For those going to the GMAC game, when are you heading out?

I'm leaving Memphis EARLY Wednesday morning, 12/22. That will put us there with plenty of time to catch game.

Looking forward to meeting LOTS of BGSU fans!!!!!!

Memphis, AKA The Bluff City and The City of Good Abode, is definitely a Southern town is just about every aspect.

We Memphians pride ourselves on our Southern hospitality.

I can personally guarantee anyone who visits will have a wonderful time.

Unfortunately the defense cuts in the 90s resulted in that facility being closed. It also pretty much shut down the Millington Naval Air Station which is just outside of Memphis. B...

I still remember seeing a late-70s Trans Am running around East Memphis. Across the spoiler on the trunk it had airbrushed "Memphomaniac".

Of course, my 77 TA would've blown it away... Candy-apple red, 6.6 liter, 400CI...

The University itself was established in 1910 as a teacher training college. Its original administration started the groundwork for a full University from the start. It became a state college in 1928 and a full University in 1932. I could be off a few years on those numbers, but in either case, it ...
