So I emailed that writer, Jay Saunders, to quit crapping on the AAC

[Guest PCBull14]

That dude is an idiot, Memphis didn't win in Oxford.

Trying the call people out and can't even get his facts straight. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. Pretty sure the pig is long gone and he is the one waiting around at last call!

Hes an idiot.  Good job trolling him.

I don't blame anyone for crapping on the AAC. It's not a good conference.

The conference is a heck of a lot better than I thought it'd be this season, however it's still not good. 

The problem will continue to be the bottom of our conference. There will almost certainly be 3-4 teams that struggle to win 3 or 4 games a year. Tulsa, Tulane, SMU, UCONN, and then the occasional USF/UCF bad year same goes for Temple and Memphis could be back in that conversation quickly.

Once Lynch leaves, and Fuente is not far behind him Memphis could easily be at the bottom of the conference every year with the usual suspects like they were for decades.

Memphis record since 1980 (34 years of football, from 1980-2013): 139 Wins - 244 Losses.

Temple over the same period: 120 Wins - 264 Losses.

Tulane over the same period: 138 Wins - 255 Losses (This includes an undefeated 12-0 season in 1998).

Don't have the patience to look at SMU or UCONN or Tulsa, but I'd guess it's not pretty. 

I think it's fair to claim this season we have a pretty good conference outside of the P5, but talking in general terms this conference is still pretty darn bad. 

 

Every conference has its bottom dwellers.

However, this actually good. If you don't have these crappy teams there is no way you get three undefeated teams...simple math. Now, it would be nice if these crappy teams won a few out of conference games against meaningful teams.

They said that about the Big East too.  The AAC is actually a pretty good conference right now.  It's had good success in it's first two years.  I mean you can't deny that.  How will it be three years from now? .... who knows?.... but to say  it's not a good conference now is simply not true.  I can name bottom feeders in every single conference so pointing out those teams is a little pointless.  Wake Forrest, Syracuse, Boston College, Virginia... that's just some from the ACC... or how about Iowa state, Kansas, or K State?  I mean losing teams are in every conference.  Doesn't mean the conference sucks.

Idiot may be an understatement. At first I thought this was a play on words, Parody Will Rule the Realm  After reading the article, there's absolutely nothing that supports it being a play on words. He really is that stupid.          

Also, I knew that name rang a bell. He's the numbskull that helped perpetuate that ridiculous B12 expansion scenario earlier this year that supposedly originated from an "ESPN source" .... Funny stuff.
