Penny Hardaway is a JOKE!

BREAKING NEWS: Memphis men’s basketball team test positive for being scared of the University of Tennessee.

The in-state showdown game was scheduled to be played in Nashville on Saturday at 12:00 EST. It was cancelled about an hour before tip-off “due to Covid-19 protocol” from the Memphis program.

Memphis coach, Penny Hardaway is a joke. He has been scared of Rick Barnes and the University of Tennessee for years. Hardaway has perfected the art of flopping over the years and Saturday’s flop may be his best fake play yet.

Hardaway showed up Bridgestone Arena the same way he showed up to the 1995 NBA Finals; he wasn’t getting a win. It makes sense that when a bag of peanut M&M’s at Bridgestone Arena ($4.50) cost more than your rookie card is worth, ($2.50) all Hardaway has left is the hot air that keeps coming out of his mouth.

Memphis Executive Associate Athletics Director, Dr. Adam Walker, said two Memphis players tested positive for COVID-19. Due to contact tracing, the rest of the Memphis team was ruled out due to COVID-19 protocols. An unnamed player woke up on Saturday and was not feeling well and then he tested positive. The unnamed player’s roommate was also tested and it too was positive. Memphis whined saying “We simply didn’t have anywhere near a reasonable amount of players to play, We’re talking down to, like, four or five.”

Before the season started, Memphis coach Penny Hardaway said “probably 90%” of his players were vaccinated.

Wait, whaaaat? There is no contract tracing for vaccinated players. If 90% of Memphis players are vaccinated and only two Memphis players tested positive, then how in the world of common bleeping sense and basic math does this does add up to 10 or 11 guys being ruled out with a 15-man roster? (90% of 15 = 13.5) Even if the two guys were vaccinated players and the roommates were unvaccinated that is four men max ruled out. You still have 11 guys who can play. All this hot air coming from Hardaway’s mouth explains why global warming is an issue.

How pissed would you be if you spent hundreds of dollars on travel/hotel/parking and showed up to the game and it was canceled over some shady Penny Hardaway bull shit? Fans have every right to be livid.

Tennessee coach, Rick Barnes announces to the fans who made it in Bridgestone Arena before the cancelled announcements to stay and watch the Vols scrimmage each other. You know, because some coaches have class and players, play. But for the packed fans outside that were still trying to get in the arena, they were turned away and denied entry once the announcement was made. Players took photos with fans and thanked them for coming.

When Barnes was asked about rescheduling the game he said “There is no way in our schedule with what we have. We have one more non-league game, then we break for Christmas for a couple days and we are into conference play, plus we have the Big12/SEC Challenge with Texas. We have no open dates.”

So, what now, it’s like the game was never even scheduled? In the SEC there is a rule that you have to play or you forfeit. It’s that simple. The 6-4 Memphis Tigers should have to forfeit the #18 ranked 8-2 Tennessee Vols. Hey Selection Committee, I hope you are taking notes. Memphis needed this win waaaay more than Tennessee. I hope the Vols end all games with the Tigers in every sport. Memphis is the only loser here.

This was supposed to be a big game for Tennessee’s leading scored, Kennedy Chandler, who is from Memphis and was recruited by the Tigers. Chandler was ready to put on a show.
