Memphis Tigers Football and Basketball Sports Links
Memphis is most well known for having one of the best basketball programs in the nation. The team made it to the Elite 8 two years in a row (2006 and 2007) and those same years won the conference championship, going undefeated in conference play in 2007. Their record the past two seasons is 66-8. The Tigers return all five starters and add heralded freshman recruits Derrick Rose and Jeff Robinson to the mix for the 2007-08 season. The Memphis football program has emerged as a strong contender amid its Conference USA rivals under the guidance of head coach Tommy West. UM went to three consecutive bowl games between 2004 and 2006. In 2005, the Tigers football team was led in the Motor City Bowl by DeAngelo Williams, a then-senior All-American running back, Heisman candidate, and eventual first-round draft pick by the Carolina Panthers of the NFL.
