2009 Memphis Spring Football Prospectus 
MEMPHIS, TENN. --- The Tiger football team is slated to begin spring practice on Tuesday, March 24, at the Murphy Athletic Complex. The squad will have 15 practices and will conclude the spring session with the Blue-Gray Game on April 18.
The time and location for the spring game will be announced at a later date. Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium is unavailable to the U of M this spring as renovations are continuing on the stadium. The scrimmage is free and open to the public.
New defensive assistant Jack Curtis will have his first opportunity to work with the team on Tuesday as he was hired last week to coach the safeties. Curtis came to Memphis after spending the last seven seasons as a co-defensive coordinator at Arkansas State.
The Tigers are slated to practice Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday throughout the spring session.
The Tigers recently announced the 2009 football schedule, which includes six home games. The opponents that will be traveling to Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium this season are: Ole Miss (Sept. 5), UT-Martin (Sept. 19), Marshall (Sept. 26), UTEP (Oct. 10), East Carolina (Oct. 27) and UAB (Nov. 14).
