Memphis Tiger Press Conference after 37-23 win over TulaneOver the past 3 Seasons the Memphis Tigers have won just 7 football games, but this year's team has shown hope of improvement especially after Friday's win over Tulane.
The Tigers fought hard and pulled out a win over their conference rival, with new head coach Justin Fuente; the tigers could be on their way to success. In Friday night's game, the tigers showed signs of maturity especially on their offense with less detrimental mistakes and fumbles. Season Ticket holders have not neglected their team due to the lack luster season. Friday’s attendance was one of the highest of the season. The tigers beat Tulane 37-23, a bit more comfortable than their 14-10 victory over Rice earlier in the season. Coach Fuente says, “The fans are doing their job. Fans in the stands really boost the boy’s morale.” The tigers have just 2 games left and if they win just one more it will be the most wins in a season since 2008.

Football InjuriesIt's Football season! Which means tailgating, Sunday afternoon football, and plenty of cheering for your favorite team. It's not often that anyone thinks about the dangers of the sport. According to American Association of Neurological Surgeons, football is the third most dangerous sport after diving and cycling. Over the years, measures have been taken to make the game safer. From the helmets to the padding, the gear has evolved to keep up with the intensity of the game. Hospitals see thousands of players a year, mostly on the high school level, suffering from head, neck, and spinal injuries. The National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research says that proper coaching from an early age is helpful in keeping players safe.
