take it with a grain of salt, but I have spoken with several Memphis fans/supporters this past week and to a "T".......they all thanked me and MSU for taking Matt Barnes off their hands. He was their #1 target for Silverfield to get rid of. Felt his defenses couldn't stop a Pee Wee team offense and had he been any good, they could have finished with 10 wins. Oh well, I just told them maybe a change of scenery will do him some good. Plus, getting to coach at a real university can remake a resume. Time will tell.

The buddy I get season tickets with is a lifelong Memphis resident. I just looked up the text he sent me the day Barnes was hired - "That guy will fit right in with the we're gonna beat you 50-48 mentality."
