The Rise of Memphis Football

[@5tarJackson]

I would always go to the games as a kid. And we would always lose, but now it’s just so different

[@kennethshaw7582]

It's because the culture of the program has changed and there's a new sheriff in town. Lol.

[@melvinbogard798]

Facts but why memphis never sellout the stadium 29k vs cincy smh and its been that way since the danny whinprime dlo days we need fan support

[@melvinbogard798]

@Timothy Slater the title game didnt have 45k

[@aaronhumes2615]

Yeah, I went to another school but contribute to support U of M academic and athletic programs.

[@midpointestorage6451]

Memphis (Memphis State) was a very strong program in the 60s and 70s as well playing a powerful schedule against the SEC, Southwest conference and Major Independents. Check some of those schedules especially in the 70s. They played Florida State, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Auburn, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Cincinnatti, Houston, Louisville. Most of these every year.

[@HarrisHighlights]

Awesome video. As an Arizona State fan, it's awesome seeing Brady White thrive. Always knew he was a stud

[@JKJ002]

Harris Highlights Thank you! & I agree, I’m glad Brady got a chance to be a starter & show everyone what he could do. Also, I love your videos, keep up the great work!

[@WalterWhiteFootballSharing]

I love watching those AAC games in the offseason; UCF, USF, Memphis; gotta love those schemes.

[@tigerfighter2417]

As a Memphis Tigers season ticket holder we are at the top, only getting better , we are here to stay. Seriously since being a season ticket holder for the past 4 years I’ve learned so much no matter how high you set the bar they will reach it. Even though we lost to penn st Which still bugs me I see the game as a win, I would like to add the penn st fans are very respectful. The cotton bowl was our first New Years 6 bowl game , Riley Patterson set a cotton bowl record and overall the game was a great showing for Memphis. I also realize that because of we haven’t had the easiest ride to the top when we get there it’ll pay off. The city of Memphis is real and extremely down to earth and that can be said for our football , basketball and the university of Memphis. We call our self’s the best team in Tennessee because we are we have been for the last couple of years and will continue to be, as we rise the AAC rises too , when we reach the top the AAC will be with us. I could talk for years about us , you can watch as much of us on TV but you will never get the true experience until you cross the Mississippi River, seeing the pyramid before getting lost on Beale eating the best BBQ I. The world to end off on tiger lane and heading into the liberty bowl to watch the tigers. The game day experience is extremely unique. #gtg

[@tigerfighter2417]

We are a play like a power 5 conference and in the top 3 conference’s last year in my opinion

[@alexlevingston]

@@facelesscalvin1667 Definitely a yes on that one.

[@volsdeep]

As a VOLs fan, Memphis is 2nd favorite team

[@Volsbyfiddy19]

I’m a Tennessee fan but have always liked Memphis I agree with everything except you being the best team in Tennessee

[@barrettrivera1000]

Memphis is just not the best team in Tennessee. Nope. Brady White is an average QB (yes I’ve seen him play live, went to the UCF, UConn, and Houston games year before last, and then the Ole Miss, SMU, Navy, and both Cincy games). Kenny Gainwell is a top 5 back, but UTK is the best team in the state. When UM can consistently recruit the best players from the Memphis area, I’ll listen to arguments on them being the best in the state. Otherwise, they’re always in second place (though they are FAR better than Vandy)

[@cainman5807]

Memphis is getting better and I'm hoping they stay that way because I'm from Memphis and I'll always love the blue and grey #GTG

[@stewartbridgforthiii5107]

I taught Kenny Gainwell in highschool. He made teams look as if they were standing still. As a MSU fan I couldn’t believe that we couldn’t land a good ole boy from Yazoo County. His younger brother is also at Memphis now, and he is a replica of Kenny.

