Walter Roop heard about the success of the 2011-2012 Tigers and was present at our win over Ole Miss last fall. He was so impressed with the energy and athleticism that he saw on the pitch that he decided to get behind the Tigers with full support.
Walter, a founding member of the Memphis State University Tigers of 1983, provided gold support for the University of Memphis Tigers for the 2011-2012 academic year. The Tigers used the sponsorship to purchase a new set of jerseys for the club. The Kian Koleini presented a jersey to Walter at their recent match where the jerseys were inaugurated in a 55-17 win over Harding University, inviting him to be an honorary member of the team. He wears the #8 jersey that he wore while a member of the MSU team.
