i live in memphis. always have. i am a memphis tiger fan. always have been. through good and bad, wins and losses, final 4's and lossing seasons. so please excuse me for being a little excited about the fact that this saturday night, my #1 in the nation university of memphis tigers will take on our bitter rival and #2 team in the nation the tennessee vols. i will hardly sleep until then, and i am asking you all to pull for the tigers! honestly this should not be hard to do because there is truly no excuse for being a tennessee fan. i mean, unless you were born naturally obnoxious, how could you pull for a team whose color is bright orange? there coach is a perfect match for them, he is a snotty, egotistical, self centered jerk who if there is any justice in the world will get his sorry ass handed to him in M-town saturday night! DON'T PLAY! GO TIGERS!!!!!

ROCKY TOP! lol jk man. I am definitely rooting for memphis. Ive always had an appreciation for memphis since the penny hardaway days, to dajuan wagner, to when they almost got amare stoudemire until he bolted for the nba. Personally, I think it will be a TOUGH game for memphis, as Tennessee is crazy good. But I think the thing that gives Memphis an edge is that Tennessee is a big time shooting team, relying a lot on both smiths, and lofton from outside. That means if they happen to get cold (which really hasnt happened this year) they will be in trouble. Memphis scoring is much more consistent as a lot of it comes from driving to the hoop and fast breaks. Either way it will be a great game, I'm taking Memphis.

it will be a battle! lofton is insane and they are fast paced like us. dorsey will have to stay out of foul trouble and cdr and rose will need to control the tempo. i was a student when penny was here so i saw many battles with him and van axle from cinncinati! dajuan was one of the best guards we ever had, wish he would have stayed longer.
