The Reading of the Record of Wrongs committed by the Memphis Tigers:
- Memphis claims that the Volunteers are not "Tennessee's team." No, Memphis is "Tennessee's team" and "America's team."
- Memphis believes that "playing Tennessee is not beneficial to [its] national schedule."
- John Calipari believes that the Vols "foul, like on every possession."
- Calipari believes that Tennessee can only get players from Memphis if Memphis doesn't want them.
- Calipari says he is more afraid of Tulane than Tennessee.
- Calipari's arrogance is derived from success against Atlantic 10 and Conference USA opponents.
- Calipari's standard response to having to honor the contract requiring Tennessee and Memphis to play home-and-home games:
- Memphis players slap fans (click for big and then see the poor guy dressed in red among all that horrid blue):
- Memphis retailers sold thousands of blue I Hate Orange t-shirts prior to the Pearlfection game last year.
- The Memphis athletic department denied ESPN's request to pack out the FedEx Forum with half Tiger fans and half Vol fans and instead limited admission to 3,500 Memphis fans.
- Memphis somehow orchestrated a distribution of tickets to last year's game such that it seemed almost as if no two Tennessee fans were sitting next to each other.
- Calipari (intentionally?) referred to Memphis native J.P. Prince as "P.J." last year.
- Memphis players basically wrapped Chris Lofton up in a tight little taquito shell last year so he could barely move, much less shoot.
- Calipari considers Tennessee "a regional power."
- The maximum distance Calipari can be kicked is only 200,000 miles.
- There is no program in the country that respects Tennessee less than Memphis.
- Memphis fans taunted Dane Bradshaw three years ago by chanting, "Mem-phis Re-ject."
- Their abnormally-colored logo looks less like a blood-thirsty carnivore than your paraplegic grandfather rolling his wheelchair toward you looking for an inappropriate hug.
