NCAA Div. I Men's Basketball Smackdown

[Miss Kitty]

OMC! MSU beat LSU, the only SEC team in the top 25! And #1 UNC lost. What a crazy tournament season! Mizzou is winning, so I'm sure Miss Kitty is happy.

Speaking of Mizzou, as I've mentioned before, hubby's best friend is called "Mizzou" because his dad was the famous John (Hi) Simmons of Missouri. They were both on the Tulane basketball team. Mizzou was best man at our wedding. Hubby and Mizzou are playing in a golf tournament in Charlotte next month. Good times! Missouri is having a hard time with Baylor right now.

...nah...BIG 12 CHAMPS!!!!

Thanks, BR!

;-)...we ate dinner, not by candlelight, but by the light of the TV and the bear killing play of the Tigers in the BLACK AND GOLD!

The Tiger basketball program has nothing to do with the Pyramid..once again you are misinformed! Umm last I checked ya boyz Wayne Chism and Bobby Maze(is that his real name or his rap persona?) had some street cred as well Lady! So the Tigers are street players cause they play a scrappy, uptempo frantic end to end style? Works for me sister ...and apparently its that same "street ball" that got them to the National Championship game right? Ray Mears...the name means absolutely nothing to me. Just another Vol legend I suppose you all worship up on Rocky Top. Who are you kidding Lady..that orange sportcoat is hideous. Kinda matches his orange skin though so its only fitting. Wow..looks like the Tigers will begiven a #1 seed tomorrow. Bet you will be on pins and needles during the selection show to hear about your Vols huh? Might be a good change of pace to hear about the Vols in another light rather than it being about Lane Kiffin making thinly veiled racist comments about other SEC schools. You know you all have a real good thing going up there on Rocky Top. Id be ashamed...oh and GO STATE!!!

The Tiger basketball program had everything to do with the pyramid when they played there. They named it the Tomb of Doom. Apparently you don't know everything like you think. Yeah, the Vols play a scrappy uptempo full court game also, but that doesn't make Chism a street ball player. The Tigers won by 2 points, wow. Big deal, the fact of the matter is, when the tigers actually play good teams, like Tennessee, etc., they barely get by. We are already in the NCAA tournament so I am not going to be on pins and needles during the selection show no need. You have a lot of nerve coming on here and just joining the board this month so you can take jabs at someone you absolutely know nothing about. :roll: Not worth my time.

Look out for the Roadrunners

Our friend's son is the coach for Univ. TX - San Antinio.
Brooks Thompson's team made it to the Southland Conference
championship game! It will be televised Sunday @ noon on ESPN2. (not sure if this is est or cst)
They will be playing the #1 seed, Stephen F. Austin. They
are seeded #6. They knocked off the #3 seed, Sam Houston, Friday afternoon and
beat #2 seed, Nichols State, last night! We will root hard for them, as a win
Sunday afternoon gives them an automatic "ticket" to the "Big Dance" - the
March Madness NCAA Tourney!!!!

We knew Brooks as a kid in Alaska and he then moved to Colorado. He played for Texas A&M and Oklahoma State and then Orlando Magic.

Best of luck to Brooks. He was a great player and must certainly be a good coach. Wonder who he might play first if he makes it to NCAA Tourney?

...thanks, and congrats to you for holding the fanatics at bay!

Thanks. It's not really Inlet Bch Owner I have a problem with that much. But anyway, yeah, my team lost to the Tigers this year in Knoxville 54-52, but they won here in Memphis back in 2008 66-62, and won in Knoxville the year before that by 18 pts. I guess that still holds a sore spot for some.

But no worries. Like I said, when it comes down to Memphis, they barely get by in games against good teams. And most Tiger fans are aware of that. But enough said Miss Kitty about that. I don't want certain ones getting their panties in a wad.

Yeah yeah...Im a fan I admit it and Im also annoyed by folks that wanna talk smack about their team and then when someone steps up an opposes them they get rattled! As far as the Tigers record against the Vols, I could care less really. The Vols are but a tiny blip on the radar when it comes to bigtime bball programs. As March came around last season all the Vols fans were like "the Tigers only loss was to us...the Vols" and so it was. What did that have to do with anything? We were a one seed (which we will probably be this year thanks to some teams being upset) and we made it to the National Championship game. Say it Lady D...N-A-T-I-O-N-A-L C-H-A-M-P-I-O-N-S-H-I-P!! The tigers barely getting by in big games...hmmm lets see! Last season we handily beat Georgetown, Gonzaga, Arizona, UCLA, Michigan State and Texas. Those werent "barely" or just "getting by" wins Lady! This year we beat Gonzaga and your beloved Tennessee Vols, and its March again so who knows whats in store for the Tigers!! Anyway..life goes on Lady D and I suppose you have football season to look forward to or maybe not. I could care less about football. Now that fatty Fulmer is gone though whos gonna be the butt of all the anit-Vol jokes?? Lane Kiffin...Ed Orgeron? Enough said Lady D. Good luck today against State and their big man Vanardo. Oh and another thing...I love it when my panties get in wad, keeps me on my toes!
