UofL vs Memphis
- Thread starter shadow force
- Start date
I’d like to see the Cincinnati rivalry on the schedule as well
Mem-Piss State
I have no interest in renewing a series with Memphis after all the backstabbing from them we had to put up with. We don’t gain anything by adding them to our schedule they gain a lot. I would like to add Cincinnati in basketball and football.
I agree. If I want to see Louisville play Memphis State I will watch reruns of the sweetest missed free throws of all time.
Question: which was worse? Missing those free throws or getting picked up and embraced by manboobs?

We bitch and moan about SOS screwing us out of the tournament, then bitch and moan about who we play.
We can only play whoever WANTS to play us.
We don’t know who’s asked, but if Kansas, Auburn, Arizona etc haven’t, do we keep getting Austin Peay types?
Or take Memphis? 🤷🏻♂️

Cincinnati is in a respectable conference a win over a P5 team helps. Memphis is in the AAC which is now basically a mid-major conference. This game benefits Memphis more than us, I have no desire to help make Memphis relevant.
This is how bad the AAC has become the biggest rival game for Memphis in their conference is now Tulane. When was the last time anyone saw Tulane in the top 25?
While I align with Koz about Memphis; all of a sudden I wonder if the inclusion of UC and Memphis on our BB schedule might be an indication of some potential changes within College Sports and Conference alignment. I seldom believe in coincidences, and this retro direction is just too convenient.
Let me be clear, I know “FB drives the bus” in college sports, and I am not suggesting UL is leaving the ACC, or that either Memphis or UC are moving to the ACC. What I do believe is that neither the existing situation in college sports and/or the existing Conference affiliation is sustainable. Even the BIG and the SEC schools have expressed concerns about the impossible conditions within their own conferences when it comes to travel for all of the other sports, other than football, considering these bizarre geographical obstacles from conference expansion.
Just wondering out loud if there are discussions about separating Football from all of the other sports, that could result in interchangeability within the conferences themselves? Baseball for example, already has UL playing UK, Vanderbilt and IU in midweek games that make a whole lot more sense that UL traveling to Miami, or UK traveling to Austin TX, or IU traveling to UCLA.
WVB, WBB and MBB may never rival FB, but the popularity of those aforementioned sports are gaining both attention and revenue …….. I see a huge chance for change now that might not have been possible just a few years ago.

Is this the first year that acc has shortened the league games scheduled? I was thinking that it’s the reason for the open spots on the schedule and CPK has taken Denny Crums approach to scheduling
Cincinnati and Memphis are considered rivals because they used to be in the same conferences together. That's how those rivalries got established.
It use to mean a lot because we were in the same conference and the games meant a lot for the standings. I don’t think it will have the same feel to it as it use to.
Im not the one who implied Coach Crum was responsible for scheduling those games when they were conference games.
No, I’m implying that CPK is similar to Crum and his difficult non conference games. It’s a plus for CPK to revive the old school rivalries in order to make the non confrence schedule more difficult.
Facts!!!! Memphis actually finished the regular season with the 6 ranked RPI I believe. A chance for a quad 1 win, really helps the resume at seeding time.
Memphis may have been left behind but they’ve done fairly well in basketball and football. Southern Miss, on the other hand, has fallen off the face of the earth. They are below Western.
It is a shame how far So Miss has fallen they use to be really good in football and very competitive in basketball. They were the only show in Hattiesburg that has to be really disheartening for the locals. If Memphis doesn’t get a P5 conference invitation soon they could fall into the abyss. When Tulane is your biggest conference rival you are in trouble.
