Memphis Writer Picks SMU

[max the wonder dog]

In a story on the Tigers' upgraded schedule, reporter Jason Smith says:

The Tigers will also play a home-and-home against SMU, which despite finishing third in the AAC last season failed to make the NCAA tournament due in large part to a weak nonconference schedule.

The Mustangs, however, are expected to be ranked in the top 10 nationally this preseason and will likely be picked to win the AAC with a pair of all-conference performers returning in Nic Moore and Markus Kennedy and the addition of five-star point guard prospect Emmanuel Mudiay.

FYI, their OOC schedule includes Wichita State at a neutral location, Baylor at a tournament in Las Vegas, Okie State and SFA at home, and the Zags in Spokane.

Why anyone would go to Las Vegas on purpose is beyond me.

You're kidding, right?

[ponyboy]

Absolutely not. Cheese Central

Well, ok.

I tell you what. Let's divide up the western U.S. I'll take, oh, Jackson Hole and Vail. You can have Vegas and Reno.

[Junior]

When did anyone ever say they enjoyed Reno or didn't enjoy the others?

[Junior]

And Las Vegas is a western city, so it would seem I get about 80% of the continental US. Including TX and SMU.

Deal.

I'm with pony boy. Phluck Vegas. You guys can have it.

[Junior]

Difference of opinion I guess. At least we all still have SMU.

exactly. We'll just take separate vacations.

I choose Vegas.

That shouldn't be any big news. We all know your committee goes out there and loads up on hookers and blow before carefully considering each decision.
