matchup will probably never happen...especially as long as they are afraid to invite Tech into CUSA when the time comes.Originally Posted by tigers0830
13 teams with 6-5 records are going to bowl games. 7 of them are from non BCS conferences.
I've seen Memphis play 5 or 6 times this year and they are a terrible team and Deangelo Williams is a very small very overrated running back. But there are at least 6 other teams going to bowls that don't deserve it either.

I said Williams is the best senior runningback on this board but I still think he would get shut down by our defense. Let's match him up against Barry or Byron (not to mention Quin or Brannon). He wouldn't get two feet trying to go up the middle against Love or Muse. Our defense would give him fits all day and kill his draft stock just like we did Pinegar.Originally Posted by tigers0830
I am glad I got at least part of the Fresno game on tape. I'll watch it instead of a bowl game on New Year's weekend!
The ESPN selection show didn't even mention us getting left out after they adamantly stated that we should go to a bowl on Friday night. I was disappointed.
i don't want any sympathy for our injuries...akron will not blow memphis out i'm sorry....to the person who said denangelo is a small and overated back your just plain stupid...yea he's not very tall but he's strong and built like a brick definitely not overrated...quit yall's bitching and move on your not going to a bowl game get over it and there is not way yall would bring more people than memphis would so whatever i'll leave yall to yalls crying :bigcry:

I would love to see Memphis and the other coward of CUSA (Southern Miss) schedule us on a regular basis. Let's decide it on the field.
Go Zips and Indians!
