Memphis Tigers is an intercollegiate team participating in Conference USA representing the University of Memphis. The team?s home is a massive 62,380 seater stadium called the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. Donning jerseys in school colors blue and white, the college football team prides itself with remarkable alumni which include DeAngelo Williams who now plays with the Carolina Panthers. The Memphis Tigers also boasts of having 2 mascots?one of which is a live tiger who unfortunately died recently, and a costume-clad mascot by the name of Pouncer. Tom II, the teams? live tiger will be replaced by Tom III. Picking the right tiger wasn?t really easy, they had to pick one that encapsulates their vision of an appropriate representative of their university.

Since 2001, the Memphis Tigers? head coach has been Tommy West. He has served Clemson University before he transferred to Memphis. His son, Turner, is currently playing as wide receiver for the Tigers.

Early on the conference, Clinton McDonald, Quarterback Arkelon Hall, and Curtis Steele proved to be forces to be reckoned with. These players are stopping at nothing to beat their opponents and win glory for their school. Even with a splint, Hall continues to be an asset for the team. The team is set to meet up with 2 more games this season. Charlie Jones and Earnest Williams are just as important in the team as they have provided the touchdowns significantly. Wide Receiver Carlos Singleton is yet another athlete to watch out for. Alton Starr also leads the record with a whopping 70 tackle record which includes 4 tackles for loss, 3 pass breakups, fumble recovery and an interception.

Clinton McDonald leads the Memphis Tigers with seven sacks but is unfortunately injured right now in his ankle. Currently tied with the Marshall Thundering Herd at 2nd place currently for the conference stats, the Memphis Tigers will stop at nothing to bag the East division before anything else. The Tigers average 27.3 points per game matched with 242.7 passing yards and 196.6 rushing yards per game. They have remarkably lost only four fumbles in ten games. The team ranks 3rd among in Conference USA if we?re going to count the points allowed with a stingy 25.3 points per game. Most impressively, they top the total defense among the Conference USA teams with a striking 331.6 yards per game and ranks 43rd among in the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

Over the past ten years fans have had their hearts broken when the Memphis Tigers have been the better team and yet lost the game on several occasions. The Memphis Tigers had a rough post season contention as they lost the first three games of the season and their top three quarterbacks but they are definitely going to give their 101% effort to make this year different for their fans. Their formula to win is simple?a powerful roster; an outstanding bounce from a humiliating loss streak; their passion, courage and will to win; and most importantly, the support of their fans.
