Really? I haven't talked to anyone, because I think I only know one Memphis fan down here... but nobody seems to be really fired up. The news media people (H-tine and GP) seem to be Rah Rah, but what everyone told me today was exactly what has already been said: "Great, if nobody else leaves..."
Everybody that I know that is a fan is ecstatic. One guy posted on FB earlier today that he teared up thinking about it, and I know him well enough to know he wasn't kidding.
The most bizarre news came today. It's very realistic that we play in the Big East as soon as this fall.