[@FVSUWILDCAT99]

Just a quick add, but the Rise of Memphis Football started with the firing of Tommy West. When he gave his final press conference in November 2009, he put the AD, the administration, and pretty much the entire city of Memphis on notice. He made the declaration that the people of Memphis needed to stand up and ask for more and demand more for the football program while cutting out the negativity. He was yet another fired coach saying the same thing and that history would continue to repeat itself if they (the administration) didn't do something about it. Coach West implored them to give the next guy a fighting chance or do away with it. The consensus is that if he hadn't given this rant over 10 years ago, Memphis Football would not be where it is today. GO TIGERS

[@kennethshaw7582]

I agree 💯.

[@bradenclark3120]

Would love to see a video of the rise of Utah State football. Three top 25 finishes the last 10 years. More winning seasons the last 10 years than the previous forty combined.

[@dln59]

Always believed that if the Metro Conference had also been a football conference, with Louisville, Ga Tech, Fla St, So Carolina, Memphis, Cincy, Va Tech, So Miss, & Tulane, our (Memphis') football story may have been very different.

[@dsmith6110]

Went to the cotton bowl and I was not at all disappointed with how we performed against Penn State. They were a really tough team, but the fans really showed out. It was a great experience.

[@DHW256]

I attended Memphis State, and began taking my son to games in '15. The Tiger games are consistently much more exciting than the games featuring the SEC teams. We look forward to attending more great Tiger football games :)

[@dylanblurton1881]

Memphis was awful under Larry Porter he nearly destroyed the program

[@GR-bn3xj]

I remember some calling the firing racist. He single handedly almost destroyed the program. Great recruiter at LSU and good player with us. Horrible head coach, no personality for the job.

[@kennethshaw7582]

I disagree. He had nothing to work with when he was offered the job. The program was already in bad shape.

[@GR-bn3xj]

@@kennethshaw7582 I m not saying it was loaded, but 3 wins in 2 years, and not impressive ones at that is not getting it done. No development of.players. under Porter, we were nearly at the dead bottom in both offense and defense. Within a few spots of both..that's hard to do on purpose. We had an entire year where we had 8 yards in punt returns. For the entire year we had 8 total yards in punt returns. Think about that. I think you or I could get 8 yards in 11 or 12 games. No speed, and worse, no hope for the future. Maybe he did not start with a good or even decent program, but he made it even worse. He off put fans and media members. He seemed like he was always defensive and did not want to talk to people. He got a tough draw I'll admit. He was a very nice player and it seemed like a great hire. But it just didn't work and no amount of more time would have made it better. The worse part of all to me was the lack of direction and hope. We simply had nothing to look forward to at the time..Fuente gave us that. It wasn't over night, bc he didn't exactly inherit a great program from Porter. But he showed it could be done. No matter how successful Norvell and silverfield are, we owe a while lot to Justin Fuente. It was him who did the impossible. He hasn't been around in awhile, but unlike Coach Cal I will always hope he does well and ten years from will thank him again.

[@thompsonreed244]

we need a game against the vols now to really prove how far we've come

[@kennethshaw7582]

The Vols do not want to play Memphis. They are not ready for us.

[@thompsonreed244]

[@memp6000]

Excellent vid. Been a Tigers fan my whole life. 90’s were also a dark time. Always had core fan base though. The Porter years almost truly sunk the program. Fans had been beaten down. There was legit discussion going around locally about dropping football and focusing on basketball.

[@corybrown514]

Eyes up all in!!!!!! Memphis is climbing and this team is elite

My favorite Memphis game to attend was watching the Tigers take down Houston in Tom Herman’s last game

[@johnysimp5]

I appreciate the video, but I was shocked there was no mention of DeAngelo Williams in the opening of recent Memphis football history? He was a Heisman candidate! Secondly nothing was said about Anthony Miller who carried the team in 2016 and 2017, second round draft pick in 2018.

[@AlonsoWDC]

Memphis has been playing football since 1912. Dunno where 1960 came from.

[@thompsonreed244]

@TheDalaiLamasGlasses they changed the name to the University of Memphisin 1994 so 1960 would still be random if he thought that

[@jackgreen1783]

Great Video I loved it especially as a Memphis Fan

[@jaredtaylor8083]

Memphis might win the American Conference again this season. Good to see that they’ve recruited well to build consistently good teams.

