"We Belong In The SEC." Oh REALLY Memphis

Memphis Athletic Director: “We Belong In The SEC”

With conference realignment, there has been a lot of ridiculous self posturing over the past few months. But none is as out of touch with reality as the comments in the video above from the Memphis athletic director R.C. Johnson. Speaking about the Tigers’ future conference affiliation on local TV station WMCTV, Johnson said:

“We want to try to get ourselves in the best possible place. Ultimately we would like to be in the SEC. That’s where we think we belong geographically. We think we deserve to be.”

As you know in conference realignment, football is the only sport that matters. Currently, the Memphis Tigers are 1-5 after a 28-6 blowout loss to Rice and both Johnson and his head coach, Larry Porter, are on the hot seat with fans. Memphis would be lucky to get an invitation from the Big East…

Let them in so we can have someone other than Vandy to be our bitch in football every year.

Don't bet on that this year.

I agree I think that we are going to go 0 for the SEC this year.
