You don’t get a good feeling about the day when your hotel elevator is out of service and you’re on the fifth floor and it’s a cold rain out. We are a cold weather team though and will kick the tigers back to the Memphis Zoo!!

Almost bumped the thread from 2017 since this felt very deja vu, but after some thought it seemed like a ban worthy offense. Hopefully we can get another W.

This made me chuckle. A post from one of the many betting "experts on the internet-

"Memphis will be at home for the Liberty Bowl. The Tigers compiled a 9-3 record during the regular season, losing only to Missouri, Tulane and SMU. They boast an explosive offense, averaging a 7th-best 39.7 points per game and a 25th-best 459.6 yards yards per contest. Their top-25 offense is led by quarterback Seth Henigan, who will be under center on Friday. In fact, Memphis has almost all of its skill players at its disposal. It is true that Memphis’ defense stinks, but Iowa State may not be able to take full advantage. The Cyclones are scoring just 26.3 ppg on 363.6 ypg. Running backs El Sanders and Cartevious Norton have both entered the transfer portal, too. With home-field advantage, the Tigers should be able to cover a lofty spread"

Curb stomp the kitties!

Of the top of my head, Tampa is opting out (good for him) and Verdon is still out with injury. Those two out at the same time will definitely hurt.

Who are maybe some of the players the Tigers might not have available? I heard about Scates, and their #2 QB. Anybody else noteworthy? Did Scates have a good year for them at WR?
Two of their best O linemen and a starting corner entered the portal.

Want to do something special with this last game day thread. For a basketball gameday thread we got to 100 plus ratings i.e. like, winner. If CF gets my OP to 100 of the combine ratings above I'll donate $100 to We Will. If we don't get to 100 whatever number is by kickoff I'll donate.

Someone hasn't watched either team and took 7 minutes to look at rosters . . . :)