[@Rockzilla404]

Memphis doesn't bring a television audience that the SEC currently doesn't have so they're not attractive to the conference. But if the Big 12 ever decides to expand Memphis should be it's first target. It would give strength to the conference in basketball and put them right in the middle of SEC country. I'd much rather have them in our conference than Vanderbilt. Go Dawg!!

The Broncos are becoming a joke of a front office, if they aren't one already. Elway may have won a SB as the QB, but I doubt he wins one as GM

[@MrHardnut333]

Sean Hart idk the broncos had a very good draft and have a very young team. If lock progresses well then they will be a playoff team either this year or the next. Just a shame for the broncos that they hve Mahomes in their division

[@davidguizlo6157]

They never gave him a chance, instead they went with Trevor Simeon lol.

[@kennethshaw7582]

I agree. I think he has something left in the tank.

[@GR-bn3xj]

It has been an amazing run, esp after the Porter disaster. I think the early 90's teams don't get the respect bc 1) there were so few bowl games for us back 2) no conference 3) the schedule was brutal. We played 5 SEC teams one year. Also had USC, VA Tech, etc.. the fact we did as good as we did then showed how good those teams under Stobart were. In a 15 year period we beat Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Florida, USC, VA Tech, Arkansas, Vandy and Missouri amongst others. Yet we would beat them and then lose to Tulsa the next week. So frustrating.i don't think they got the credit for the giant killers they were bc of the lack of consistent play. For a group of 5 team to beat that many top ranked programs needs its own video. It was an amazing run

[@dln59]

As a Tiger fan of 50+ yrs, that used to drive me crazy. But Stobart's teams were tough as hell. The defense was always top 20. And I've always wondered where the program would be if we hadn't lost Coach Dockery just as he was starting to get results. While may not have won a lot of games during those years, we did win a lot of BIG games, and anybody who played us had to respect us. Go Tigers !!!

[@acetiger9337]

First off I love your videos and especially the 'rise' ones. I'm curious if you're willing to do a 'consistency' documentary too, for example..I've seen videos on the consistency of Bama, Clemson, and Ohio State, but I don't think I have seen a video on the consistency of Oklahoma football. Here's some quick context. In 125 seasons, only 11 losing seasons.. 114 .500+ seasons.. 7 Natty's, 49 Conference Champs, 162 All Americans, 7 Heisman trophy winners..Only program with 4 100+ win coaches, and finally the highest winning percentage of any team since 1945 (.762). For the context of this comment I'm using .500 as a 'winning' or at least a 'non-losing' season. In that context, OU has only had 11 losing seasons (Below .500) 1895..1922-24..1934..1942.1960/65..1996-98.. This shows several notable streaks, including a 3 decade streak from 1966-1995. I'd really like to see a deep dive on why they've been consistent. Thank you for reading my comment, I hope you have a great day.

Good video man just wanted to offer a bit of constructive criticism your audio levels are a little low when I edit my videos for work I try to get the audio somewhere between -12 and -6 usually I try to get as close to -6 as I can. This is the first video of yours I've seen so you may have fixed this issue, sorry if this seems unsolicited just want to help. In terms of the content of the video I love that Memphis football is on the rise. I attend the the university from '09 to '13 so I lived through the Porter and early Fuente years so to see how far this team has come makes me very proud I hope the Tigers continue to climb to the top of the college football world. #GTG

I appreciate that & I appreciate the help as well. It’s not unsolicited by any means, I’m always open to any type of help I can revive & I’ve gotten comments about my audio before. I tried to fix it in my 2 newest videos but I’m still attempting to get it right for the future

[@showmemoblues]

I hate to say this with the new coaches in Mississippi a lot of the talent in Memphis will go there now and this program may take a dip now.. As a player where do you want to go? To the SEC with offense minded coaches and the exposer and knowing many get recruited from the SEC to the pros..
