I'm assuming you mean Memphis State University. I remember when you guys were "Memphis State" It's really something if you go back and look at some of it. We've somehow been the odd man out sometimes by our doing, or bad luck or bad timing on conference realignment moves going back 50+ years. I've always felt that's a P5 school/city that's never gotten the chance.
