As the sting from an ever-so-disappointing loss to Memphis begins to settle in, I sit in my living room pondering how it came to be that a Power 5 school in the strongest division of the strongest conference in the country could just up and lose to a Group of Five school. In no way am I implying that Memphis isn’t a good football team or that they didn’t deserve to win. (They are a good football team and they did deserve to win.)
Being the program we are, however, in the division we are in and in the conference we are in and with the money we have, there are just certain things that we expect to have that schools like Memphis don’t have.
