hey MU88, did a memphis alum kill your dog? calm down man, its just a message board.
anyway, back to the program..
5 TEAMS I LIKE
[B]1. Kansas[B]- I went to school there for a year. awesome campus, awesome fans. no better college sports enviroment than a KU basketball game at Allen Fieldhouse.
[B]2. Mississippi State[B]- Other than Jackie Sherill, ive always thought they were very classy. i always root for them if they arent playing my tigers. and yes, they are MY tigers.
[B]3. Florida[B]- Anyone who hates the Volunteers as much as we do, they are my friends.
[B]4. Oregon State[B]- Weird choice for a southerner, but ive always liked them. my older brother's best friend was an oregon transplant in memphis. his mom worked for nike. anyway, he was a huge beaver fan(no pun intended). just rubbed off on to me.
[B]5. THE University of Memphis[B]- I tried to put another team here, but i had to be a homer. i grew up on stories about win wilfong, larry finch, ronnie robinson, dave cassinelli, and have been watching since a little kid. ive have been lucky to see some great teams and players here. keith lee, andre turner, elliot perry, issac bruce, steve matthews, anfernee hardaway, lorernzen wright, russell copeland, danny wimprine, and DeAngelo. sorry, ill stop now.
5 TEAMS I HATE
[B]1. Mississippi-[B] I even hated the kids at my high school that were gonna go there. i had an aquaintance whose parents spent 12,000 a year on a private high school and they wouldnt let him go anywhere but Mississippi. i asked them why they spent so much on high school when they were going to send him that college. why not Vandy or Tulane? they said, "because that is what we do." never a whole lot of reason behind anything Mississippi does. with that said, i always love the U of M/ U of M games.
[B]2. Tennessee-[B] I was born hating the color orange. cant stand it never will.
[B]3. Texas-[B] Never really cared one way or another about Texas till i moved down here. wow, their fans are a little off-kilter. not all of them, but a good enough percentage to be thoroughly repulsive.
[B]4. Louisville-[B] dont really hate them as much as i love to root against them. its fun. you big east fans should try it some time. it's like rooting against the yankees. you do it not because you dislike the team, but rather you know their fans are writhing in pain after a loss. as jack eaton(fmr. voice of the tigers) once said, " if lousiville was playing soviet russia, id root for russia."
[B]5. The Big 10-[B] I just can't stand the Big 10. Nothing personal, it just a southern football bias.
anyway, have a good day folks.
