Dontari Poe was a good player for some lousy football teams at the University of Memphis. Over his three seasons (2009-11), the Tigers went 5-31, bad enough for two coaches — Tommy West and Larry Porter — to be sent packing. A gap-plugging nose tackle, Poe was good enough to earn second-team all-conference honors in 2011 and attra..>> view originalMemphis officials ask for delay in request to move statue

Posted: Yesterday 5:53 p.m. 2 When the Memphis Tigers lost their bid to become NCAA basketball champions in 1985, I blamed myself. I moved here in 1979, but I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio.
