Does Anybody Buy What Memphis Is Selling Anymore?
A "bold" proclamation: If Memphis doesn't at least make the Final Four this year, no matter what their record is next year, they're not getting a No. 1 seed. The team has looked downright wobbly so far and just about blew it yesterday. Though at least Derrick Rose was able to keep playing past the f...

Memphis Tigers
1. The Plush Club. The Tigers' late-night exploits at 380 Beale St led Coach John Calipari to institute an 11 p.m. curfew and no-nightclub policy. The first incident at the Plush Club happened in the early morning hours of September 2, 2007, when forward Shawn Taggart and shooting guard Jeff Robinso...
Clemson Tigers
1. "Clempson," as some locals refer to it, resides in the city of Clemson in the northwestern region of South Carolina known as "The Upstate."

Tiger Is Unstoppable
Tiger Woods just put away Stewart Cink record fashion at the WGC Match Play Final by a score of 8&7. What that means is that Tiger was leading by 8 holes with just 7 remaining in their 36-hole match. Although they never got anywhere near that 36th hole, Tiger managed to pile up 11 victorious holes t...
The Memphis Tigers Will Not Tolerate Spelling Errors
So here's a stark reminder that even when things are seemingly going perfectly, — as in 25-0 — it can all turn horribly wrong in an instant. As you've no doubt heard by now, Memphis saved its unbeaten season on Saturday with a 79-78 win at UAB; on a three-point play within the final 10 seconds of t...
So Who's Ready For Another Run At An Undefeated Season?
Which is harder: Completing an undefeated season in the NFL, or in college basketball? I NEED TO KNOW!
