I don't really know where it should be though. Memphis is central-ish and New Orleans or Orlando might be nicer, but I'm not sure the crowds will be great unless the home team is favored to win. And I don't think SMU or Cincinnati are at all interested in hosting.

I'm originally from Orlando and this an absolutely absurd comment. I would be surprised if there is another major city in the country that is a bigger college football town than Orlando....now South Florida is another story altogether.

I have invited the conference tournament to come to Little Rock every year but they have not responded.

Bring on ECU.

I hope that there are a few more fans in the house tomorrow morning for our game - but suspect that it could look a lot like this crowd of empty seats.



The weather and the early hour will have it like a morgue tomorrow.

Snow forecast for about a 12 hour period beginning midnight tonight.
I'm pitching the tent tonight in Greenwich about 1:40 away. Hope I make it.

They've probably BLOCKed your number and email address.

Tulsa hit something like 1 of 20 from the Field in about last 11 minutes but still lead Tulane 26-23-this seems to happen to Tulsa on weekly basis
