Ol Pocket Lint thinks Memphis won't survive without him. Can we say DELUSIONAL?
About right!Penny comes out of the cinema after watching a super hero movie, and thinks he's
Must be in the water in Memphis man; both Cal and Penny think they're God's gift to basketball. Tubby must have drank Dasani or something while he was down there.
He turned into the little claymation version of himself from the commercials in real life.
Tubby is a good man, that is the difference. Way more of a common man than a big ego of most coaches.Must be in the water in Memphis man; both Cal and Penny think they're God's gift to basketball. Tubby must have drank Dasani or something while he was down there.
I think Deion can actually coach a little too. I like the way he runs his program, he’s cocky but he preaches hard work and being the best, competition over everything.Lots of similarities between Hardaway and Prime. It’s not that I don’t think Prime is a lot more likable and higher profile he definitely is. I just see some similarities there.
He’s probably right that they would get worse, but sounds like he’s been told that he better produce results this year or he’s done for.
I think the jury is still out on Deion. They lost, what, their last 6 in a row? Won a couple by FGs? They had hype and talent, and were pretty close to as abysmal as they were the year before. IMO, Deion hasn't shown a darn thing but the gift to gab. He's fun, but I won't say he's even mediocre yet.I think Deion can actually coach a little too.

Walmart doesn't donate to Arkansas.Memphis fans have turned on Hardaway for the most part so yea he’s definitely trying to get out in front of the heat, but he’s well behind it. More or less now just taking up for himself because he’s not used to the local media coming after him which they are now. He was given free rein to run his mouth and do things “his way”. He’s alienated a lot of people and now his bosses are finally getting the message.
He’s become unavailable to everyone including some of his players. He just brought Mike Davis on staff, so with Stansbury (I believe he’s still there) that should be interesting. Which Penny doesn’t listen to his staff anyway so…
Penny, if you don’t know him personally, is likable. Once you get a taste of him he’ll run you out. Awful mouthy guy with little man syndrome for some reason. This will be his last year in Memphis barring some kind of miracle.
Also of note and missed in all of this. Why is Memphis not getting all of the top 5 players everyone assumed programs like theirs would get in NIL? Fred Smith (FEDEX) and the founder of Lowe’s? Where’s the big time recruits? Arkansas has Walmart and this football recruiting class is it? It’s a bunch of bull****. These guys aren’t throwing tons of money away on recruits that much is obvious.

He’s at one of the worst P5 jobs out there, the fact he won any games with 50 new players is kinda inasane. He’s gonna need years to build them up to a bowl winner type team. The won like 1 game the past 2 or 3 years. I think he’s the perfect type coach that will appeal to talent these days mainly. Their offense was pretty solid but they had no line in either side and their defense was abysmal.I think the jury is still out on Deion. They lost, what, their last 6 in a row? Won a couple by FGs?

I'd like Penny more if this was the Memphis basketball theme song.Nope. Neither does Jerry Jones really. I’ve noticed the programs that boast about alumni money the loudest are the ones wishing not getting.
For years Memphis has Fred Smith’d us to death. Still waiting on all of his promises. Cal still waiting on that private plane.
@Killswitch24 Hell, this could be Calipari's theme song too.

I give up- what’s with “pocket lint”?
In six seasons there he's only been to the Tournament twice and won one game. He did however win the NIT in 2021. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Memphis has had 3 different head coaches Gene Bartow, Dana Kirk & John Calipari that reached The Final Four. Something that Penny Hardaway has never come close to doing & never will. Memphis has had & will have in the future much better coaches than Penny Hardaway.
If you have ever been to Memphis you could easily understand how anyone could think they are the cream of the crop in that town. It really wouldn't take much to be the king of Memphis....no offense to Elvis.Must be in the water in Memphis man; both Cal and Penny think they're God's gift to basketball.
