The outpouring of support & sympathy has been amazing-thank you. There were 2 payoffs that made the hard job of the Tiger Guy worth it-TOM’s affection & the joy TOM gave to his fans-especially kids. Seeing what TOM meant to you is wonderful and helps me through a dark time.

People who work in Athletics do it for passion. For all but the highest levels the pay is modest, the hours long, & the recognition often lacking. It’s a labor of love & their real payoff is the success of the student athletes they serve. Wonderful people lost their jobs today.

So lets recap: Memphis lost by 6 in double OT to a 13-0 team that beat (by 7) the team that beat Bama & GA; and by 1 to a Big 12 team that beat OK. No shame in this 10-3 record, Tiger Fans.
