It is like the fat girl that follows you around in high school. You do not even know she is there until she carves your name in a heart on your desk. |

| Sure I was at the game yesterday. They are very good. Derrick rose took over the game in the second half. However, They are not the team that the state gets behind. They are willing to make a deal with I don't know The peoples republic of China to get a player, or one involved in a possible murder.
That said they are fun to watch. CDR's dunk to start the second half delivered perfectly from Rose was a thing of Beauty | |

I continue to maintain that the majority of the Volunteer state is not terribly interested.

| P.S. I admit I'm bitter. I won't bore people by repeating the details here. But if you are curious as to how one west Tennessee resident and U. Mem. alum came to not like the Tigers very much, click here. | |

| I'm just trying to figure out what has Cal done to everyone, he is getting bashed big time. I think he is doing a good job myself with his team, and he is really a nice guy if you ever get a chance to meet him. | |
