As a little wjrii, we lived outside Memphis for a few years, and around 4th grade I realized that this “football” thing my dad and brother liked was indeed pretty cool. Also, just in general I fell in love with understanding the organization of high level sport (SO MANY brackets and leagues of fictional teams done in Crayola colored pencils). All of this is just to say that the Metro Conference and its stillborn dream of football glory remembers… Go Tigers!
Please ignore my Florida degree and 1980s fondness for Miami-based football teams. This is purely wholesome affection for the local team of my childhood and eventual alma mater of several Facebook friends. It definitely has zero connection to any unhealthy fixation on hoping to see my team’s rivals dragged down to our level.
Memphis is looking pretty good. Kind of crazy that their QB is the only 4th-year starter in FBS to have played all 4 years at the same school. And it’s always nice to root for an underdog.
I’m not keen to make fun of powerhouse programs, as my alma mater was on the receiving end of that for a decade. But it is funny to hear all the boos pouring down from the stands
Memphis @ FSU

Wow, from cfp shoe in to 0-3 in 3 weeks… ya love to see it
I can go into the rest of the games with a good reservoir of hatred joy.
G5 Mike versus SunBelt Billy is going to be the weirdest game ever.

Man FSU is straight up not a good team, huh?
