  1. The same can be said about plenty of programs. Memphis has Fred Smith as a booster, has some amazing basketball facilities, academics are easy compared to other power schools, recently signed a fat deal with Nike, and is in a great basketball area for recruitng. That's just the program that I am most familiar with. There are plenty of programs that offer what Oregon can offer. Even if North Carolina, Duke, Kansas, etc. had worse facilities or worse boosters, coaches would still go there because of the history in those programs over a place like Oregon that has had a mediocre basketball program for years.
  2. I played the demo for this and the pitching is impossible. It seems like everytime I throw it is a wild pitch or a hit batter.
  3. The finish was really nice, but the way Alonso takes just one look up and heaves the ball the length of almost half a soccer field is pretty awesome.

  5. - LeBron James --- Cleveland Cavaliers - Kobe Bryant --- L.A. Lakers - Dwyane Wade --- Chicago Bulls - Chris Bosh --- Oklahoma City Thunder - Amar'e Stoudemire --- Pheonix Suns - Joe Johnson --- New York Knicks - Many Ginobili --- San Antonio - Carlos Boozer --- Miami Heat - David Lee --- New Jersey Knicks - Rudy Gay --- Memphis Grizzlies - Tracy McGrady --- Miami Heat - Ray Allen --- Boston Celtics
  6. Drake's lyrics have no substance and are all about getting women and getting money. Cudi isn't a ridiculously good lyricalist, but his music is much more original.

  8. I think the Tyler Smith thing helped them out in the long run. Bruce Pearl is a great motivator and I think they used the disrespect they were getting from the media as motivation for the rest of the season.
  9. Nice to see that a player drafted into arguably the smallest market in the NBA has a huge willingness to stay there. The NBA needs more stars like this because small market teams usually don't have the chance to win NBA Championships when the star player they drafted blots to a big market when FA arrives.
  10. From what I heard, Memphis is Josh Pastner's first choice, but he's going to listen to offers from St. John's, DePaul, etc. if he doesn't get a raise. Right now he's on a two year deal winning less than a million annually. Based on his recruiting class for next year and this season success (yes, the NIT is successful considering the lack of talent we had), he deserves a long term deal. R.C. Johnson better not let another coach slip away because this program was lucky to score a homerun hire with Pastner in the first place.
  11. Jerome Jordan will be a solid role player and maybe Varnado because he times his blocks so well.
  12. Awesome job. This fits my computer screen perfectly too.
  13. Thought I would actually get two Final Four teams right with Baylor looking like they were about to pull away, but West Virgina is the only one I got right.
  14. How can a team with a salary cap not win the National Championship? Once again Calipari can't win the big game, no matter how much talent.
  15. Horribly officiated game on both sides.
  16. Might as well hand Kentucky the championship even though it'll get vacated.
  17. Some one needs to keep him entertained. I wouldn't be surprised if he got drafted past the thrid round.
  18. LOL at Calipari using the "we're not respected" crap with the media. That worked with Memphis because it was a Conference USA team, but not with Kentucky.
  19. If Syracuse doesn't win the National Championship, I at least want to see Kentucky get embarrassed somehow. Imagine if an Ivy League team beats mighty and powerful Kentucky...
  20. Syracuse gets all the credit for their defense and deservedly so, but their offense is just as good. So many go to guys in the perimeter and Wesley Johnson is good enough to take over a game by himself.
  21. When is Cudder supposed to come out?
  22. [expletive] this. I just want an exciting tourney. I don't really care who wins as long as it isn't Tennessee or Kentucky.
  23. Just got back from a lecture Spike Lee had at the University of Memphis. Funny, the first thing he said was, "So, Memphis plays the Johnnies tonight, huh?"
  24. What a finish. Props to St. John for showing up for a good game against a fired up crowd.
