The University of Memphis and Middle Tennessee State, two football programs who have not played since 1954, will resume their series beginning in 2007.

Johnson also said the Tigers will resume another Mid-South series, bringing back Arkansas State. ASU is not on the 2005 Memphis schedule, but the Indians and Tigers played in 2000, 2003 and 2004 and throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Memphis leads the series, 27-20-5.

Most played series in ASU history. Third most played for Memphis (just behind Ole Miss and Southern Miss).

Especially sweet for me. I was in a big war on the Memphis board earlier in the summer where they were saying the only way ASU and Memphis would play again would be if it were Memphis only, or a 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 series and I let them know Dean Lee wouldn't sign a contract with them unless it was home/home (of course it helped that I already knew we were close to signing this deal laugh.gif )

Good greif,they sign series with sun belt teams,and act like its the end of the world. Were they this bad when they were on our forum leading up to the New Orleans Bowl?

Traditionally Memphis hasn't had too much to brag about football-wise. 2003 was their first bowl team in like 30 years, a second bowl worthy team last year and now their fans feel slighted not to be in the BCS.

Their running back Deangleo Williams is getting some Heisman talk, but he only came back for his senior season this year because his NFL draft stock dropped due to two consecutive years with season ending injuries. He's been tabbed "injury prone". Time will tell if he's durable enough to finish an entire NCAA season let alone a NFL one.

      If this isn’t a sellout…

      If this isn’t a sellout, then we may never sellout DATCU. We’re having a great season. Exciting offense with star QB. Record enrollment. Playing a BRAND NAME school with huge following that is nationally ranked. I, personally, bought 13 tickets and invited friends. Will be disappointed if this isn’t a sellout.

      WBB at Oregon (11/12/24)

      The 2-0 ladies deserve a game thread. After taking care of business against two D1 opponents this week, they travel to Eugene to play an Oregon Ducks team in what should be a winnable game. The Lady Ducks are 2-0 after wins over California Baptist and Nevada, but are coming off a season in which they finished last in the Pac-12 at 11-21, 2-16 and lost in the conference tournament to Colorado, 79-30. After SFA transfer Kyla Deck led the way against Alcorn State with 27 points, the ladies used a much more balanced effort yesterday to beat Texas Southern. Four were in double figures: Moore with 20, Wooten with 16, Hardaway with 15, and Lampkin with 11. The ladies play at a fast pace but still are too sloppy with the ball from what I picked up yesterday. This will be a great opportunity for a win against a power conference opponent.

      Morris Weekly Press Conference (11/05/24)

      Yes he did. It would be assisting to not acknowledge it. But notice he also said the result wasn’t satisfactory “the last couple of weeks.” It has been two years.

      Prediction vs Army

      ESPN line is down to Army -3. I wonder if this is based on any knowledge of their QB1 being out for the game?
