11/3/2022 Memphis Edition:
Let's recap the Cinci game...
EXCELLENT. ECU was a puzzle to me...there was consistency forming and it seemingly fell apart for ECU.
I still felt UCF could win at home against Cinci, and Julian and I were pretty close on our predictions. The final was 25-21, Julian predicted low with 20-17, and I predicted higher with 31-28. We both were close on the spread at -3, and the final spread was -4. Well done I feel...
Onto the Beale-Street Bengals...(Memphis)

Memphis Tigers Fun-Facts:
The University, similar to UCF, went through a name change from Memphis State University to University of Memphis as many know in 1994, but the school STARTED as West Tennessee State Normal School as a Teachers college in 1912.
Memphis awards about 3000 Doctorates annually.
The colors blue and grey were chosen as school colors to commemorate the "nation coming back together" after the civil war. Both colors represent the primary colors of both opposing armies in the Civil War.

My friend's son Julian's prediction:

Julian's line of doom: UCF -21 (He's not old enough for Vegas, sorry)
